Box 123, Naga City, Philippines It’s supposed to be merry Christmas, but my paisano, the "Partial Reviewer" is never merry at all. His candidate was unable to go through. Unknown to the "Star Witness" is the story that Mr. Diez was the " mastermind" of the Fuentebella-for-governor movement. Manong Andres, mayo lamang kita dian? Veinte sana. • The election of governor Armando Ciedera is a blessing to the Nacionalistas in the province. Under the NP party rules, he automatically becomes chairman of the party. The fight for supremacy is ever. @ • Former Rep. Juan F. Trivino appears to be interested in having a return bout with the incumbent 1st district Congressman. Mr. Trivino must have heard that the "great parasakdo” is in trouble. No "lagdong sakdo" this time. 9 • The people of Noga City did not believe that Concejal Naldo Borja consumed more NESCAFE than Hizzoner Inting Sibulo. They elected the man to the City Board. No more coffee break this time, maybe. • • Atty. Gerry OR A A, my candidate for Congress in 1969 is the most academically prepared man for that fight. He holds two engineering degrees in addition to his law degree. Whai he 'acks is s "third degree" in the assessment business. 9 9 Councilor-elect Bob Ruelo will soon be the guest of honor of a meeting of the "CASARAROAN NIN KINAPOBREHAN" headed by Mr. Jacinto Romero. This organization after all is not a political group. Its activities are not limited to the compaign period. 9 9 The incoming Naga Municipal Board should learn from the bitter lessons of the past. Partisan considerations should be subordinated to the overall interest of the people. That's the only brand of politics which will stand the test on the day of reckoning. 9 9 Why are we supposed to be happy during the Christmas season? The heavenly hosts proclaimed the answer. Glory be to God in the highest. Reason? He has declared that henceforth man is at peace with Him. God sees sinful man through the perfection of His own beloved son. Christian joy is founded on the rock of divine pardon. ® 9 The rebellious attitude of our young people may be traced sometimes to the stubborness of patents in refusing to see things from their young ones point of view. Love and understanding from a father or mother can go a long way- to cement a lasting harmony in the family. 9 9 The rising wave of criminality reveals the powerful influence our movies and comics have over those who patronize them. Stories glorifying crime amount to a hypnotic suggestions through association. The mind of man is largely "subconcious" and this subconcious state is highly suceptible to suggestion. Under the influenceof his conditioned mind, man stands helpless.

FM on Human Rights President Marcos declared recently that the acceptance of human rights by the government and peoples of the world is “one of the foundation stones of civilization.” During the observance of Human Rights Day, the President pointed out that it "is both as reminder and an encouragement” for enlarging the "moral possibilities of our culture” thtough the extension of human rights to every individual and community in the world.

Roxas;, otherwise he’s just as good as making his own obstacles in 69 ★ ★ The LP Senators are right in demanding from the Budget Commissioner the nature of the funds released during the electoral campaign period. It’s most unfortunate though, that Mr. Sy-Changco is responsible only to Mr. Marcos, and the latter in turn responsible only to the people. Nevertheless^ Sen. Ziga & Co, should know better than making Commissioner Sj Chingcr their source of information. ★ ★ Sec. Antonio Raquiza reportedly spent almost all of his 12 million-peso contingent fund and. about half ol his 9 million discretionary fund during the period f rom Oct. 1 to Nov. 20, 1967. So What? He was authorized by Congress It spend ' it, was’nt he? Why blame Raquiza? or Marcos, for that matter? If ai all, there should be anytne who should be more blamed for all lh:se abuses of public funds expenditure, it should be the very people who approved the national budget in the first place. ♦ * There is no truth to the rumor that another Marcos cabinetman is due to resign for the complication of his wife in another shaddy government-deal Prizes for Red Cross Tickets Raffle Here Reduced Prizes stipulated in the Red Cross raffle tickets will suffer major changes due to losses wrought by typhoon “Whelming” to agricultural crops and properties in Naga City and Camarines Sur. This was the consensus of opinion made by members of the local Red Cross Board as attempt to step up sales of raffle tickets failed to materialize. Individual agents and group agents like Public School Teachers, Municipal Mayors and Treasurers, other Red Cross volunteers and supporters due to hardship in the present living condition the effect of last natural disaster failed to cover their respective quotas or goals. Dr. Joaquin I. Perez, Camarines Sur-Naga City Chapter Chairman of the Benefit Division, at special meeting of the PNRC board, presented the problem after hearing a report on partial collection amounting to P3,700 The raffle, a fund raising drivr suppose! to be held Decembe 31, 1957, registered a very poor sale and placed the local Red Cross board in adilemma.

Rusk Praises Pr;gress in Philippines, other Asian Nations New York - -“The remarkable” political and social progress in the Philippines and other noncommunist countries in East Asia shows polit:cal stability and confidence in the future, says Secretary of State Rusk. In the Philippines, Secretary Rusk said, “the Marcos administration is making noteworthy progress with a program concentrating on rice production and road building. “New rice strains are coining into use. They were developed at the International Rice Research Institute at Los Banos, organized in 1960 by the Ford and Rocke feller Foundations in cooperation with the Government of the Philippines. These new strains, combined with new techniques, including proper use of fertilizers and pesticides, are increasing production dramatically. “The Philippines has responded to the request for help from the Republic of Viet-Nam by sending a 2,000-man military engineering unit and other assistance.” AON Alumni Priests To Concelebrate Mass for Msgr.

He said that it is his hope that human rights will continue to spread and take root "toward giving the fullest possible opportunities for the pursuit of happiness to all men”. The President’s message follows: “One of the foundation stones of civilization is the acceptance of human rights not only by sovereign governments but humanity as a whole; acceptance . not intellectual assent, but as a moral and spiritual conviction. In the last few generations, the recognition of human rights as a basic element in human progress has gained wide currency, and through the United Nations.respect for human rights has become tn ethic for many governments to live by, who perhaps in time will be able to enforce this respect with all the authority necessary. The celebration of Human rights Day today (Dec. 13) is both a reminder and an encouragement. We have, as a whole, made sigrfificant against in enlarging the moral possibilities of our culture, through the hastening of the process of accumulation of experience in the validation and extension of human rights to every individual and community in the world.

More land reform areas will be declared possibly «to integrate the entire Centrral Luzon. The second district of Pampanga was made a land reform area last year. President Marcos made this disclosure in his speech before the Philippines Historical Association seminat last No. 29. He said that his administration can now concentrate more on land reform, because its programs on rice production and infrastructure like irrigation, road, schoolhouse and pier constructions, have been successfully launched. The declaration of an area as a land reform area is the first phase among the steps taken in making tenants eventual owners' of the lands they are tilling. The government will eventually buy big landholdings, which will be subdivided and resold to tenants under liberal terms of payment.
