JR___________ We came across the other day with the 1938 budget of the City of Cebu. As was previo isly out in this column the budget for the year 1937 carried with it the item as follows: “For representation purpose o f the Mayor’ or something like thit When that very budget was brought to the board for discission, Member Cañizares opposed the item as it was vague and so on and so on. The 1938 budget rather specifies the allowances discretionary t o the Mayor’s. The point at issue is not the vagueness of the 1938 budget but the city administration has learned something that a budget should be prepared in a man ner that the items for the fiscal year should be specific and should state the nature of the expenditure. Well, we have something to to be thankful for Member D. Cañizares for imparting into the coco of the city ad ministration something about budget preparation. WE REMEMBER HIM BY Communism...

This tendency is even discerned in little tots who more of ten than not scrape one anot her for the possession of a doll, a candy or what not. It is my firm belief, how ever, that Communism, as a social and political menace, is not an empty word. It is coming, if it is not al ready around the corner. At least the communistic ideal is cherished by many people, specially by the laboring classes. The reason of such state of things is that, due to to the great facilities of the popular masses for education thru public schools and the newspapers, the workingmen of today is not like the work ingmen of yesteryear, who was resigned to his sad lot in the hope of an everlasting happiness in the life here after. The modern workingman is wary enough to contend that if he owns a share in the fun of life, he would not necessarily forfeit the celestial beautitude that would be due him as reward of a righteous conduct on earth. On the other hand, there are also workingmen who do not seem to care a whoop about «spiritual things being only concerned with higher wages and more human treat ment from their employees. He nee, the modern working- I men either of the one sort or the other makes it a point to assert his persona lity as an indispenBible factor that needs be reckoned with in the development of induetry. With this frame of mind the workingman is an eas.5 prey to subversive propagan-i da. Inasmuch as printed mat ters or literature which pub in bold relief the deplorable conditions of the laboring classes depecting them ai squalor poverty in contrast to the sumptuous living of the rich, finds its way into1 the hands of the workingman through mysterious channels and supposedly coming from the Third International, the workingman feels ill at ease, hence consciously or quite The Author unconsciously grows di tent.

I L I AY If the Philippine national defense forces are ever called out to repel an invading army, the ‘‘tittle man” will not find himsetf alone to bear the brunt of the fighting. Side by side with him will fight sons of some Big Shots as well, for in the ranks of the Philippine ar my are to be found the scions of not a few wealthy families and sons or relatives of men high in the councils of the commonwealth government. Needless to say, these young men are making financi <1 sacrifices by devoting their time to a military career, when they could hold down important positions in private concerns or in the government. A few such cases might be mentioned: Lt. Isidro Para des, son of Resident Commis sioner Quintín Parades, spurn ed the idea of getting a soft job through the influence of his father and joined the army early last year. With degrees in mechanical engineering and in business administration from reputable schools in the United States young Paredes could easily have landed a job more remunerative and less exacting than a lieutenancy in the Philippine army, Instead, he got a commission as third lieutenant in the aviation arm of the service, and is now attending an army aviation school in the United States. Another son of a Big Gun who is doing his in the army is Lt. Sensen Gabaldon, only son of Don Isauro Gabaldon, ex resident commissioner and erstwhile Big Bertha of the opposition in Philippine poli tics. Lt. Gabaldon is cadre commander of the third Tarlac cadre in San Miguel, Tarlac. His mother septuagena rian and his father well along in years, young Gabaldon faced the responsibility of looking after his family’s landholdings in Nueva Ecija. But this did not stop him from doing his bit in building a citizen army for the Philip pines. Lt. Gabaldon, who is 34 years old but looks much younger, applied for enrolment in the Baguio Reserve Offi cers school, in which a college education is a primary require ment. He' was commissioned first lieutenant upon his grad uation last December and im mediately detailed cadre com mander. Lt. Gabaldon is also a lawyer, having passed the bar in 1927. He obtained bis college education in the United States. Then there is the case of Lt. Jesus A. Villamor, son of late Associate Justice Ignacio Vil lamor of the Philippine sup reme court. His father had planned a business career for him but the young man had his own ideas about his future. Shortly after the death of his father four years ago he took up the flying with the Philip pine aerial taxi company. But his flying training did not take a serious turn until he went to Dallas, Texas, about the middle of 1934. He enrolled at the Dallas Aviation school and air college, where he was graduated after three months with the high price of faculty. In a letter of intro duction given to Villamor, the head of the school wrote, among other things: “...he is one of the best transport stu dent pilots that we have ever had at this school.” After getting his transport pilot’s license young Villamor returned to Manila and for some time taught at the Va leriano school of aviation and then at the American Far Eas tern school of aeronautics.

The great dream of a per manently stable world, as con ceived by President Woodrow Wil?on, has been dessipated by the brutal reilism of world political and territorial developement. The league, is an instrument to prevent war and seizure of territory from weak nations by stronger ones, has failed. Diplomats made these admis* sions as they took stock of the league’s position and the end of a day making final Para guay’s withdrawal from Gene va’s councils. The little South American republic is one of eight nations to leave the league Optimists, comparing the league’s firm principles with this;? of the Roman Catholic church, predicted that it will live as a potent international factor despite its past failures All agreed that, although the longue has become politi cally impotent, it will survive as a clearing house of econo mic, cultural and sanitary in formation. Seven have served official notice of their intention to quit the league during the 17 years of its history Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicara gua, Japan, -Germany and Paragua. Italy walked out with out giving official notice and may return if she wishes. The resignations of Germany, Brazil, Japan, and Paraguay have become effective Paraguay withdrew because the eague applied an arm em bargo to it after it refused to accept Geneva’s peace propo sal in its dispute with Bolivia over the Chaco question Looking over the league’s record of successes and fail ures, statesmen counted the following: Four years ago the league assembly condemned Japan’s seizure of Manchuria. But speech making in Geneva did not holt relentless drive of the Nipponese soldiers over the plains of China’s “eastern pro vinces.” Then in 1932, the disarma:e c arroi i ment conference was convoked It failed to satisfy Germa ny’s claim for rearment and the conflicting ambitions of the “ins” and “outs” in Eu rope, and so ended in failure Later, Germany rearmed despite the Versailles treaty, of which the league is the official guardian, remilitarized the Rhine and declared sove reignity over internationa lized rivers. Geneva passed resolutions but did nothing else. 'fhe league’s next reversal come over the Chaco dispute For the first time, Geneva tried to use strong measures against the little south Ame rican countries. It applied an embargo on both nations Then, when Bolivia accepted Geneva’s peace proposal and Paraguay did not, the embargo was left to apply to Paraguay alone which caused its resignation Before the league’s next failure, several minor successes occured, whom King Alexan der of Yugoslavia accused Hungary of inspiring crimes. War became au imminent • • u e possibility. But the Leag quickly settled the dispute* At the same time a danger ous dispute arose between Germany and France over the Saar plebiscite which was to determine to which was determined to which country the rich mining back should belong The league dispelled the danger of war by sending an intarnational army to see, that the vote was just. The territory returned peacefully to Germany. Then came the league’s big gest test—the Italian invasion of Ethiopia. A boycott on war supplies was laid down on Italy, but this did not prevent it from taking Et hiopia. With its prestige at its lowest ebb in history, she refrained from mixing in the Spanish civil war. Despite these failures there are those, especially perma nent league officials, who believe that the Geneva body’s present ill health is merely temporary and that it will emerge again as a strong guardian of peace.

December, 1937 GUARD 8 The Wonders of Russia’s Military Strength Continued from last issue But if it is impossible for Hitler and Blomberg to over run the Socialist army with a “lightning blow” on the ground, may be possible^ fur Goring to do so with a light ning blow in the air! That is, in fact, the actual task of modern air strategy. If Go ring rises a few hours be fore the declaration or war from the German and “allied” airdromes, flies across the Soviet frontier during the night and hurls himself precipitately on the Russian railway stations, barracks, depots» factories, and Govern ment buildings, can be balk the Soviet mobilization! Then the object would certainly have been achieved in “another dimension.” In theory—yes, he cftn. In practice —the question is that of the relation of forces in the air, the relation between the air armies, the Air strategy, and the air tac tics of the Fascists and the Socialists. That Hitler’s air army is today growing without in terruption and on a scale hardly seen hitherto is beyond question. That with a con tinuance of this tempo it can become not the third strongest but the second strongest (for merly France) air force in Europe, is a serious possi bility. The number of Germany’s military airplanes at the be ginning of 1936 may be put circumspectly at about 1,200 first line planes and about 1,000 reserve planes. But since May the monthly production may be safely estimated at 250 first line planes, so that the beginning of this year of the German air army numbers roughly 4,000 first line planes (of which more than half are heavy bombers) and at least 3,000 in reserve. Altogether 7,000 airplanes. That is five or six times the size of the British air force at the beginning of 1936, and considerably more than France possessed at the same date. But in the meantime France has also increased her armaments. A race is on, but since the German air plane industry with its nine teen huge works is far su perior to the French, and since Goring has an nounced quite openly and almost officially that the minimum standards for Ger man armaments will be the combined strength of the two air fleets previously leading in Europe, it is thoroughly possible that the German air fleet may over take France (if it has not already done so) whether the Western Air Locarno mater ializes or not. The Fascist air army may become the second strongest in the world. But the strongest is the air army of Socialism. According to almost all in ternational experts, Soviet aviation unquestionably takes first place among all countries today. The number of their military airplanes has in creased tremendously in the last five years Their air-route system for civil traffic is comparable only to that of the U. S. A. Enthusiasm for the air has affected hundreds of thousands of ordinary workers, school boys, clerks, who learn to fly in their spare time, be cause they feel that in the new world every one must fly and will fly. Yet in the coming war it will not at first be the human “air capacity” which turns the scales, but the tech-nical, and the first de cisions will be brought by those “air fortresses”, the squadrons of heavy air-crui sers which today, aa once the armoured fleets of the sea, have assumed the domi nating role. The necessity of the mo dern strategy of surprise to provide weapons of extreme mobility and at the same time of the highest destruc tive power, capable of being directed against key-objec tives, has led to the deve lopment of a session of the airplanes fbombers) into ve ritable flying batterries of artillery, which are of such a size the most of them get through the fire of anti aircraft guns on the ground, so speedy and heavily armed that they have nothing to fear from the enemy fight ing planes, and so reliable (number of engineer, fuel ca pacity, etc ) that they can carry out the most distant;’ and prolonged raids. If squadrons like these break through to the enemy “nervecenters,” there is little or nothing still in a posi tion to stop them doing their paralyzing work. Germany is producing such machines in quantity. Russia is not standing still. The U. 8. S. K. has a good start on Germany and intends to main tain its advantage, with the help of all national reserves. As for the abilities of the pilots—how these compare is not known. The Germans were the best, but whether they are today superior to the pilots of the “Tchelyuskin class” and their pupils will not be known until the test comes. One thing is certain: in the important new sector or air tactics, the mass parac huting, mass-landing of whole infantry regiments from the air behind the enemy’s lines, the Soviet Onion so far has a sort of “monopoly”. During the Soviet maneu vers near Kiev in the au tumn of 1935, the assembled foreign generals saw how 2,500 Red soldiers landed in full on the ground from the air within forty minutes and at once went into action with their automatic rifles. But they did not see how at * the same time in another district of the Soviet Union a body of 5,700 men—equal to more than a brigade— carried out the same opera tion. And later still they learned that tens of thousands of Red soldiers have the “pa rachute jumps made among the civil population is al ready approaching the million (Continued on page 13)' 24 Nueva St. Kwong Hap Sing Manufactures The Mast Sanitary SAUSAGE & VINEGAR Ceba City, Philippines P.

DICK A Comment on the City Election Results Unless all signs fail, there is going to be something like a revolution soon in the Phili ppines-revolution in the sense of change and that is on the land. On all lands it is admitted that an intolerable situation exists. Doubtless partly res ponsible for that situation are the tenants themselves, but far more responsible are the greedy and avaricious land lords. Learning nothing and still clinging to the antiquated and oppresive practices of by gone days, they are, like the Baurbons, precipitating the deluge, digging their own graves. In the past the government, ignoring the grievances of the tenants or resorting to only spasmodic and ineffectual ef forts at reform, usually ac companied by beautiful» rain bow promises, has fatously followed the policy of protec ting the landlords and confir ming them in their abuses The gun, of the constabuhry which with more justice could have been trained on the real offenders, the rapacious land lords, were turned on their victims who dared protest against the iniquitous condi tions imposed upo i them and under which they labored. Given th se co ¡ditions, such conditions as exist 01 many fardas and hacie das today, such conditions as are depicted some articles of The Philippines Free Press, and no men worthy the name of freemen, worthy of indepen dence, but would reoel against them. Instead of being de plored, the discontent, the spirit of agrarian revolt now showing itself everywhere, should be welcomed and com mended. The mean social evolution, progress. The signs of the times are there for all who read Un fortunately, many of these archaic and benighted land lords don’t read. Did they read, they would learn what has taken place with the land in Russia, in Great Britain and Australia, in parts of Germany and Italy, and what is now being done in Mexico and in several other countries. They would, also learn of the present revolt in Spain, impelled largely by agrarian abuses. The world is moving, and, in this matter of serfdom and land ownership, is mov ing fast Nor is the Philip pines an exception The te nant mass is beginning to awaken to a realization of its exploitation and its bon dage, and has already shown a disposition to effect its own reforms It is*time, as Pre sident Quezon has intimated, for the government to act. Whether ultimately, as our poor river ferryman dreams, the land will be “divided equally among all people,” is a far nnd doubtful ques tion But even granting that and granting also that some day there may be no m.ire rich no more poor we are still left with his impossible humanity’s age-old dream, that then everyone will be happy. For happiness for everyone will be happy For happiness for everyone is of Utopia and the Mellinium. and they are not yet. When there is no more discontent in this world there wiU. be no more world. By Atty. ANDRES C. MOMONGAN The election has come and gone. The war is over. And now that the smoke of bat tle is cleared, the thundering guns of the different parties in the City have ceased fi ring and the victors are emerging with thriumphant smiles, leaving behind them less fortunate opponents hur ried in the debris, it may not be amiss to comment on the result of the encounter. On the whole the result of the election is fair, basing our conclusion on the kind of men that have been elected to the Mun. Board. Many will agree with us, that these men can not be the best to compose the said BoaFd, neither, can they be the worst to compose, the sain*. Hence we are of the opinion that when the greatest num ber of people in a community decides, its decision can rare ly, if ever, be erroneous Its desicion is just about right. In this connection, the writer is bold enough to state that, as a defeated candidate of the Labor Party, he has found out that the forgot ten mass or the “little man” can not as yet be depended upon, even how hard you fight for their rights and interests, for they are apt to sell their right to vote for a mess of fottage It takes an earthquake to wake them up.

Jakosalem, St. Cebu City, Philippines takes many more instances that they are only feasted and wined on election time and, rarely, are their rights and interests defended after that, in order that may unify and stand on their ground to the last. This is not said with ma lice and bitterness, because of the pang of defeat. It is said because it is the simple truth, yea, the naked truth. How many poor laborers of the City Public Works voted straight for the Anti ticket, laying aside the per sonal merits of each and every candidate, just for the privilege of working of the roads for one peso a day! How many of the labor leaders suffered defeat at the pells, ignominiously just be cause the laborers deserted their advocates for the mere glitter of gold! How many of the small merchants de sorted those who espoused their cause against Act No 215 and Sunday tuba prohi bition! Yes, “the people gets the kind of government it deserves”. On the whole, the result of the election in the City is fair. And since those elec ted are our councilors, let us all support and cooperate with them and get the best result during the next 3 years.

Principal: 1 am doing this for I cannot tell you the thing 1 would like to reveal to you. Teacher: What do y o u mean ? Principal: Well, madam I cannot help, but tell you the real motive for keeping you here in a latter time. I thought that married man like myself will not care to love another woman besides his wife. But I am sorry to tell you thnt Teacher: 1 am afraid you are driving a wild point. 1 thought you are calling me for conference regarding school work.

It is never safe for a lady teacher to go to an office alone. Now 1 am helpless so I have got to sub mit to your foxy idea, else this will get vulgar. LORETO & CECILIA Loreto: I wonder why 1 am always suffering stomach trouble. I think I will better consult this trouble with Dr Felino. Cecilia: Yes, I know that Dr Felino is one of the best practising physicians in the city. But the question is, that he is known to be very cu lining. Loreto: What are you driving at Cecilia? Cecilia: 1 mean that he is one of th j best nalikiros in this place. He loves almost every woman he meets. Loreto: Does he mean to love his patient altho she is married ? Cecilia: Oh, he is a terrible doctor! He takes advantage over his beautiful patients like you. Loreto: Who is the doctor then you can recommend to me in order to remove my stomach trouble? Cecilia: Every doctor has his specialty. Dr. Felino is known to be the best regard ing stomach trouble. To me he is the best physician in treating such kind of suffer ing you have. Loreto: How then will I get his professional service? Cecilia: Loreto, if you realy mean to escape from temptation, then 1 will advise you not to go to his clinic without your husband. For if you will go there alone or with anybody aside your mis ter, for sure he will use eve ry means and ways by which he can be successful in his human desire.

Why was President Manuel Quezon’s three hundred peso wreath dedicated to late Sena tor Robinson, spelled PhillippineB?

December 1937 GUARD 13 The Wonders... {Continued from page 8) mark. The nation which has ri sen into the air en masse* is not afraid to move through the air, and the sociology of the air is no trifling strate gical factor. Soviet aviation has also learned to convey heavy ar tillery and tanks throógh the air, and the French Air At tache in Moscow has seen, according toa statement made in the French Parliament in the winter of 1936, how nine ty-seven Soviet airplanes transported within two hours a fiblly equipped brigade, with sixteen guns, machine guns and tanks, into “the enemy hinterland.” The re port closed with the comment that “no other air force in the world is capable of such an operation.” If Goring, for his part, is now intervening in alarm and Japan will have great difficulty reaching vital Rus sian centers by air raid, the distances are so great, and there will be so great, and there will be so many lines of defense to pass through. But on the other hand both Germany and Japan are re latively small, compressed countries, with vital centers closely huddled together. Counter attack against Ger many from the air would probably prove deadly for Fascist Germany. Deadly for industry and the technical organization of the war, dead ly for national mobilizations, if it has not gone quickly and surely enough, but dead ly above all and most cer tainly for the social and po litical heart of warring Fas cism. Here we come to the final, inevitable act in the tragedy of this war, which has become Hitler’s tragedy. If airplanes of the Socia list and the Pacifist armies of defense arrive over Fas cist soil, they will bring with them a more devastating con flagration than that of ex plosive and incendiary bombs. More important than the goods of the ammunition makers will be the psycholo gical effects. For all thinking people in Germany know that this war is not a war of Germany’s, but a war of the Fascists, of the gangsters and lunatics. And as the planes appear the German opponents of the gangsters and lunatics will for the first time feel them selves not alone with them, not isolated and abandoned, but with mighty allies pres sing toward them. The development shifts here into that last of all strate gies, which usually concludes all wars and determines their final result: into social stra tegy. Further and deeper than that there is nothing more in the struggle bet ween human masses. To the figures of the di visions, guns, airplanes, the strength of the positions, it adds the invisible but mighty “figures” of the social tem perature, of the fighting country: the tendencies among the population, the mood prevailing in the proletarian districts, the thoughts of the workers’ wives, the intentions of the illegal revolutionaries. And it makes all these factors so powerful that it can thereby alter or even upset the factors of the first order. the purely military and technical quantities. The longer the wjir lasts the more dominating the social stra tegy becomes, over the ma terial and operative strategy. At the best the Fascist soldier will be an obedient automaton under compulsion. The Socialist soldier will be not only a rifleman, but also revolutionary propagandist and organizer, diminishing the number of enemies on his route and in his rear. No, Hitler will never be “over Russia.” Fascism will lose its crusade.

He had a few hours training at the Camp Murphy airfield before being sent to Kelly Field in Texas. Following his advance trai ning at Kelly Field Lt. Villa mor was assigned to tempora ry duty at Selfridge Field in Michigan. Standing orders direct him to report early next month to the commanding of ficer at Chanute Field in Illi nois where he is to pursue an officer’s course in aerial pho tography. Lt, Villamor will be 23 years old this coming November. Lt. Antonio Quirino does not boast of a famous father but his older brother happens to be debonair Secretary of the Interior Elpidio Quirino, who might have helped him to a soft and well-paying job in or outside the government service. But the younger Quirino would not have it that way. Lt. Quirino got his first taste of military life while he was a student in the Univer sity of the Philippines, where he became a colonel in the state university’s cadet corps. After passing the bar in ly34, he went into private practice “just for exoftfence” and then was a law* clerk in the bureau of justice. After serving as an assistant techni cal adviser to the last indepen dence mission, he acted for a time as a provincial fiscal of Bataan and later of Zambales. Then he thought of the ar my. He figured that with his early training, he would do well in some particular branch of the national defense forces. So he applied for enrolment in the Baguio Reserve Offi cers school and was admitted. After three months’ training he was commissioned first lieutenant. He is at present as signed to the intelligence divi sion of the army. Last but not least is the case of Lt. Angel M. “Bobby” Tuason, member of Manila’s “400,” sportsman and busi nessman, born with the pro verbial silver spoon in his mouth. Always a natty dres ser, Bobby looks nifty and “very fit” in his uniform. But he did not join the army because he likes to wear an officer’s uniform and receive salutes. He joined the army for several reasons, among them his desire to debunk the oft-repeated assertion that “the rich are indifferent to the national defense preg ram”—a thrust which gets un der his skin—and that “the rich guys always buy their way out” of certain responsiaibilities. In showing some people where they are wrong, Lt. Tuason is making a great sacrifice considering his exten sive interests which demand all his personal attention. Unlike most young men who have lately joined the llrmy Lt. Tuason is not a green horn in the ways of military life. From 1918, he was a cadet in the Northwestern mi litary aud naval academy at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Af ter his graduation he enlisted iq the United States army as a buck private with the inten tion of eventually going over to France to help “safe for democracy.” But the farthest point he got to was a training camp.

Manager CEBU CITY'S 1937 XMAS A new order of thing has taken its place in the City of Cebu. About a year ago a keen observer must have noticed the great change of the second city of the Philippines. One of the most striking changes that has taken place in Cebu City is its beautification. The - City Hall seems not to be the City Hall a year ago Roads which were once narrow and rugged are now widened and kept clean by the now administration. The rapid improvement of the City of Cebu is due to the farsightedness of Mayor Alfredo Jacinto' whose motto is always service to the people. So that to the common, tao and as well as to the cult ured one, the hard worker mayor ha* given the best •terry Christmas to the City of Cebu, Can the residents of the City of Cebu expect a better Christmas gift next year? ANTI FACTION IN CEBU IS TRIUMPHANT As long as Vice President Sergio Osmeña and Secre tary Mariano Cuenco will remain antagonistic to each other, there always remain two distinct political factions in the province of Cebu. There is Osmeña leading the pro wing and Cuenco for the anti. 'fhe two have been noted to be political rival for a long number of years. But their rivalry was only exposed to the public in the 1934 elections when the two leaders have fought fiercely in the political arena. It resulted in that fight that Cuenco was downed from the gubernatorial chair, but was able to get majority of the legislators and the town presidents. Of the seven representatives, Osmeña got two only while Cuenco got five. And of the fifty-two towns, Osmeña got twenty-one and Cuenco had attracted thirty-one municipal presidents. In another word, there were more Cuenkista represen tatives and municipal executives than the Osmeñistas. In the recent political battle in the province of Cebu, Cuenco has attracted more provincial officials because one of the board members and the governor-elect are said to be Cuenkistas. AmoDg the municipal mayors, Osmeña has six while Cuenco got the rest of the town heads. Cuenco got majority of the municipal mayors due to his sterling personality. His dealing with his admirers is constant so that he is able to hold the sympathy of almost all of them. Cuenco’s tact and amiable character have attracted a lot of friends so that many political observers believe that he will rise to power. Due to the victory of the anti faction in Cebu, it is believed that in 1938 election for the seats of the Nation al Assembly, the Cuenkista candidates are likely to get elected POPULAR FRONT'S DEFEAT When the Popular Front was founded in Manila, many believe that this will become a strong opposition to the party in power. Many believe that the Popular Front candidates in the last municipal and provincial elections will be elected be cause of the discontent of the mass. But after the election it was found out that the Popu lar Front candidates for gubernatorial chairs were badly beaten. And not only the provincial candidates suffered defeat, but even .the municipal mayors were licked by the candi dates of the Nationalista Party or by the pro and anti fact ions in some provinces. The defeat as we believe, is due to lack of or ganization. In many municipalities, there were not even local or ganizations so that they were unable to get election ins pectors. So that if the leaders or founders of the Popular Front will continue to be slow, then we cau never expect such political party to act as a strong minority in the Philippines. TWO IMPORTANT DATES IN DECEMBER For the Filipinas, the month of December is very im portant. On The twenty-fifth of this month great majority of the Filipinos who are Christians will be reminded of the birth of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Hii birth is so important for the greatest of all sacrifices in the world was born with Him. Christ did not value His life for the sake of the people. He volunteered to be tortured and died a great martyr just, tn save us. Another date which will be unforgotten by the present generation to be banded to the future gene rations, is December thirtieth. The Filipinos can never forget this date for this was the day when all of our brothers and sisters were awaken of the abuses made by the Spaniards. So that due to this awakening, the Filipinos’ aspira tion for liberty had become intense by leap and bound. And if we Filipinos crave for independence, this crav ing for freedom should be remembered as was planted by Dr. Jose Rizal and to be reaped by his fellow countr/men.
