Tests for Ateneo Scholarship Set Congressman Fuentebella Concreting Poblaciones of Pili, Baao, Iriga, Nabua, Bato A Year of Continuing Confrontation By: BUBBY P. DACER President, Federation of Provincial Press Clubs of the Philippines (Inaugural address delivered during the 6th Annual Dinner-Induction of the Federation of Provincial Press Clubs of the Philippines at "Bulivagang Plaridel” of the National Press Club January 27. 1968) The President of the Philippines, Ferdinand E. Marcos, in his inaugural address on his induction two years ago this month, called upon the people to make this nation-the Filipino nationgreat again. There was no pretention in that call-there was only a quick sense of history and tradition, an awareness of a degeneration in national morality, a sharp appraisal of the weakening of national strength and enterprise, and a continuing faith in the. tremendous potential of the Filipino for great accomplishments. The last two years have witnessed an administration quick to respond to needed reforms in national policy and passionate in its desire for accomplishments. Anxious to test the response of the people to its programs, this administration, in the off-year elections just past, fielded its candidates on the single and all embracing issue of performance. Now, it seems obvious, that the administration is proceeding in the right direction. The mandate of the Filipino electorate was overwhelming, by electing to the senate all but one Liberal party candidate. The naked fact, however, is ungainly. Two years after the Marcos administration, the Filipino nation is no where on its way to becoming great again. In the cities, employment is scarce and crime is on the increase. In the countrysides, the exodus of manpower is unchecked, the people remain poor, and conditions remain feudal. There is here a broad gap that needs to be bridged. For even as so much in accomplishment is credited to the Marcos administration, so little is felt in (Continued on page 4) Rev.

S. Vessels MANILA—The capability of the Philippine Navy has been greatly increased with the recent acquisition of six vessels from the U.S. Government. The six vessels are the U.S. Navy minesweeper frigate RPS Quezon, the Coast Guard Tender RPS Limisawa and four patrol craft fast baats Nos. 3Q6, 307, 308 and 309. President Marcos accepted the vessels from U.S. Charge d’Affaires James M. Wilson, Jr, during turnover ceremonies at the Philippine Navy headquarters.

U.S. Official Cites Filipinos’ Role in Nation - Building MANILA—The problem of building the Philippines of the future must fundamentally be solved by Filipinos: by Philippine money, Philippine workers and Philippine skills, according to William E. Knight, Counselor of Embassy for Economic Affairs, American Embassy. In a speech before government officals in Mati, Davao, Mr. Knight said “we believe that a strong, healthy and growing Philippines can play an important role in showing ho-.v democratic government and economic progress can go forward together.” Mr. Knight added that there has been no very snbstantial movement of new American investment to the Philippines for many years and that U.S. businessmen have their doubts about entrusting their capital to ventures in the Philippines. American businessmen, he said, are uncertain as to what their position here would be if they were to come. Being uncertain, he said, most of American businessmen are not plunging but are following a wait-and-see attitude. As a percentage of total U.S. private investment overseas, what is coming here is almost invisible. It is only a fraction of one per cent of total American investment overseas, he said. Mr. Knight added: "Whether this situation is to change will depend on the conclusions that these investors reach as to whether their investments are really wanted ...

Balftrmoso FROM THE HILLTOP Libre'ng Pilipino (3) On the week-end I was on may hilltop retreat busily temporizing on the many aspects of the Cosmos - this orderly habitation where reside our troubled planet, the earth. I was thinking of the 'competitive’ space conquests that lie two super powers of the world, the. United States and Russia are trying to outdo each other in the field of technology. Then my mind recedes to the 'gravitational’ impact of man-made errors to erode the progress of "free society.” I have in mind the ‘whims and caprices' of man in order to protrude an image of self-serving personal power to satisfy his egoestic tendencies. This brings me to the conclusion that the slow-pace of progress that 'flusociety” was able to muster across the ages as it is now obtaining among the emerging nations in South Vietnam, South Korea and elsewhere are being threatened to extinction by communist expansionism and subversion. The case of the U. S. intelligencegathering Pueblo off the coast of Wonsan might have triggered a global powder-keg if our big brothers the Americans do not ‘ play it cool.” But this communist monstrosity which is playing havoc on the face of Asia is a matter of consideration in my book-length commentaries "The American Responsibility to the Free World,” which will be off this column soon on its 20th series. What is disturbing my peace of mind now is the Libre’ng Pilipino concept - the better it is to be understood that it is titilated by economic inconsistencies and handicaps. That is why modestly aside - this writer is on the aggregate suoport of the President’s tax measures and proposal now under considerations in this year’s congress. The reality of this policy the libreng Pilipino is yet on the sunrise stage of a new dawn someday. For this duration the Filipino nation is therefore confronted with attitudes of our people to be humstrung with "factional” tendencies sometimes intended to sabotage *nd therefore undermine the noble objectives of our leaders on the move. This tendency presuppose a speculative drama violent in its nature which in the long run may be identical if not parallel in proportion to the tragedy of William Shakespeare or George Bernard Shaw’s monumental opus "Julius Caesar.” Writhing in pain and falling from 'dagger-thrusts Caesar recognized his friend and uttered "El.tu Brutus!” In my Libre’ng Pilipino series I started by saying that Mayor Tony Villegas appropriated T10 M for his ‘free’ water for bona fide Manilans as a bold attempt to introduce the first phase of his welfare program which is a breakthrough in this direction. His "free” university, his medicare program in the schools is a boon to all Manilans. Although his free funeral does not sound good at all when in all candor the general trend in Manila the teachers art not even paid on lime and while we should speak of Pilipino Libre - how about the problems of internal security for the City of Manila? The upsurge of crime, the existence of teen-age hooliganism, and gangland elements, of ex-convicts riding high for hire and how this malady is affecting the suburbs and the entire country should really prod the President to effect and implement remedial measures to contain the crime wave in our midst. While we should further speak of Pilipino Libre - there should be cause for alarm that members of our Provincial Board seem to be flexing their muscles as a gesture of open defiance to the Chief Executive of the province - the Governor. This we may have to surmise that ’factionalism’ is flaringup and unity which has become a semblance of reality during the last polls in so far as harmony is concerned - for the ruling Nacionalista Party in this province - recent events transpiring should warn deposters that all is not well that does end quite well. We - the fence-sitters are watching with interest if ’war’ should erupt anew as a ’crack in the wall’ - a reminiscence of the divisive tendencies of the NP during the last eight years.
