extracted text: October, 1937 GUARD 9 WILL SOON BE AS POSSIBLE September 27, 1937 is me morable in the province of Cebu when the first military parade was successfully held. The rally was participated by Reserve Officers of the Train ing Corp3 of the Visayan institute, Junior College, Southern Institute and San Carlos College. The significant military parade was attended by about 1,000 cadets of the colleges in the second city of the Phil ippines. And due to the abled leadership of Commandants Alejandre, Calderon, Flores and Javelosa, the expected at tendance was realized. When the time fixed for assemblage was due, all the cadets were well posted in the Plaza Independencia. From here the military parade started passing on the Morga, Mabini, Magallanes, Juan Lu na and Jones Avenue streets down to the Normal Ground where the review was held. The reviewing officers were composed of Hon. Paul Güilas, Dean Julio Pongan, Engineer Jereza, Rev. Fr. A. Dingman and Col. Guy Fort. These officers were accompanied by the beautiful sponsors of the different R.O.T.C. save the San Carlos College’s which has none for reason that the college has no lady students. Perhaps due to the fact that the rally was first of its kind, people flocked in the streets where the future officers of our army passed. In the Normal Ground where the review was held, about 10,000 people witnessed the all-soldiery-m ovement of Cebu’s prospective Reserve Officers. The successful per formance of the embryo of ficers can partly be attributed to the inspiring music played by the famous Philippine Army Band. It is expected by the school authorities and as well as the public that the next R.O.T.C. rally which will be held some times next year, will be more successful for that will be the second year of their (ROTC) existence except the Junior College’s. According to Assemblyman Vicente Rama, author of Cebu charter, the special law for Cebu City will he amended. He has already the tentative plan of the future amendment of the law. With the present law for, Cebn City, the people residing in this locality will be allowed to vote for the provincial can didates. This part according to the author will be amended. The city risedents will not be allowed to elect the provincial candidates for reason that the city having a special law is not categorically speaking a part of the province of Cebu. The Cebu City as it ought to be treated a separate pro vince. Until now the municipal board of Cebu City is sending its resolutions aud ordinances to the provincial board of Cebu. Again this part of the law is somewhat rediculous for the municipal board of Cebu City is supposed to send all its resolut ons and ordi nances to the department of interior for approval or disap proval. When Assemblyman Rama of the fourth district of Cebu was asked with regard to the possibility of the amendment, he said, that the said amend ment will have an easy sailing for there are only two As semblymen for political reason, who are against the complete separation of Cebu City from the province of Cebu. So in some future election, it is expected that Cebu City residents will be allowed only to vote for the members of municipal baord and the natio nal candidates and that the said municipal board should not send anymore its resolu tions and ordinances to the provincial board, but it should be sent direct to the depart ment of interior.
