Extension of the Balikbayan Program
Letter of Instructions No. 652, issued on January 6, 1978, extends the Balikbayan program for overseas Filipinos from March 1, 1978, to February 28, 1979. This extension aims to accommodate those who have not yet participated in the program due to economic factors or job commitments.

The incentives and benefits remain consistent with those outlined in the earlier Letter of Instructions No. 493 from December 30, 1976.
