This is the way lie made the people believe in all six months of intensive campaign. But because convention is mandatory following the Rules of the party, Mr. 'Valiente was earnestly supplicated by the local chairman to enter the municipal convention which was set for yesterday Sept. 13. 1967 even if only to prove that he was a loyal Nacionalista This supplication was offered to him for several times but his answer was always firmly on the negative One day before the convention, Standing Cledera. the NP official candidate for governor, always intellectually resourceful as he is, called Mr. Valiente to a conference for the purpose of making him see the side of the question that he (Mr. Valiente) could not clearly see. Watch now the beauty of thought that was expressed in simple terms to Mr. Valiente. “I called for you this morning to tell you that the'con vention of our party will be held in your town tomorrow eve ning. I was reliably informed that you will not. by any consideration, enter the convention. That will leave Mr, Loriaga the lone candidate for Mayor and because he has no opponent his election in the convention is already a matter of fact, lou have been assuring the people of Camaligan that you are de finitely a candidate for 'Mayor whether official or not. In that case, there will be two of you for the Nacionahsta to choose against only one for the Liberals. How can both of you hope to win under such adverse position! Two against one. that certain ly is a hopeless fight. Considering further that the odds are in favor of the Liberal candidate, one, because he is the in cumbent and two, because he has money, 1 honestly believe that both of you are as good as beaten from the beginning to the end, “But one decides to be a candidate because he wants to win and not to be defeated. This should be your point of view. Between you and Loriaga, you are my choice but a I I the people in Camaligan with wh >m I had personally contact ed for general opinion, are unanimous that Loriaga can lick the present Mayor. It is for this reason and for the sake of public interest that I am now asking you to be the team mate of Loriaga for the position of Vice-Mayor instead of Mayor. It is my opinion that both of you will be Jormidably unbeatable. “Now, before we end. my last question is: Are you agree able to my proposition! Convinced that there was wisdom in the sermon of Cledera, Valieate's reply was a curt “Yes". The conference was ended. The municipal convention was held as scheduled, unanimously voted Loriaga for Mayor and Valiente for Vice Mayor after which and in accordance thereto were proclaimed by Atty. Abonal, the party's official candidate for Board Member amidst cheers and ovations and the con gratulations of everyone that was present.” My reason of putting this event into'writing is primarily because of my personal admiration for the beauty and splendor of Cledera s imagination in solving problems that are considered knotty by the ordinary minds.

DBP Has New Coco Financing Program The Development Bank of the Philippines is pleas ed to announce its new Coconut Financing Prog ram which is designed to insure the steady and or derly development of the industry, thereby stabili zing and strengthening the country's previous posi tion in the world market; and to promote the ef ficient production of copra and other exportable co conut products. The financing plans un der this program are of two (2) broad categories: the special coconut finan cing plan and the ordinary straight coconut loans. Under the first set-up, (Conf, on page 8) Gene E. Balfertnoso FROM THE HILLTOP American Responsibility To The Free World (Nineteenth of a series) ' One of our great mistakes was to assure (lie enemy in advance wc were not going to use such nuclear weapons.” Former President Dwight Eisenhower The Vietnamese Resistance Continued—The’ rallying point in the stalemated American involvement in South Vietnam is the belief that U.S. supremacy in the land and air war which has gone to the po int ot escalation is the quid pro quo that military victory is in sight Gen Wesley Westmoreland, the American allied commander in South Vietnam lias made the assurance that to meet the primacy of this requirement - there fshould be a comparative increase in U.S. manpower deployment to an aggregate of 1,000 0(>0 soldiers that could handle effectively the recurrent problems ol North Vietnamese infiltration passing the notorious Ho Chi Minh frail onto South Vietnam. The situation t? be rightly appraised would mean that in filtration is going on steadily despite the U.S. bombing runs which Defense Secretary Robert McNamara definitively answered his critics that the bombings is intended solely to reduce the mode of infiltra tion of North Vietnamese military manpower and equipment. Todate the American manpower status in South Vietnam is placed at 545,000 soldiers thus overshotting the half-million mark. With the request of Gen. Westmoreland for more fighting units-the U.S is expected to bolster its fighting men to 3/4 million or 750 000 soldiers by the end of 1967 and may reach the million mark by the middle of 1968. Thus far it is safe to sav that the U.S. pragmatic policy is that U.S. involvement as a result of continued Vietnamese resistance is to live in an indefinite doldrums until such time as American strategy to devise better means or deploy better weapons of war as will compel and break the backbone of North Vietnamese to the negotiating table. Vo Nguyen Giap—North Vietnamese Tactician Tn the preceding installment the writer discussed and traced the movement of the Vietnamese resistance culminating in the ignominious defeat of the French forces at Dien Bien in 1854 Nominally the Indo-Chinese war wts so costly to the French trying the main bulk ol the French armed forces to the Asiatic mainland for over a decade, The de feat of the French forces automatically reduced France as a second rate power. In the travestry of the stiffened and continuing North Viet namese resistance from 1944 to the end of the Indo-Chinese wirii 1954 and from the year 1954 when the Americans took the cudgel for the defense of freedom in Southeast Asia-one man aside from President H> Chi Minh of the North Vietnamese Republic is to be reckoned with and who consistently keeps the communist forces feve rishly fighting without let up .for their amor patriae The man is Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap-the agile North Vietnamese Hanoi Professor turned military man. As Secretary of Defense of the North Vietnamess communist forces lie has indoctrinated th • wily art of guerrilla warfare to the point that Nguyen Giap personality has become the symbol of the continuing Vietnam dialogue and ever continuing stiffened resistance. From the year 1954 when the Kingdom of Annam (Indo China) was partitioned as a result of the Geneva Conference , the United Stales has practically stayed in South Vietnam for 13 years in a straight row without yet knowing for sure when the un declared war would end.

Jimenee said that the above • mentioned reasons plus many others and the over two million pesos monthIf payroll for the over 7,000 employees almost account to what the P.N.R, is today. Ae to the ory of inefficiency •f the rail line, the Manager asked for more understanding from tbe public on behalf of the over 7 000 employees and their families. God wil ling, with tbe present trend of improvement now being instituted, effeoiency will come, despite the shortage of motor cars freight cars of all kinds and coaches for passengers which are much lees than before tbe war, the P.N.R. is doing all it can, short of miracle. Taking iota considerstion the increase of volume of traffic and using less equipment and tbs same rails that it had been using for the last sixty five yeatsi the P.N.R. should be given kudos and encouragement. Freight cars before the war were 1.844 today we only have 1,097. Passenger cars in servioe areoDly 53 and 27 are alternately under repair. Again on tbe publio unders tanding end eooperation, tbe General Manager asked tbe traveling publio to be more conscious too of their duty to safeguard the interest of the properties of tne P N R. especially its equipment end tbe passenger eoacbes which are always subjected to vanda lism and oanivalism. Every now aod then oewly instal led equipment and furni shings disappear. The manager said further that it io very easy tor the rail line to make money it profit is the main eonsideration in tbe operation, but tbe public must know that tbe P.N, R. has a duty to perform and that is the National Economy, The rail line has <o serve the people that helps develop the economy of the Country by providing rreans of transportation to tbe people from small and out of places stations and towns. Without tha railway line tbe economic develop ment of out of way places would be rustic and stagnant. Asked further to elaborate oo this point tbe Manager said that to stop a train alone in a small station means buodreeds of pesos less in terms ol wear and tear of spare parts! Yet small stations have to be maintained and serviced aod employees have to be taken in regardless of the insigni ficant financial return that the Company realizes from these points.

As to the Cagayan and tbe Sorsogon lines. Manager J menez said that although the project is a losing proposition it has to go thru because it is tha duty of the goveroment to h9lp tbe people in the two regions develop their economy as well as their well-being Even after fifty years of operation tbe Manager said, the capi tal to be invested in tbe projects can not be taken baok. Tbe Cagayan project will soon get on tbs way again because its fioanoing is coming. But tbe Sorsogon line has to wait pending the final study by the Japanese financiers It will take about six moots to survey and it is estimated that it will also take five years to complete tbe project which w.ll cost 160 million pesos. Already 60% of tbe rigbe of way have beeu purebsed according to tbe Maa8ger. As to the clamor of some lectors to sell the railway company to private enter prises tbe Manager said that nd private sector will ever consider buying the Com pany if it has to consider g ving back to the stockhold ers their money that they invested at tbe same time giving tbe same service to tbe publio that tbe P.NR. now is giving So, tbe Maoager seid that it is almost criminal to sell if we expect to have tbe same, tbe return of invest ment end the service that tbe P.N.R is now giving to tbe public* Maybe it is bet ter for a private sector to put up another line of their • wn if they desire to help develop our economy.

So a number o/ political leaders told us. Would that mean more money to line up their pockets? ★ ★ The choice of Gov. Peping S. Estevez of Albay by no tess than Pres. Marcos, to run for re-election under the NP banner, a number of friends told us, augurs unprecedented progress for Albay. It would mean unlimited public works improvement and rural development. In his speech during a huge proclamation rally at Legazpi Port the President told Gov. Estevez to prepare and submit to him projects amounting no less than ¥300,000. That .would also mean reduction, of unemployment in the province, ★ ★ Some friends asked us: Why had Gov. Estevez been changing parlies? to ...clarify matters and set the record s raight, we brought this question to the youthful and affable Albay provincial executive. He said: The windfall that lhe province will receive froni Malacanang will eventually mean progress for Albay. I believe that one has to disregard some times one's party loyalty if it would mean more benefits for the people.” ★ ★ Political observers are of the opinion that lhe Albay NP provincial slate is a team hard to beat. Powered by Gov. Es tevez. he counts with the assistance of Board Member Jess Salalima and his running mate for the governorship. Known as “Mr. Nacionalista”, Salalima is popular with the mas-, ses. ★ ★ Pres. Marcos muit be a master political strategist. Du ring his recent visit here, he was able to iron out NP squab bles to the satisfaction of everybody. For the first district} he was able to convince Board Member Poloy Bocalbos, ano ther NP loyalist, to forget his gubernatorial aspiration and run as a good follower for the unity of the party.” ★ ★ Another partyman, Maning Aytona, brother of our fa vorite Senator, Bading Aytona, buried his vice gubernatorial plan and accepted a draft as member of the provincial board this coming November elections. He represents the second district. For the third district, young Obet Reverente of Oas was equally happy with his candidacy for board membership. (^Messages My. District, the “Lone District of Masbate”, an island province and one of the components of the Bieol provin ces. Though we are such distance we always consider ourselves Bicolanos. May I therefore, join the people of Bicolandia during this REGIONAL AN NUAL FESTIVAL in honor of the Virgin of Penafrancia that always continually bless us with peace, brotherhood and understanding. I am honored in extending my warm est greetings and sincere felicitations to everyone. Manila, September 8 1967. (Sgd.) Rep. ANDRES CLEMENTE, JR. Lone District, Masbate It gives me immense pleasure to greet the peo ple of the Bieol Region on the occasion of the feast day of their Patron Saint, Our Lady of Penafran cia. Mauy are the blessings, both spiritual and ma terial, which we have received due to the intercession of our Lady. Our region is truly one of the most religious areas in our land. We have contributed ma ny of our sons and daughters to the various Catholic religious orders as well as to the secular clergy. Some of our sons have risen to high echelons in the hie rarchy, These are indeed blessings for which we should be grateful and of which we can be justly proud. The Bieol Peninsula is a rich agricultural re gion. We are almost self sufficient in everything. This is proven by the fact that although many areas in the country suffered starvation and want during the last war, the Bieol people were relatively prosperous during those dark days of our history. For all these manifold blessings, we should raise our thoughts and our hearts in fervent prayer of gra titude to our Patron Saint. On this day, it is meet that we should ponder on her life, virtues and labors so that, imitating them, ure may achieve the dream of our lives by winning eternal life. (Sgd.) HON. SALVADOR R.
