16. Upon seeing the global popularity of Korean culture, the President of the

the Secretary of Tourism and the Chairperson of the National Commission for
Culture and the Arts to come up with a plan to make Philippine culture the next
big thing. After a series of meetings with industry stakeholders and with a
resolution of support from Congress, the President issued a presidential
proclamation granting tax exemptions to members of the Philippine

authors who gain international acclaim. Is the proclamation constitutional?
