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.

DANR Accomplishments Significant strides in rice and corn production, fishery development, cattle dispersal, forestry conservation and hiked production of sugar, were reported to President Marcos as among the major accomplishments of the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The report was submitted by 3 ice President Fernando Lopez who also cited that the DANR has chalked up a record output of land patents issued during the past year, totalling more than 70,000. Topping all the activities of the department, the report indicated, was the breakthrough in agricultural development which saw, for the first time in years, a stabilized price of rice, the prime staple, even during the lean monthts that preceded the harvest season. The DANR report said further that the President’s directive to consolidate timber licences into working units or areas not less than 20,000 hectares and with an annual allowable cut of not less than 25,000 cubic meters has been fully implemented. This has enabled, the report said, the nation’s forestry industry' to become the second major source of foreign exchange, in NOTICES® LEGAL NOTICE Pursuant to Section 1, Rule 74 of the Rules of Court notice is hereby given that the Heirs of the late Spouses Maria Ibarbia who died on April 7, 1942 and Francisco Saez who died on July 31, 1932, respectively, in Buhi, Cam.

It is this realization that precipitates the truism in the saying that national progress and greatness is a business of both the government and the people acting in purposeful and productive partnership. The government, by itself alone, unless it becomes dictatorial and all-powerful, can never hope to make the Filipino great again. It can never hope to put in every Filipino home enough food, adequate clothing, and better shelter, it will take the people to fulfill its full burden or responsibility in the national enterprise to accomplish growth and greatness This observation may appear old and trite, but it remains true nevertheless. In the bridging of the gap ihat suttains lethargy and stagnation in almost all phases of Philippine life, the Fe.leia ion of Provincial Press Clubs of the Philippines humbly believes it has little but * 1 2 3 4 5 substancial efforts to contribute. This contribution can proceed from the following spheres of action: . terms of logs and lumber exports. To achieve future conservation of forest resources, the DANR has also established reforestation projects and plantations covering 139,273 hectares, with 292 million trees of different varieties. Among the other achievements listed by the DANR: 1. Dispersal of 389 animals and increase by 15 per cent in the breeding services. 2. Increase in sugar output, enabling the country to meet all foreign commitments. 3. Restocking of inland waters with 1.6 million fish seeds, promoting increased fishond production and further curbs against illegal fishing, resulting in a ten per cent increase over the previous year’s fish production. 4. Distribution of 1.2 tons of vegetable seeds and 18,256 pieces of different planting materials; research on varietal improvement and production technology. 5. Complete soil fertility surveys—a record performance in soil analysis with 53,321 soil samples. First, preservation, promotion and protection of press freedom ’ in the countrysides; Second, full utilization of the media at its command for information and instruction on social, economic, political and cultural growth; and, Third, revitalization and redirection of its civic action arm ’ to programs of rural community development. The spirit and dedication behind such programs lie enshrined in the Federation’s rallying cry, and I quote - One Heart, One Provincial Philippines - unquote. It should be auspicious at this point to state that the Federation of Provincial Press Clubs of the Philippines is a duly registered civic corporation. It is not merely a social club which provides a hall to its members for socialization. It is committed to work for the welfare of its members, socially, economically and culturally. Because of its ordained objectives and the difference of the ends it seeks from purely social clubs, its endeavors have been grossly misconstrued by certain well-meaning quarters in the Fourth State. This misconception, born of misinformation, has led these quarters' not only to condemn but also to wage a direct compaign against the Federation of Provincial Press Clubs of the Philippines. The vitriol and the vehemence of the anti-FPPC campaign have led certain elements of these quarters to label the Federation as a lackey of the Marcos administration. The campaign has become so quietly enraged beyond proportion and propriety that even legitimate news on the activities of the Federation are denied space in major national newspapers. We entertain no enmity nor hatred against those, who find joy in warring against the Federation of Provincial Press Clubs of the Philippines. We feel that we have a responsibility to fulfill, a big one^ not only to newspapermen and radio commentators in the provinces who are members of the Federation but also to the rural communities. We cannot afford to allow anything or anybody - even certain quarters in the Fourth State itself - to deter or stop us from the fulfillment of that responsibility, however hum-, ble shall be the measure of the success of our efforts. Accordingly, we here and now state categorically that we shall Senator Padilla Slaps Bitter Attacks Against Marcos’ Administration Senate minority Leader An brosio Padilla recent y charged President Marcos with deceiving the people on his claim of fiscal restraint and of operating under a balanced budjet. Senator Padilla stated that the Marcos administration was spend - ing more its income, contrary to the President’s claims. The LP senator pointed that barely six months after the fiscal year, the administration had drawn already P212 million out of its P240 million credit line with the Central Bank, In. addition, he asserted, the administration had borrowed from' the private sector a total of P480 million in the form of bonds and . and other securities guaranteed by the government. Padilla said that during the year 1967, the administration operated with deficits in January, March, June, September,October, and November. The biggest cash deficit took place in September October and November, when the cash deficits were P104.8 million, P99.9 million, respectively. “This conclusively shows,” Se nator Padilla emphasized, “that government spending is based more on political rather than social and economic considerations for the biggest ^deficits were incurred during an election season,” ' Senator Padilla also criticized the heavy borrowings undertaken by the administration. . He pointed out that the overall publ C debt reach an alltime high of P.3..7 billion' as of June 30, 1967, compared to the previous year’s level of only P2.9 billion. This is an increase of more than P800 million or continue to appropriate the help extended to us by any administration now or in the future, and that for every good thing that this administration contributes not only for the welfare of the provincial press but also for the rural communities, shall receive from us commensurate recognition and praise. We shall use no less than 165 provincial newspapers. a hundred or more provincial radio stations, and all other media at our command to make the people .in the countrysides know such help has been extended and encourage them to appreciate it properly. Continuing We hold that on the part of our people in rural areas, the way to greatness and affluence is a continuing' confrontation of the people with their weakenesses, their potential, and their heritage. Toward this end, we mean to vse all the media at our ebmand: the press, the radio, platforms, rnd pamphlets. For the people must be told the truth no matter how bitter a pill the truth may be. The people in the countrysides especially, must be provided ideas' and cources of action, when and where knowledgeability and imagination fail them. For they must be able to make the land yield more, to make abundant raw materials into marketable products, to learn the rudimentary nearly a billion, pesos in a year, Padilla pointed out. The Liberal senator leader declared that the administration’s dependence on borrowing would impose heavy burdens upon the taxpayers, because aside from paying for the ordinary expenditures of government, they would also be paying interest rates for such borrowings. . Moreoyer, he declared, the government’s program of entering the security market in competition with the private sector was siphoning money away from ' private agencies at a time of tight credit, and channelling them to government which has shown irresponsibility in its expenditures. Senator Padilla said that the irresponsible and conflicting fiscal and monetary policies °of the administration were causing hardships on the economy, particularly the common people who suffer from continually . i ing pcs. Senator Padilla also deplored the "coddling” by the administration of the. army by increasing its budget at the sacrifice of social welfare expenditures. He pointed out that in fiscal year 1967, expenditures for the Armed Forces rose from P323.9 million to P378.O million or by 16.9 per cent, while grvernment expenditures for ' social development, education, public health ® and medical care declined. "This proves that the administration has no heart for the common man,” Senator Padilla declared. “The State of the Nation Address” is part of the intensified false propaganda of the Marcos administration, Senator Padilla concluded. knowledge o f management and marketing, in order for them to open virtually unlimited opportunities for gainful e n-( ploymerit in their respective communities, to increase personal income, and to hold barrio manpower within the barrio as much as possible. It is our hope that through this program of continuing confrontation, we can contribute substantially in getting the barrio to move forward and creating prosperous communities in the countrysides. In the process of this continuing confrontation, we shall lay down the following truths or facts; First, the government cannot give every citizen employment; Second, the citizen must stop once and for all depending on the government for aid and an opportunity for permanent employment; Third, he must stop looking toward his Congressman or Governor for doles and patronageFourth, his Congressman or Governor can neither help him directly to acquire his basic needs of food, clothing and shelter; (Continued on page 6) 6 ★ ★ THE BICOL STAR * February 10, 1%8 A Year of. ♦ .

In order to give teeth to this program of continuing confrontation, the Federation of Provincial Presss Clubs of the Pnilippines has formulated its “Return to the Barrio Movement.” The RBM We hold that prosperous rural communities are the best guarantees to the preservation and protection of freedom of the press in the countrysides, expansion of the newspaper publication and radio operation enterprises, and securing for the newspaperman and radio commentator in the provinces self-respect, integrity and a decent standard of living. The “Return to the Barrio Movement”, therefore, will endeavor to contribute all its efforts to the realization of the following: First, prosperity in the rural communities, Second, checking of the exodus of barrio manpower. and, Third, attracting rural manpower now under stress in urban communities to return to the barrio. The RBM is big and ambitious. It requires tremendous informed, knowledgeable, and effective activities in organization and communication. We say here and now that we make no claims we can go it alone. On the other hand we trust that the merit and desirability of the movement will attract unqualified support from so inclined and like-minded organizations or associations, like the Rotary, Jaycees, Lions, and Chambers o f Commerce and Industry. We know the magnitude of RBM, and we feel humble before it. But our determination proceed with it and our dedication to the work it demands are as big and decided. It is this spirit and will, that give us courage and strength. Aggiornamto , . . (Continued from page 2) It is salutary, we hope, to be reminded about it in print. “I am a Negirian student enrolled in one of the colleges here. Since my arrival in this Christian country I have been observing the unchristian behavior or discriminatory acts of some bus conductresses. . .” thus did a foreign student write to a metropolitan daily not so long ago. She gave the go-signal just when he was about to board the bus. And when he fell, some of the students at the bus stop laughed at him. Invited to give a talk on Nigeria at PNC, he wa3 greeted by shouts of "Negro, black is black’’ on the campus. His national costume was derided as a pair of "pajamas” when he was requested to wear it for a drama. He writes too of a Liberian student who flagged down a taxi only to be refused afthe last moment. This is not the first time foreign students have complained about such acts. There was the case-remember-of an African who was beaten up (nakursunadahan daiv) by hoodlums and then when brought to the hospital received, instead of sympathy, some nasty remarks from a Pinay nurse. Some of these unhappy instances we may perhaps attribute to that peculiar Filipino propensity to poke fun at and find humor in what he considers another person’s oddities. In due time perhaps our foreign students may come to understand this childish trait (grown-ups are expected to be more discreet) and even give tit for tat. I refer to the laughter of the students at the bus stop and the shouts in the campus. The other instances are downright inexplicable. Uncharitable! * THERE are many evils which face the Philippines, but perhaps it is no exaggeration to say that politics is the root evil. The socio-economic situation, law and order, education, business are all insoluble problems because the government seeks not the common good but particular good, and because the citizens elect that kind of government.” Many, if not all of us, will agree with the truths of this observation. For me the most pathetic and tragic is the truth of the last line, Citizens have the government they deserve. The tools for organization and communication are at our command. Some of them cost money, most of them are free. We trust that s o c i a 1 conscience among the well-endowed among our people, for whom prosperity in the barrio is a guarantee for peace and freedom, will not hesitate to extend to us their affluent arms to assist in the realization of our goals. All these are the ends to which the Federation of Provincial Press Clubs of the Philippines will address its efforts. It bears no partiality for any person, party, institution or creed. It only s e e k s to help bridge the gap that until now divide the Filipino nation from a greatness that it is being called upon to realize once more. We invite all of you t o pitch in, to join us in our cry: “One Heart, One Provincial Philippines.”
