This permanent and independent office shall be clothed with the powers to investigate, criticize publicly, and recommend remedies for the faults of the bureaucracy. Senator Roxas explained that today only the grossest instances of mismanagement are accorded enough remedy and cognizance. “Sufficient attention and correction are seldom given to the many serious, if undramatic, instances of injustice to individuals, injury to public interest, and plain and simple inefficiency imputable to the various administrative sectors of the government.” Roxas said. Blame for this he stated “lies on the inordinately political” orientation of most of our administraSenator Roxas tive reforms that are generally geared towards the sensational and the big scandals in the government.” “ The less sensational but very r<?al difficulties that are everyday inflicted on the common tao by the inefficient, arbitrary and the outright unscrupulousness of the (Continued on page 8) nerai manager ot tne rmiippine National Railways, announced recently the introduction of a new motor train service between Manila and Naga City effective March 1, 1968.

Some 4,000 persons in the Juban-Irosin valley are said to be afflicted with this debilitating disease. Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitic disease caused by a blood worm (schistosoma Japonicum) transmitted by certain type of aquatic snails. The disease affects not only human beings but also domestic animals such as pigs, dogs, carabaos and cattle. i In the Philippines the intermediate host of the disease is (Continued on page 6-A) Abaca World Market Increased A floor price for abaca fibers in the world market that would result in the general increase of the per capita income by our local producers was approved in the recently concluded international conference on hard fibers in Rome, it was announced by Dr. Estelito M. Madrid, Chairman-General Manager of the Abaca Corporation of the Philippines. modity is increased by 2.5 to 3.5 cents per pound of the raw fibers or an average increase of from P28 to P35 'per bale over the current price to be implemented gradually. Dr. Madrid said that the increase of abaca floor price was the vital point of the position paper he submitted to the delegation left for Rome. The mission, Dr. Madrid added, was a great success because an increase of at least $5 per bale would mean an increase of $35 million earning in foreign exchange for the country considering that our annual average abaca export is around 700,000 bales. Madrid, who arrived from Rome recently was one of the Philippine delegates to the crucial meet that presages the upward swing of our heretofore dwindling abaca industry. As approved, the recommended indicative price of the comIn his discussion with abaca end-users and industrialists in continental. Europe, America and Japan, Madrid observed that: 1. The inroad of synthetic fibers in the manufacture of cordage poses a great threat to the survival of the abaca industry. The fall in demand for hard' fibers and corresponding drop in price is traceable to the increasing use of synthetics; 2. Rope manufacturers would prefer synthetics to abaca the moment its production cost is lowered. However, since the cost to produce synthetics for the present is three times as (.Continued on page 6 A) 4-H Club Prov’l.

(Continued from page 1) bureaucracy remain unattended and unremedied,” Senator Roxas declared. In explaining the measure, Senator Roxas declared that since in a democracy the bureaucracy exists for the citizens, his rights and interests are both ensuied and enhanced when bureacratic weaknesses are brought to official and public notice through the instrumentality of a truly independent and competent investigator with sufficient access to relevant and vital information. The Office of the Citizen’s Counsel, which is patterned after the Office of Ombudsman in Scandinavian states, shall have jurisdiction to investigate on a complaint by any person or on his own motion, any administrative act of a government agency when he has reasons to believe that such act may.be (a) unjust, unreasonable, oppressive or improperly descriminatory even through in accordance with law; (b) under a mistake of law or fact, partly or wholly; (c) without adequate statement of reasons; (d) based on grounds that are improper or irrelevant; (e) done inefficiently; (f) in conflict with law; or (g) otherwise erroneous. “Similarities can be seen between the office herein proposed and the offices created in the past under the Office of the President through executive orders but unlike the latter previous offices, the Office of the Citizen’s Counsel shall be a permanent and independent office that will not be under the Office of the President nor of any other office,” Senator Roxas emphasized. He added that the experiences of the Integrity Board of President Quirino, the PCAC of President Magsaysay, the PCAPE of President Garcia, and the PAGCOM of President Maoapagal, offices which were created by their respective administrations and later abolished, shows that insulation from politics is basic to the efficient and effective performance of these various government agencies. In sponsoring the measure, Senator Roxas stated: “Two considerations, at least, stress the great need for the Office which this bill seeks to create. The more evident of these is, of course, the very prevalent problem of graft in the government. The stench of immorality blights many parts of the governmental structure. Covetous b u r e a ucrats continue to deprive the citizen of the kind of government service he needs and deserves. “The other consideration goes even deeper than the problem of graft. It arises from the greatly involvement of the affairs of the citizens. “Today, administrative agencies, because of the vastly expanded demand for government services, have grown in number, powers and functions. Set against this growth of the bureaucracy, the exisGene E. Balfertnoso FROM THE HILLTOP Libre’ng Filipino (5) "So live that you can look a man straight in the eye.”— Pres. Elpidio Quirino. Editor's Note: — The Librc’ng Pilipino is a picture of the contemporary local scenery and life, transcending social change and idealism of the past Io the present. From time to time under the series will be presented tidbit biographies of government and private, executives, professionals os well as laymen who one way or another contribute to the uplift of the Pilipino environment. The Irony of Our Heritage — Three hundred years of dominant Spanish rule and half century of American tutelage in the field of education and the art of self-government did accomplish the desired two objectives, namely, from the Spaniards — the rich religious endowment and its fatal fanaticism ingrained in the Pilipino soul and from the Americans — our flare of the English language and our taste for foreign standards. The jeans, the minis and what will it be next? You may have it coming, the topless? Of course those night clubs have all these darn bellicose unusual circumstances going all along. And the movies — the uncensored striptease and burlesque is a usual fantastic delight. And then the hippies — a year ago I was getting the run of stories about college students whose thirst for the 'unkown’ - the mitigating facts to discover Darwin’s "Theory of Evolution." I was jolted into believing that the w'.stern “transplants” have made unlimited joy rides’ into the vast scheme of things. We are approaching the saturation point wherein desultory antics and crime upsurge -have join hands to forsake our independence to inter dependence. Year, year and vear-oul - our hard-boiled politicians have turned to Uncle Sam - the perennial Santa Claus all the year thru to dole out to friends and satellites from mechanized civil action paraphernalia and all about other problems in commerce, trade, the military from internal to regional security and the chaf of worldly economics. For the daring to outdo the classical performance of greatness - we are confronted with the most serious imbalance in our political career. There is really the alternative to slave off disenchantment an the part of the populace to reconcile the 'performance issue’ with the desired practical results. This is now our greatest worry. A few more years and three is a long time, our Asian big neighbor - Communist China will have developed its nuclear capability and for sure a nuclear blackmail will follow. There are signs that our "brand of nationalism" will really come to clash with ‘‘American isolationism.” In an American pull out to a safe perimeter, will leave the Pilipino the master of his own idiosyncracy and of his land of a thousand islands. 4-H Club Provincial .; show which will be participated by selected 4-H Club members representing the 200 clubs throughout the six provinces with a total membership of 6,451 in and out-of school youth with age ranging from 12 to 21 ting checks available to the citizen against bureacratic abuse and error show certain inadequacies. “Only a handful of cases of maladminis t r a t i o n could well be investigated by Congress; indeed. Congress could not attend to more of such investigatory work without impairing its essential function of legislation. Redress through the press is itself reserved usually for the more serious bureaucratic misbehavior.” (Continued from page 7) years old.
