AGDAMAG, Vice.-Presiclent ---0·--The second meeting of the CONSTABULARY OFFICERS' CLUB was held in Manila Garrison on June 17, 1933. IJhere were approximately 60 Cons• tabulary officers of Manila and neighboring provinces wl:o attended this second reunion of the ''Khaki and Red" men and ·,a few from the District of Mindanao, Visayas and Northern Luzon. Among the ranking officers w1 ho graced the o~casion were General C. H. Bowers, Lieut. Colonel Benito D. Valeriano and Lieut. Colonel Juan C. Quimbo. The most important business transacted during this Officers' get-together was the adoption o£ the Constitution and By-Laws of the Club. Ti1e Constitution and By-Laws was finally approved and ,1dopted after several amendments • were introduced. One of those who sponsored an amendmcnL increasing the initial and monthly fee3 of the member:a hails from the Bicol region. He is no less than the fiery and eloquent speaker, Captain Zacarias lm)::erial, who, like "Gastelar" delivered a forceful and appealing oration in Spanis\ which finally won the heart and soul of everybody present. His amendment was most logically a pproved with overwhelming votes when submitted to votation. The next business of importance was 'Che cle.ction of th officers of the club. The result was as follows : ·, P1·esident, Major IT\elesforo Martinez, Adjutant, P. C. Vice-P1·es1'dent, Major J. V. Agdamag, Assistl\1.~~jor TEL.l1SFORO l\IARTJ:'\EZ PRESlDE!'\T 111aior JOSE V.
