Sur, May 20. — The passage in both Houses of Congress of House Bill No. 7270, converting this town into a city, forced the residents here, oppos ing the measure to seek Malacanang’s veto over the bill which they vigorously opposed. A letter and telegram to this effect had been forwarded to President Fer dinand E. Marcos immediately following the close of the 100day regular congressional session by the anti-city residents headed by former deputy governor and editor Margarito de Villa. A de legation to go to Malacanang which had been planned original ly was however discouraged and cancelled for obvious reasons.

We came to file an injunction against the new Mayor of our town for having arbitrarily dismissed us from service. We served as Chief of Police and policemen of our town from January, 1963. Judge: Why do you say arbitrarily? Are you or is there anyone of you who possesses civil service eligibility? Policemen: No sir. All of us served in a tem porary capacity. Judge: The ground by which you maybe justified legally to file injunction against the new Mayor of your town is to prove before me that you have offic ial personality as such Chief of Police and policemen. Now do you have with you your appointments as such Chief of Police and policemen? Policemen: Yes, your honor. We have here our individual appointments. Judge: But these appointments of yours are dated January, 1963. In order to justify yourselves in your efforts io seek justice your appointments for this year are necessary because the law says that appointments for temporary employees without civil service eligibility must be renewed every six months that is, you should have new appointments dated July 1 and January 1 of each year. In the absence of these appointments government disbursing officers are inhibited by law to pay you your emoluments. Without renewed appointments your terms as such Chief of Police and policemen have ceased. Therefore my court has no jurisdiction over the case of in junction ivhich you intend to file against the new Mayor of your town. Your last recourse is to submit your case to the Polcom which has complete jurisdict ion over police organizations. So ordered. ★ ★ Note: Thus, we appoint you, Judge of Sabah. — Editor.

The issue of trawl boats ope rating in Sorsogon marine waters took a new twist with the report that some of the vessels operating are manned by Japanese. Mayor Manuel Carranza of Magallanes disclosed that some Japanese trawl boats were seen poaching in the territorial waters of that municipality. Earlier, he told local reporters that some of the Filipino-owned trawl boats operating in these waters are heavily armed making it difficult for local law enforce ment agents to undertake pursuit. Many sustenance fishermen li ving in the municipalities bor dering the 50 square miles Sor sogon Bay have been complaining against the operation of these trawls as they claimed that it de prived them of their main source of livehood. According, to them, trawls do not only destroy the 'spawning grounds of several important commercial fishes but also catch spawners. Sorsogon Bay is the spawning grounds of such com mercial species as crabs, slip mouth, kandule and shrimps. The problem of trawl opera tion in these waters has plagued previous administration to the extent that an appeal was made to Malacanang for a total ban on this form of fishing in Sor sogon Bay and Magallanes wa ters. However, no ban has been issued. But local fishery person nel pointed out that there is a law regulating trawl operation in waters seven fathoms (42 feet) in deep. Unless said law is am ended or a new law specifically prohibiting trawl operation in lo cal waters, the executive depart ment cannot issue any ban, ac cording to them. JOSE D.

GamesA Food MANILA, THE PHILIP PINES. — While the United States seeks to settle the future of the Far East on the battle field, the Filipinos have develop ed a more lasting solution in the rice paddy. They have pro duced an agricultural revolution which may have a better chance than armies of overcoming the Communist revolution. They are sending their Asian neighbors not bullets but rice—a revolu tionary new rice which promise to fill the empty bowls and bel lies that are, to a large extent, responsible for the great discon tent that grips these lands. The dramatic decision to dis tribute the experimental rice to Filipino farmers, risking a dis astrous crop failure if the deve lopers were wrong, was made by the Philippines President Ferdi nand Marcos. PARADE was in vited to sample the new food at a private luncheon at Malaca nang, the presidential palace. His beautiful wife, Imelda, who dazzled Americans when she came to Washington, dished out the rice as if it were caviar. They talked with enthusiasm about the crop that they believe will change the course of Asian life and bring new affluence to people to have suffered for cen turies from hunger and over-po pulation. “We are only a small country,” said President Marcos, "but we can help feed the world. If other countries plant Meanwhile, the Adult Group convened last April 24 at the residence of Councilor Bob Ruelo, and elected the following officers’: Ex-Mayor Moises A. Habana, Sr., president; Loreta Pimentel, vice president; Nena Rojano, secretary; Nellie Barrarpeda, treasurer; Na tividad Magistrado and Timoteo Pelagio, business managers; Mo desto Abainza, Jr., auditor; Ser gio Vargas and Rosalde Anciano, press relations officers; Bo. Capt. Oca Cailo, Councilor Bob Ruelo, and Mrs. Bonifacia Pasilaban, elected advisers. Meantime, Atty. Leoncio L. Clemente and Miss Josephine Roco, were elected Chairman and secretary-treasurer of the MBA, respectively. (Seniors) 2nd Any Team Miracle the rice as we have, the Philip pines will have helped to elimi nate starvation in a part of the world where millions of people known nothing else.” The development of the “mi racle rice,” as it is called by the farmers who have planted itx un questionably is a major contribu tion to civilzation. Besides the promise of sufficient food for the world’s most underfed peo ple, it offers a way to improve the whole social spectrum for the underdeveloped nations. The new rice, , known officially as IR 8, was born at the Inter national Rice Research Institute at Los Banos in southern Lu zon. The institute, staffed with an international group of scien tists and agricultural experts, is financed by grants from the Rockefeller and Ford founda tions. IR 8 is a hybrid rice, the result of a cross between a short, tough Chinese plant and a tall, delicate strain known for its ability to produce a heavy crop with proper fertilization. A Njw Rice is Needed Alone, neitheir plant has been able to meet the needs of farm ers in the lands where rice is the main course at every table. The delicate variety —Peta — has a six-foot-high stem that is high ly vulnerable to storms. The wind and the rain bend it in half, and drop its heavy head into the water. The small Chi nese plant withstands the last of weather, but produces little rice. The researchers at Los Banos, remembering how crosspollination gave America corn that filled the nation’s grain bins to overflow ing, did the same thing with the rice plants. The results have been equally spectacular. The IR 8 hybrid is short and tough like its Chinese father, but pro duces rice like its Peta mother. It took the International Rice Research Institute only four years to develop this rice,” Pres ident Marcos said, with a touch of wonder creeping into his voice as he remembered the centuries that have passed with out any substantial improvement in the staple crop of half the (Continued on page 6) May 25, 1968 ★ THE BICOL STAR ★ 3 monkey business PETE L.

From the Author’s 'Garden of Verses’ The Need for a Tourist Spectacle Int’l. Tourism Year - This being a tourism year- it is about time that this premier province of Bicolandia should vie as a matter of consciousness- inspire to devtlop the vast potentialities of a tourist site as a tourist spectacle. It should not be amiss to say the least that by harnessing the promotional gear toward all-out interest in tourism- it can be considered both as wise and expedient the cultivation arid development of a beautiful spot which could produce the end results t» attract the incessant flow of tourist trade within our boundaries. It is a sad note to make the observations that the previeous provincial administration has left a big void which should be filled to dramatize our participation and involvement into the tourist area where other provinces before us such as neighboring Albay or Sorsogon for this matter are now making such boun tiful harvests as worthwhile dividends for past endeavors.

HILLTOP NEWS COMMENTARY Frenchmen Need Reforms For A Change The Antidote to Chaos and Disorder - President Charles de Gaulle's Fifth Republic stands still today on the verge of anar chy. Half a million students and 8-million French industrial workers, teachers tn and around Paris joined hand to ignore the orders of the government in exchage for massive reforms in education, higher wages, better living conditions, etc. This is the reaction of Frenchmen today after following up the second term of President de Gaulle’s government.

The largest increase was in the second class category where an increase of 212.275 kms. is shown. The largest increase, 141.96 kms., came in the category of trail.

An over-all average increase about 22 kms. per year was achieved, but if the amount due to an increase in trail length is subtracted from the total increase, we are then left with an increase of 278.525 kms. of road over the twenty year period from 19471967, or an average annual in crease of about 14 kms. In the area of first class roads, the 56.99 kms. increase represents an average annual increase of only 2.85 kms. As the preceding analysis show’s, the performance in past years has not been marked by out standing progress in the area of new road construction. But, per haps the problem of inadequate road maintenance presents an even more pressing problem at the present time. At the time of the road survey (March, 1968), there w’ere approximately 55 kilo meters of provincial road found to be impassable by jeep, out of a total of some 517 kms. of pro vincial 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class road. Upon computation, we find then, that 10.6% of the provin cial roads were impassable by jeep and - this during the dry season. In fact, maintenance of exist ing roads was the, biggest single problem sighted during the re cently completed occular inspect ion of provincial roads. As the two survey teams compiled their individual reports and discussed their findings, the most frequent ly made observation was that roads were very poor and badly in need of immediate rehabilitaGOV.

By comb-ning the existing and planned national roads and selected pro vincial and JJ roads, we find that the Province can have a good pattern of trunk roads to form the basis of an integrated road system for the Province of Camarines Sur. With this in mind, the follow ing roads were selected as num ber one priority for rehabilitation and/or improvement. They will serve to tie the various regions of the province together and form part of the nucleus of the Cama rines Sur road sys’em. Most of the following selected priority roads are combinations of already existing roads and would require very little in the way of new road construction; they would how ever, demand a vigorous program of road rehabilitation and main tenance. Clearly, such a situation needs immediate attention. Selected Roads for Priority Attention and Funding: The two teams have made recommendations for maintenance and road improvement in their summarized team , reports and it is not necessary to repeat these recommendations here. However, it should be stressed that there must be an orderly system in going about the rehabilitation and/or improvement of provin cial roads following an over-all design of road improvement and construction.

Garay House Bill No. 7270- an Act canventing •the municipality ol Iriga into a city succesfully pas sed the Senate on third reading last May 16, 1968, without amendments. This was made possible largely by Senate Almendras who spon sored the bill in the upper cham ber and also with the able sup port of Sen. Aytona and Sen. Ziga. The bill as passed bv the upper house, except for some minor changes in phraseology, was practically the same and all major provisions remained intact. As things now stand, the measure goes to Malacananh for presidential approval. It is the prevailing consensus that the President will most likely approve the bdl in a week or two. There is however a disturbing report unconfirmed though, that Philippine Gamble Pays Off Dreams that Come True MANILA, - (UPI) — It sounds as risky as turning a trained mice act over a bunch of rats. But it worked and in the successful experiment may lie the germs of hope for a new and revital ized Philippines where law, order and faith in elemental human dignity may yet prevail. The experiment is the Luneta Beau tification Project — a dream come true for the man who originated it, Teodoro Valencia, columnist for the Manila Times, and Imelda Marcos, the Pres ident’s wife who can be as deter minedly tough as she is pretty. Mrs. I. Marcos Fiye years ago, Luneta Park and the old walled city of Intramuros lying off the Sea and Roxas Boule vard were among the toughest areas in the world. It was literally worth your life to walk past the area after sundown. Squatters’ shacks sat amidst squalor unequaled anywhere. Today, the area has been turned into one of the most beau tiful park areas in Asia. The squatters have been resettled, and there is virtually no crime. Who accomplished the job, this near miracle in this still lawless city? Five-hundred ex-convicts. And they still are at work beautify ing such areas as old Fort Santiago where Japanese tortured and murdered hundreds of Filipino, American, Chinese and other pri soners before they set fire to it and fled at the end of World War II. Not ohe of the convicts have slid back into crime. And they see to it that the Manila hoodlum element does not operate in what they like to think of as ‘‘their area.” The beautification project has been carried out entirely through contributions, and it is obvious that the Filipinos take pride in the transformation. The area, once one of the dirtiest, is now litter-free. And it has touched off similar projects in other parts of the city. Not far from the Escolta, the old financial district where law says men must wear jackets which they seldom do, an entire plaza Was transformed overnight. Grass grows and fountains play in co lored l-ghts at night. Beautification projects may seem a small point on which to bare hope for a hation which needs so much physically and moral ly. But the Philippine leaders have been saying for years if a strong pride in nationhood could be aroused, the country could do (Continued on page 7) Of Importance To Teachers Rep. Aguedo F. Agbayani (N, Pangasinan), chairman of the House Committee 6n Education, said recently that the Committee has reported Out for discussion on the floor of Congress, HB No. 17451 amending the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers. The bill, co-authored by Reps. Agbayani, Salih Ututaium (L, Sulu), Andtes Clemente, Jr. (N, Masbate), and ConStahcio Maglana (N, Davao Oriental), seeks to provide additional protection for the "small fry" in the educa tional system, particularly, class room feathers. an official of the province of Camarines Sur is hell-bent on opposing it and will allegedly resort to a last-ditch lobby at Malacafiang. The crucial qdery now is, Will this official succeed fin thwarting the aspirations of Iriga to be a metropolis, or shall this same official again receive a stinging rebute as he found out to his dismay in congress? To oppose a thing for a noble and justifiable cause deserves commendation and support but to consistenly oppose something for obviously political and perso nal interest is a brazen manifes tation of sheer rascality and irresponsibility. The proper perspective then in this connection, should be magnanimity in defeat and humbleness in vistory. Agbayani said that the measure actually introduces five amend ments which were formulated after consultations and thorough discussions with the Philippine Public School Teachers Associa tion (PPSTA) and the Depart ment of Education. Sectian 6 of the Magna Carta has been amended to permit a teacher to voluntarily transfer, Upon his request, even within three months before any local or national election, but teachers Would continue ‘ to be protected from transfer within such period as they can not be transferred vacationist because of the good beaches and beautiful scenery.

SAN FERNANDO - SALINGOGON ROAD (J,: Unkn. kms., gravel all-weather road With temporary Structures. A Food . . i world. "I felt sure it would work. Still, it was a gamble when I ordered our farmers to plant it.” President Marcos’ gamble has brought the larmers unexpected dividends. IR 8 ripens in four months a full month faster than Standard varieties of rice - and it will grow in any season in most tropical lands, thus giving farmers a three-crop year. To finance the fertilizer and insecticides needed to assure a heavy yield, the Philippine gov ernment has instituted an agri cultural credit program which makes loans readily available to farmers. With the new rice, bankers in the counttryside are assured of getting their money back. “This has changed the Phil ippines from being a rice impor ting nation to an exporter,” President Marcos said, and there are statistics to back up his words. The rice yield in the Philippines, wherever IR 8 is grown, is five times greater than it was previously. Only last year, before the crops were in, the Philippines figured it would take 35,000 tons of rice from the United States to feed the population. With the first IR 8 harvest, however, the govern ment realized the American rice would not be needed, and it was sent on to feed the hungry in another island nation, Indonesia. President Marcos is eager to share the Philippines’ new wealth with the rest of the world. He has already sent the seed to the leaders of more than 60 other nations. At the coronation of the Sbah of Iran last year, gold gifts came from all over the world. The present from the Philippines looked poor by com parison in its burlap sack, but it was far more valuable than any of the others. It was a bag of IR 8 seed. When the monsoons destroyed the rice crop in South Viet nam’s costal plains last October, the Philippines rushed 45 tons of seed to the stricken area. This saved the farmers and the belea guered country’s economy. The results were so exciting that Vietnam is now changing over to IR 8. President Marcos’ pride is jus tified. “This is a more import ant revolutions,” he said, "than those being fought with guns.” Hotel and . . * hotel and restaurant operators to send participants to that city for one week.

The road was constructed with the use of heavy equipment during the last administration, but no surfacing of any kind was provided for. This road passess through lands previously accessible only by foot. Because the initial expenditures for the road will soon be lost if the road is left unimproved, it is recom mended that temporary structures and a gravel surface be provided for, particularly for the ApadSan Isidro Junction Section.

The Research and Planning Di vision proposes, that in order to insure all-weather travel, a plan of resurfacing and general reha bilitation of all aspects of this road be undertaken.

The second amendment, Agba yani said, would permit the detail or transfer of school superintendents, district supervi sors or private schools area supervisors where such officials have been assigned and have stayed in a school, division, re gion or area for at least five years immediately preceding the transfer or detail. Agbayani said that the amend ment does not in any way deprive the school officials covered of their right not to be transferred without their consent, but mere ly limits the right to five years. It was also pointed out that some school officials actually abuse the powers of their office to persecute and harass school teachers, especially where such officials have overstayed in their assignments.

This revival augmented egg production at the very beginning by putting up additional 300-day old chicks. Last March 31, 1967, there were barely 200 original chicks. After 3-month care-taking another 300-day old chicks were added. The gradual shipments has great ly improved the project. This poultry is part of the vocational department of the newly founded college, formerly Masbate National Agricultural School (MNAS) and now the Masbate Agricultural College. It is the most attractive depart ment because it is here where students work routinarily. Through scientific and proper management, this project was able to produce 160 well selec ted layers. This realization was due to 141 layers and later 181 imported layers from far away agricultural school in Luzon. Eggs are classified- A, B and C. These are sold at nominal prices at 15cent. 14cent. 13cent. respectively. Rejected eggs or cull were sold at P2.20 per kilo live weight. At present there is an average production of 350 eggs.

Despite an appalling rate of violence — nearly 400 violent deaths in the first two months of the year —tehre are other wisps of hope in the wind for this nation, the only country in Asia built even partially in the American image through nearly 50 years of American occupation. Until recently, tour operators hesitated to bring their groups to the Philippines for fear of assault and robbery. Hence there were no really first class hotels and only a shabby tourism industry and what the travel experts call a "tourism plant.” Today, Manila abounds with new hotels - some already open ed, others abuilding. Only recently the luxury-lined Manila Hilton opened; two months before that it was the slightly smaller Sheraton Philippines. The International Hotel Corporation is building another luxury hotel near Forbes Park, Manila’s millionaire’s row. The Su lu Hotel in suburban Quezon City is a showpiece of Filipino ar chitecture. The new hotel rooms mean more foreign exchange will pour into the Philippines and jobs for thousands. The Hilton, for exam ple, has peopled its public rooms with dozens of some of the pret tiest girls in Asia. Agriculture is looking up. For the first time in years, the Philippines exported rice last year — 10,000 metric tons. This year the country hopes to export three times that amount — thanks largely to the new strain of miracle rice called IR-8. The nation still features some of the most savage and inge nious crimes to be seen anywhere. At one of Manila’s best known social-professional clubs, the manager suddenly found the central airconditioner had disappeared. A few days later it was a grand piano which had to be taken down a circular staircase; it had been brought to the top floor by derrick. But it appears that the government finally is in earnest about doing something about it. President Ferdinand Marcos has given Manila police authorities six months to clean up the city or he will turn law enforcement over to the tough Philippine constabula ry. Police here have mounted what in effect are "search and des troy” missions. One of the most hopeful signs came recently from Manila’s articulate — some say too articulate at times - press. In an unpre cedented move all of the newspapers in Manila carried the same editorial on the frontpage calling for tough action now to wipe out crime. It had a galvanizing effect on authorities. More joint press action is likely to come.
