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.

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. In presenting the ships, Mr. Wilson Said the vessels "are being turnfed over as part of a longterm program for assisting in the anti-smuggling campaign.

Felix A. Fuentebella (N-2nd District, Camarines Sur). The amount released is covered by the Pork Barrel of Rep. Fuentebella and under the Republic Acts 1200, 1411, 1000 and 4854. Rep. Fuentebella made representations for the release of the PW funds. The Second District Solon said Baltazar Aquino of the Bureau of Highways, in a telegram dated January 24th, has directed Camarines Sur Highway Engineer Jaime Sarte and Supervising Engineer Santiago Maralit to proceed with these administration projects as soon as poss’ble.

Local legislative bodies such as the municipal Board of Naga City and our own provincial Board are good training grounds far future Congressmen. Congressional talent scouts for both the NP and LP can now start the hunt preparatory for the 1969 elections. There’s no doubt about the presence of good congressional materials in the municipal Board of Naga City, although they have yet to go along way to convince the electorate of their maturity and fitness for a congressional seat. ★ ★ Mr In the provincial Board however, there’s the independent-minded Vice Governor, who is proving to be a meticulous fiscalizer. B/Member Tible has the cool and sober attitude to all legislative problems; while B/Member Orifio has the facility in speech as well as aggressiveness. B/Member Abonal has the experience, maturity, and broadmindedness in the approach to various problems confronting the Ecctd. In a "nutshell”, the present provincial Board is composed of good congressional materials who could be easily harnessed immediately for a real legislative job in Congress, come 1969. ★ ★ Speaking of congressional materials, provincial Secretary Veluz could not just be disregarded. As a matter of fact one of those I have mentioned above doesn’t seem to like Veriong’s face, possibly because of his being a potential rival for nomination in ’69. That’s just it, you know. ♦ ¥ Presently, the appointment or designation of Engr. Jimmy Sarte as Ex-Officio Provincial Engineer is quit* in order. Between now, and the end (June 39) of the current fiscal year, however, the P/Board should be able to decide whether or not it would be advantageous for the province, to hale its own provincial Engineer. ★ ★ The United Bicol War Veterans Association will have its 5th annual regional convention in Daet, C. Norte on March 30th. That’s going to be a grand affair for all veterans all over the Bicol area. Pres. Marcos and other top brass, including the Bicol provincial Governors and City Mayors are expected to attend. * * Up to now, I still don’t understand why Malacafiang insists on running the police force of Manila, the implementation of RA 5185 (Decentralization Act) not withstanding. The more it is intriguing to think why Gen. Ricardo Papa insists on holding-on to his position as Chief of Police of Manila inspite of his being a persona non-grata to the City Mayor. Other self-respecting military officers would have long requested for relief or tendered their resignations at the first sign of loss of confidence by their immediate superior. ★ Mr The mistake however of Gen. Ricardo Papa in acting as if he were still the Chief of the P hilippine Constabulary who is responsible only to the President, doesn t make right the acts of Mayor Villegas in interfering with the detailed matters of police administration - to usurp in effect the powers and resposibilities of the Chief of Police.

The transport ship is expected. to assist significantly in the Philippine Navy’s splendid work of providing support for your government’s civic action program?..” President Marcos said in his acceptance speech that "the six vessels will partly alleviate the need of the Navy and Coast Guard for patrol and transport vessels to take care of our interr hal security and developinent;” We bitterly protest, Mr, Aytona Somewhere ih the middle part of 1965, when the Executive Committee of the Nacionalista Party convened in Mapila to select the eight (8) senatorial candidates for the election of that pear, one had to be necessarily included to represent the Bicol Region. There were several Bicolano aspirants from whom to choose and one of them is the present Senator Domihador Aytona. Being the weakest of all the Bicolano aspirants, he had to have a powerful PADR1N0 to support his nomination. There was only one man for the big job and that was Ex-Ambassador Jose Fuentebella of Camarines Sur. So he persistently appealed in person and in continuous convincing correspondences why it should be him that deserves support; The Grand Old Man of Camarines finally acceded to Aytona's supplications and entreaties by likewise pleading to all the members of the Executive Committee by correspondences for their unconditional support. And the result was the election of Aytona as topnetcher of all the eight winning nominees. We all became happy beyond bounds because the emblem of the Bicol region was upheld to rise high and above all others. In consistency to this regional sentiment and affection, the peoplq of Camarines Stir gave Aytona an overwhelming majority that easily made him the senator that he now is. Bui what is Sena tor Aytona doing now for the Nacionalistas in our province in particular and for the people in general? Nothing worth writing on paper. For all. we can read in the local papers and hear from radio telecasts aiehis help for Albay. Despite the fact that for the last 60 years Albay had been receiving much bigger financial help frotn the National funds for having three Congressmeh against two only for Camarines Sur which is two times bigger in land area and in population, practically all his financial help and- attention are given to Albay. And to make his concern for us more, pungent,ly painful is when he worked hard for the appointment of a Liberal to be Judge of the CFI which is noth correctly in terpfeted to mean that, to the opinion of Aytona, no Nacionalista iatvyer of Camarines Sur is qualified for that position. We don’t only protest, Mr. Aytona, against your disregard for us but also for messing up things of party and public interest in our province. This is because we know that despite the fact that Cledera was already officially proclaimed by the NP Junta for governor on September 8; 1967, you supported Felix Fuentebella in his maneuvers to have the official proclamation of Cledera annulled. The people of Camarines Sur only trust a leadership that symbolizes justice. In a leadership where partiality is imbued, hatred takes the place of loyalty. Is Aytona a leader or not, when he contradicted the correct and justifiable support for Cledera of the Grand Old Man who was most instrumental in making him a Senator? respected leaders in their chosen fields Of endeavor. Among the legion of its prominent alumni, to mention A few, are: Ex-Sec; of Finance Jaime Hernandez, Sr?, Ex-Secretary of Education Celedonio Salvador, Sen. Tecla San Andres Ziga, Ex-Sen. Edmundo B. Cea, preseritly Director, Bicol Development Co., Representative Felix Fuentebella of the 2nd District of Cafnarines ,Sur, ExRep. Juan F. Trivino, Director of the Philippine 'National Bank, Dr. Wilberto Clavecilla, Chief of Police Tomas Karingal ’ of Quezon City and a host of others. The attached bill seeks to convert the Camarines Sur Provincial High School into a national high school to ,, be known as the “Catharines Sur National High School”, just like many other riational high schools in other provinces, to enable said institution to expand its services and improve its instruction and thereby accomplish its aims of providing a high standard but inexpensive education to a greater number of deserving but poof students of the Bicol region. At present, the same is supported, exclusively by the Province of Camarines Sur which has to charge relatively high tuition and matriculation fees due to lack of funds. This measure also seeks to authorize appropriation of funds partial review Ay Andreis G. Diez Test for Ateneo . . ♦ ruary 22, 1968. No other credentials are required.
