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)
