I wish to congratulate the officers and members of thePortia Sorority upon the successful celebration of their 52ndAnniversary.

Justice, truth and good government, make up for a goodand just society. Portians have been associated with theseideals fer a good part of Portia Society's half a century of existence. You must continue to do so, for even now you know thatthe law can just as well wreck as give substance to these en- .during values.

It is with great pleasure that I congratulate each and everymember of the recently formed Hatidsining Artists' Ensemble.

I quite appreciate the phllosopny behind the organization of the group, and that is, that performing artists have aduty to inject culture into the largely crass and commercialisticentertainment fare being peddled in our society today. As W.Somerset Maugham said: "The value of culture is its effect oncharacter. It avails nothing unless it ennobles and strengthensthat.tts aim is not beauty but goodness."

I wish the Ensemble every success in its noble mission.

The UP presidency of Carlos P. Romulo can be cnaracterized by his vision of the University of the Philippines as "thebest university for the Filipino." A university that would offerthe best from the world of the mind without loosing its roots inthe best of the "Filipino tradition ana the Asian heritage. Hisvision called for a combination of the highest standards ofscholarship to be found anywhere in the world and the highestrespect fOI Asian and Filipino history, tradition, and values.

He gave concrete application of this vision by creating theforerunner of the Asian Center, the Institute of Asian Studies,and giving it a dean distinguished by his talent and dedication:Dr. Ruben Santos Cuyugan. And, as a visionary with his feetplanted firmly in the ground, Romulo worked tirelessly to givethe Institute the financial support and facilities to achieve itsgoals. The clearest evidence of the success of Romulo'sefforts is found not only in the Institute's, and later the AsianCenter's, many distinguished contributions to Asian and Filipino studies, but in the altered intellectual landscape of UP.Today, UP is an Asian and Filipino center of high learning, or itis nothing. We cannot imagine UP today as a:nything but an ,eminently Asian and Filipino center of high learning .

In naming after him the building which now houses the,Asian Center, we honor his memory and rededicate ourselves'to pursuing his vision beyond the confines of the University.

I send my warmest greetings to the U.P. Department ofEnglish and its guests during the staging of William Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors."

Lovers of the theatre allover the world owe an immeasurable debt to Shakespeare. The great Bard stocked theatre withmany unforgettable characters whose thoughts, passions andprejudices transcend the time and clime of ElizabethanEngland. The timeless appeal of Shakespeare lies in his playsbeing mirrors whereby humanity praises and scorns itself, reojoices and despairs in its existence.

Sir Francis Bacon once said that, "crafty men condemnstudies; simple men admire them, and wise men use them."

Employment of knowledge goes beyond the mere application of learned theories and skills. It takes wisdom to put it togood use not only for one's self-interest but for the collectivewelfare.

I wish everyone success and happines.

I send my warmest greetings to the members and alumniof the UP Botanical Society on the occasion of its 30th Anniversary and Homecoming.

But most importantly, you are all bound together for beingthe depository of society's great expectations. Your meetingthese expectations will not only give tribute to your Alma Materbut also reaffirm society's trust in it.

Warm greetings to the officers and members of theUPMASA Chapter-Chicago and Northwest Indiana. The birth ofthis new-Chapter in that part of the United States is a welcomeaddition to other alumni groups which seek to foster fellowsnlp arnonq U.P.'s graduates abroad.

As I felicitate you on your Inaugural and Induction Ball,allow me to express to you all the University's gratitude for thehospitality, support and courtesies many of your members ex·tended to us during our visit in October last year to the UnitedStates. Your unwavering support and sympathy to the University inspires us back home to give our Alma Mater our best.

I extend my warmest congratulations to the UniversityCorps otCadets and Corps of Sponsors and their co-organizersin HIMIG 86 for continuing a meaningful tradition of seekingunity through the universal love for good music.

Those who trave thnuqht [seriousty about life often remarkon the solitariness of human existence. There is a latentaloneness as distinguished from loneliness, in all of us despitethe reassurances of membership in a community. There is areal necessity for all those which can aid us in our escape fromthat melancholy state. I personally believe that music, morethan confirming this need, opens our souls to one another'scompany.

I wish the UP Junior Marketing Association a successful; turnout in their fundraiser, "Traditional Scandal Too."

The project is beneficial in both the short and long run.In the short run, it wi II earn proceeds for the.benefit of the National Mental Hospital and the JMA Scholarship Fund. In thelong run, it wi II help instill social responsibility in the consciousness of JMA members who will surely be the leaders intomorrow's business world.

I therefore look forward 10 more of this kind of projectsby the Association.

Warmest congratulations to the 1986 graduates 01 UPCollege Cebu.

Access to educational opportunities is a right guaranteedby fundamental law, custom, and tradition. But in more waysthan one, a U.P. education is a privilege. Not all are possessedwith the capecttv. if not an initial temerity to meet Universitystandards of high scholarship and independent thought. Noteveryone are willing to assume the burden of a lifelong cornmitment of service to the people which is part and parcel ofUniversity training.

You are indeed a privileged lot. The cream of the crop, theysay. I hope that you wi II never forget that privilege has abliga- .tion for a twin. That high obligation of putting your skills andknowledge to the harness of national development.

manner of selection of the initial recipient of the fund or holderof the chair poses a problem. The UniverSity Charter vests thepower of appointment in the University Board of Regents uponnomination by the President. This militates against any othermethod of filling.a professorial chair.

Donors may, however, participate in the selection processthrough membership in a screening committee to choose anominee for appointment. Existing arrangements provide for acommittee composed of the President of the University asChairman, and as members, a representative of the donor andthe Dean of the College where the chair will be established.

Attached tor your information and possible guidance is anexcerpt from a Board of Regents resolution establishing aprofessorial chair.

University officials and the Dean and faculty of the Institute of Mass Communication will be present during the awarding ceremony at tile residence of Ambassador SlephenBosworth on 8 January 1986 at 6:30 p.m.

I am pleased to extend warmest greetings to the University of the Philippines Alumni Association on the occasion ofits Annual Homecoming and Reunion.

The periodic getting together of alumni is a tradition as oldas the University itself. But mere tradition should not be itsonly excuse for being.

Our Alma Mater ever puts the claim to be the Universityof the Peopte. If ~e would give substance to that claim, ouralumni should regard themselves as ever accountable to thepeople. This homecoming should reaffirm that conviction.Beyond reminiscing and merrymaking, it should be an occasionfor personal reassessment.

The University and its graduates have played and will continue to playa significant role in Philippine society and government. At this crossroads in our history, ret us all dedicate ourtalents and time and treasure if necessary to help make thePhilippines truly just and humane, free and fair...._.-OJ'

I wish to recommend for your favorable endorsement tothe President of the Philippines, the issuance of a PresidentialProclamation, a draft copy of which is attached, declaring theSouth Point Islands and adjoining offshore area of BarangayLapaz, Municipality of Nueva Valencia, SUbprovince ofGuimaras, Iloilo, as a National Reservation, in accordance withthe attached documents.

The UPV sees the national reservation of the area as ahaven for marine life and as a means of providing scientists ofthe University and of the country a center for marine biologicalstudies and interpretation of interrelationship between marineorganisms and their environment without destructiveinfluences of man's exploitation. Scientific work in the proposed national reservation can therefore provide pertinentinformation for the wise and proper management and conservation of marineresources.

The UPV has estabiished a Marine Biological ScienceStation in Taklong Island to provide facilities for scientists todo research within the national reservation. The approval of therequested Presidential Proclamation will therefore enhanceand assist our scientific efforts in marine biology and ocea~o·

The University of the Philippines appreciates the desirefor high quality tertiary education in Pagadian City and Zarnboanga del Sur. Because of similar request previously made'from other parts of Mindanao, the UP made a thorough study ofthe manpower, financial and other implications of a UP presence in Mindariao. The result of the study indicates that atthis time it is not possible for the UP to establish any morebranches any where without prejudice to existing units of the

University and the maintenance of high academic standards.Considering its present manpower, financial, and other

constraints, all that the U.P. has been able to do in answer torequests for its presence in Mindanao is to enter Memoran~a.ofAgreements with selected Mindanao .universities ~or [ointcourse ottermqs. Initially, courses 10 mathematics, ..~hesciences, and languages are offered. Occasional trainingcourses in administration/management are also conducted.There was one such course in Pagadian City in 1985 andseveral others are being planned for Pagadian City and the Province of Zamboanga del Sur for the current year.

Ms. Valentina P. Perez, et al.University of the PhilippinesDillman, Quezon City

DearMs. Perez:

In reply to your letter dated 19 December 1985 regardingyour claim that there was unfairness committed against lecturers who are U.P. personnel in the Guidelines for Granting the1985 Year-End Incentive Pay, allow me to make the followingclarifications:

1. The incentive allowance corresponding to overloadteaching is actually meant to upgrade the faculty member'scompensation to a rate that is the same as his basic salary;

2. The overload rate of the faculty is lower than the lecturer's rates received by REPS and administrative personnelespecially if yoUtakeinto account the additional fees for eachfinal examination given. This disparity is only partly equalizedby giving the faculty the P500 lump sum corresponding to theiroverload teaching. .

The attached tables provided by the Olfice 01 the BudgetDirector show how the faculty's overload rates compare withlecturer's rates.

We hope that you find these clarifications to your satisfaction and we wish to assure you we continue to evaluate and reevaluate our compensation rates so that everybody may bejustly rewarded for his work.

Gentlemen:

This refers to your letter 01 7 January 1986 mtorrnmq theUniversity that your Board had determined that ProfessorEstrella D. Solidum should continue to hold the Maria LanzarCarpio chair for another term of three years.

The University agrees that Prof. Solidum has compliedwith the conditions attached to the Chair and thereby qualifiesfor reappointment.

Nonetheless, an appointment to a professorial chair isan aopolntment in the University and has to adhere to procedures established by the University Charter and the rulesrelating to professorial chairs. These rules require that recornmendations for appointment shall be made by the President tothe Board of Regents. While ag"teements for endowments forprofessorial chairs may provide for participation by donors inthe screening process, the ultimate recommendation mustemanate from the President and the appointment must bemade by the Board of Regents.

For a people must not only be free, they must also be true totheir distinct national identity. This fidelity to their origin and:character was the firmest foundation of a rnaaninqlul freedom.Romula went back to the Filipino people to teach them thatthey are Filipinos, that they must not only be free but they must,also be responsible to their national heritage.

The arts of communication is the thread that runs throughthe many incarnations of Carlos P. Romula, the Journalist, theDiplomat, the Educator. They expressed his fundamental faiththat it is enough for the people to know for them to act rightly.By this faith, he gave the highest tribute possible to the nationhe had served so well. This faith is for me, his greatest legacy.

Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara al tne 20lhAnnual Convention of the Inner Wheel Clubs of

the Philippines, Inc. on 14 March 1986al the ManilaMidtown Hotel.

Thank you very much Banjo tor that very thoughtful, verykind introduction. Let me greet our President, Lily Nicolas andFlo Tecson, the overall chairperson at this convention. as wellas the members at the national Board and the past presidents,the officers and members of the chapters from all over thecountry. '-

I thank you all tor giving me this honor of addressing your20th Annual National Convention. I know that the preparationsfor this national convention have taken quite some time andthe invitation, if I remember right was extended by Flo Tecsonway back in November 1985. We are quite fortunate thatbetween November and today, an upheaval has taken place inour country and perhaps in our lives. We all rejoice over that,but we also in a sense applaud our own acts as Filipinos.We are proud again to be Fllipinoa. tn the past five years I havebeen President 01 the University of the Philippines, I haveattended several international conferences and on theseoccasions I cannot escape the feeling 01 being defensivehaving to explain about my country. That defense attitude isnow gone and we can attend any forum and any gathering withour heads held high because we now know the worth of aFilipino.

And as I thank you for this honor, I wish to pay tribute toyou an. You have come to this convention from all parts of thecountry at your own expense, you travelled here at your owncost. There is no compulsion for you to come yet you come tothis three-day gathering-truly an act of unselfish service .Please accept my sincere compliment and congratulations tothe national officers and the members.

Today I have chosen to speak on the elevation of a womanto the high~st position in our land. To many of us, the peacefuland successful ascendancy of Mrs. Corazon C. Aquino to thePresidency 01 our country marks the dawn of a new era, thebirth as it were of a new nation dedicated, in her own words, tojustice, freedom, and democracy. No wonder we rejoice notonly in Manila but throughout the land. It's a tribute not only toPresident Aquino but also a well-deserved compliment to eachand every Filipino.

That for the lirst time in our history we have a Lady Prestdent in a political culture that has had a very strong traditionalbias in favor of the males is by itself remarkable. But I guessthat is also reflective of what many in this country see in theInner Wheel. You provide the dynamism, you provide themotion that makes all of you do unselfish service. The fact thatwe have a Lady President is not only historical in the Philippinecontext. It is also historical in the regional sense. We are thefirst countr(in the ASEAN with a Lady President. We can alsopoint with pride to distinguished women who had figuredprominently in our history. Princess Urduja, Gabriela Silang,

Tandang Sora, in modern times, Josefina Llanes Escoda, PilarHidalgo Lirri, just to mention a few, were all noted for theircourage, selflessness and leadership. I think President Aquinois but followi ng the tradition of these great women of accomplishment.

I say that the new government is like the birth of a newchild. That the teaderof this new nation is a woman reinforcesthat metaphor-of a mother experiencing birth pains, of theurgent need to nurture the infant with loving care amidst theperils of qrowinq up. We who are parents realize too well fromour own experiences that birth is only a point in the life cycle,that there are far more complex stages and challenges ah-eadas the infant goes through childhood, adolescence and adulthood, that the process of maturation requires time, vision. andpatience.

Comparing the Filipino nation now to a newly born childmay provide us some insights and guidance. We cannot artificially accelerate the act of grOWing. The Book of Ecclesiastessaid: "There is a time for everything and a moment for everyaffair under the heavens.' ' No child is ever born entirely new.He carried the genes and looks of his parents and ancestors.Similarly, no nation however newly generated is without linksto the past. There are traditions that provide stability, Instttutlons that infuse a sense of order and shared values that keepPhilippine society intact.

This is not to say that there is no need nor room for reform.On the contrary, a revolution by its very nature demandsradical change. But change is only a means to an end. Topursue change for its own sake is tc strip any revolution 01 itsrationality and humanity.

Understandably, there 'IS so much in our society today thatmust be changed, that must be altered. And the popularmandate that the new government has received from our people is that 01 reform. But let me hasten to add that while we allwant genuine and sincere reform in both government andsociety, let us do it with utmost care and wisdom. Let us not inthe process of sweeping the dust of an ugly past cast everything aside because after all there are many institutions andstructures in our country that are still sound and good. One ofthem is the Inner Wheel, and the other is, if I may say so, oureducational system, despite its imperfections. Let us notuproot everything we see and touch while effecting change. Letus select those we want to change carefulty and with wisdom.

Nature has given us a timeless lesson-that it takes 50much to build institutions even with all their imperfections. II ismuch easier to uproot than to plant. It is much easier to destroythan to build. With more reason then that there should be thehighest degree of prudence and wisdom in deciding whatshould be uprooted, which should be pruned, and what shouldbe conserved and continued. In short, what I am saying is, it ispossible to be revolutionary' and at the same time creative. Weneed not be entirely destructive.

If I have highlighted the pains of a newly born nation andpointed to some of the pitfalls as it goes along, it is only because we want the Aquino government to succeed. We wantthe new government to solve the grave ills of our society. Nosingle election will solve them. Nor can this election do it. Inthe next two or three months, we will still have to face theproblem of unemployment in this country. Consider that 40 to50% of our labor force is either unemployed or underemployed.Consider that 70% of our households receive less than theprotein and nutrition that they ought to receive. Consider thatevery year we add 1.5 million to our population, one of thl::highest in this part of the world. Consider too, that our countryis burdened with a huge foreign debt that you and I must payfor. Consider that close to 60% of Filipinos are under 21. Weare a youthful nation. Among that youth there is a high expectation. There is very high hope. There is much idealism.

We must worry about the many Filipinos who go hungry,about the many Filipinos who are unemployed. the many Pilipinos who are underfed. Together we must think about that and

Commencement Address of President EdgardoJ. Angara at the 63rd Graduation Exercises

of the Philippine Women's University on23 March 1986 at tne PICC.

Only a little more than a month ago, the Filipino peoplewaged a lour-day uprising which brought a new governmentinto power. In an unprecedented expression of unity, varioussectors of society, such as the religious, professionals andbusinessmen, students, and urban and rural poor, joined forceswith a military mutiny to topple the past regime and to install anew leadership in its place.

The bloodless revolution was of course not an overnightdevelopment but was the culmination of an insistent publicdemand for change. From its beginnings in the sporadic streetdemonstrations and other farms of protest both before andafter the assassination of former Senator Benigno Aquino

•

- in 1983, it accelerated aver the past two and a half years into a_Fnationwide movement that found expression in the February

7 elections and its realization in the February 25 revolution.By their shaw of overwhelming support both through the

February poliS as well as through the four-day revolution theFilipinos gave the new government a clear mandate to governthe nation.

At the same time, the revolution generated Widespreadeuphoria because the Filipinos proved to themselves and tothe world at large their capacity to make the transition todemocracy in a peaceful and innovative way, without the irreparable cost of a devastating civil war.

Even as the nation is still basking in that euphoria, wemust not, however, forget that our new government is facedwith and has to confront the economic crisis it has inherited.

The four days of February constitute a revolution in thesense that a transfer of political power has been achieved.That revolution still has to be completed in terms of economicand social change, whose realization the people expect in theform of better lives for all. This, given the magnitude of theinjury the past regime inflicted on the economy, will take sometime to achieve. While a majority 01 our people undoubtedlywill appreciate that fact, we .owe the duty to each other .as

fellow Pllipincs to help spread that message of understandingand to erase despair and even cynicism.

We can begin by directing and harnessing the energiesand enthusiasm unleashed by the revolution. The gravity of the

problems which confront the nation at this time indeed re:quires, more than ever, the new government to marshall that

: revolutionary fervor to the national purpse.You are all familiar with our many problems. Our country is

saddled with a huge foreign debt of 26 biilion dollars. whoseinterest payments atone are eating up some 40% of ourexport earnings. The country's growth rate has-aeclin-edoverthe last two years by 9.20%, making the Philippines lac painfully behind other countries in the ASEAN regfon in t~rms ofeconomic growth.

Unemployment and underemployment continue to be aplague on our land aggravated by the business recession inthe last two and a half years.

In 1978, unemployment for the third quarter stood at 4.1%of the total labor force representing .7 million persons. Fiveyears later, in the third quarter of 1983, the unemploymentfigure had gone up to 5.4% or 1.1 million persons. In the third

I quarter of 1985, 7.1% or 1.52 million persons out of a total 21.3million were jobless.

The rise in the underemployment fjgures ...·""5 been evenmore alarminq. In the third quarter of 1978, the underemployment rate was 19.6% representing a total of 3.2 million persons.By 1983, it had risen to 30.1% representing a total of 5.8 millionpersons. During the third quarter of 1985 it stood at 22.2%representing some 4.4 million who worked 65 days or less out

. of a total 19.6miilion.Estimates based on the 1980 integrated survey of house

holds of the National Census and Statistics Office (NCSO)show that income distribution worsened between 1980 and1983. In 1980, the poorest of total households which receivedonly 21.6% of total income suffered a further' decline of theirshare to 21.1% in 1983 while the richest 10% of householdsincreased their share of total income' from 41.4% in 1980 to43.6% in 1983.

The standard of living of the average Filipino likewise,has sharpiy declined over the past t'lJO years. In 1983.the daitycost of living for a family of six in Metro Manila was "71.11while the legislated minimum wage for workers in Metro Manilawas only 1142.07, or the cost of one kilo of pork or two kilos ofgalunggong. In 1984. the daily cost of living went up to ~105.38

while the minimum wage had only been raised to "57.08 and inJ1.Jne 1985. the daily cost 01 living further went up to ~111.48

while the minimum daily wage remained the same.Imagine a jeepney driver who has to earn thiS amount daily

to provide his family with the basic necessities like food,shelter, the schooling of his children and other necessaryhousehold expenses.

Es-timates ottne poverty level in the country showed thatthe lowest poverty threshold of "1082.43 per month was noteven reached by the legal minimum wage of the highest nonagricultural worker who is the sole breadwinner in a six-memberhousehold for the entire Philippines. In Metro Manila, theminimum poverty threshold of "1036.36 is not even reached bythe majority of our laborers.

According to the Ministry of Society Services and Devel·opment, the new income cut-oils to determine eligibility forwelfare services of clientele are: "350 monthly income for a

.arnatt-stze family with six or less members and 11400 monthlyincome for a large-size family with more than six members inthe rural areas; and 11400 monthly income for a small-size familyof six or less members, and 11450 monthly income for 11 largesize family of more than six members in the urban areas. These.

; minimum levels are notably much lower than the minimumpoverty threshold cited earlier for both the' rural and urban. .areas.

From these data, it can be clearly seen that the sector of; society which has suffered the most since the economic crisishit our country has been the poor. Considering that they

roao to economic wellbeing and in the process cure suchsocial ills that the economic deprivation has spawned, namely,criminality, prostitution, llliteracy.and insurgency.

Given our deep-rooted socto-econorntc problems, what arethe Aquino government's plans and programs?

In the first concrete move to address the worsening masspoverty that afflicts majority of Filipinos, President Aquinodirected Economic Planning Minister and NEDA DirectorGeneral Solita C. Monsod to lead in formulating an overall plan.President Aquino reqtiires that the development plan locus onemployment, income-generation and equitable distribution of'wealth and opportunities. Indicating the new leadership'sconsultative style, President Aquino asked all sectors like ifarmers, businessmen, professionals and members of theacademe to assist in drafting the development plan.

While we have yet to see the shape and substance of thisprogram of economic justice and human development, it ishighly noteworthy that this early we know Where the heart ofthis new government is. Let us all respond to her call for consultation.

The new government appears serious and in earnest atdispensing economic justice. For having redeemed his dignityand recaptured his treecorn, the Filipino deserves to be economically self-reliant in order precisely to enhance his dignity asan individual and truly promote his freedom. We would wishevery Filipino freedom's blessings and food as well. It is not animpossible dream. Our recent experience has proved to us wecan ascend to the heights. The important thing is that everyoneof us unite behind the attainment of the goal of making ourcountry a land of peace, prosperity and freedom.

You are graduating at this exciting moment in our historywhen the nation needs so much from everybody. I am sure thatas graduates of this distinguished institution which over theyears has established a tradition of making distinctive contributions to nation building in the fields of Home Economics,Culture, and the Arts, you have a role to play. The task ofbuilding a new nation requires the collective talents, skills,resources, and ideals of all of us.

This privilegeis granted by history to future generations. But now you have it.Please bear in mind that any privilege carries with it a solemnobligation. You have a duty to see to it that the dawn you areseeing turn into a beautiful day, your v~ry own future.

A REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT UNDER THERULE OF LAW

Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at the BishopsBusinessmen's Conference on 21 March 1986 at the

Makar; Sports Club

A central problem that must be considered and resolvedwith increasing urgency in the country today is whether or notthe present government should declare itself revolutionary.The question is crucial because the answer will define what theGovernment can and cannot do in the critical next six monthsto one year. It will also determine the procedures available toGovernment, [n bringing about the desired changes, and to thepeople who perceive undue interference with their rights andinterests in government actions. The importance of thedecision is underlined by the fact that the present Governmentcame to power on the crest of wide and insistent populardemand for the fundamental restructuring of political andsocial institutions. The prompt satisfaction of popular expectations might be critical for its credibility and continuinq masssupport.

Yet, like all critical decisions in politics, it is not one that is

arrived at with the facility of mathematical computation. Theagitation, the anguish, and the vacillation are understandable,When one deals with matters which have profound impact onthe lives of fifty-tour million people and future generations,one must be reminded that, in social decisions, there areadvantages and disadvantages, that in any social organizationthere are competing claims, and that there must be an effort tofind the solution that will serve the general and long terminterests of the nation.

There are textbook arguments in support of and against arevolutionary government.

Before I go into the consideration of the nature of govern·ment of the Philippines, let me make brief reference to thesearguments and counter-arguments.

In support of a revolutionary government is the ease bywhich it can secure and implement social and political changeswithout the customary restraints established by a constitution,a full-blown bureaucracy and a legal system. In this way, it isable to implement policies that could normally be accomplished::>nly by going through tedious procedures. It can dismiSSpersonnel with the dispatch normally prevented by civil servicerules and other more intricate proceedings defined by theConstitution and the laws, and it can appoint new personnelwho are more deserVing and credible such as those whooccupy critical positions in the judiciary, electoral bodiesand the auditing service. The impact of reform is thereforeimmediate and perceptible.

In a revolutionary government, the procedure for themaking and the modification of laws also becomes a simplerprocess, It can be done by the revolutionary executive or by asmall body not afflicted by political partisanship and thereforeurgent matters are seasonably attended to by legislation.

On the other hand, the textbooks also point out that arevolutionary government is essentially unstable, Because it.comes to power without reference 10any set of rules, it cannotthereby bind the different forces in society to any legalprocedures for effecting changes and is therefore vulnerable toanother revolutionary action, such as a coup.

In addition, because of the extreme ambiguity 0.1 the system of rules under which it operates, the people do not knowwhat behavior is lawful or unlawful and cannot ascertain whatrights they have in relation to government. This causesanxieties which will ultimately undermine support for qovernment and result in the instability of the state.

It is also pointed out that the rules issued by such a government will only be good -and effective for as long as it issupported by the military and that the government will collapseas Soon as the military withdraws its support. The net effect,therefore, is that it is the miliary that is the real ruler, and thata succession of civilian regimes will in fact only disguise amilitarist state with militarist values.

Finally, there is the psychological handicap that arevolutionary government must operate under.cjn a societysuch as the Philippines, where the conscrousness of thepeople and their behavior is dominated by a need for lawfulnessand adherence to the Constitution and rules, a perception ofillegitimacy may grow with regard to a government that callsitself revolutionary. Furthermore, one of the most essentialbonds that bind the people to their government, the law, mightbe perceived to be non-existent and might pave the way toanarchy.

The advantage and disadvantages are real. But one doesnot address a complex social question by the simplistic torrnu.lation of textbooks, especially if both the revolution, and thegovernment that comes to power as a result of, does not fit thestereotypes. •

Let me then address the Philippine Revolution of 1986 andthe government that assumed power consequent to it.

A government fell and a government was installed bydirect action of the people.

This revolution was carried out outside of the frameworkof any existing constitution. In truth. it was waged not only

·"again~t 'certain personaliti~s and the corrupt practices that. attended the February 7 election. It was a revolt against the

entire political and legal apparatus that supported thelallenregime, including its Constitution.

A government that is instituted by direct action of the people and in opposition to the authoritarian values and practicesof the overthrown government can only be revolutionary. Itderives both its existence, authority and character, not fromany constitution but directly from the people themselves, by anact of revolution in the name of democracy. It cannot escapebeing revolutionary and democratic at the same time.

In recent days, much apprehension has been expressedabout the dangers that inhere in an admission of the existenceof a revolutionary government. Variously, it has been describedas a government operating without restraints of the law, and asophisticated form of dictatorship and other phrases to thesame effect. The spectre of a government with absolute power,limited only by its judgment, from decision to decision, israised.

If one were to proceed purely on a theoretical plane, it isindeed possible to come to such a result. But one does not, infact cannot, characterize a government in abstraction. Onemust see the matter of characterization in the context of thecircumstances and purposes for which the revolutionary government has been set up.

The Philippine revolutionary government was born in theprocess of the struggle against authoritarianism and itsmanifold manifestations. It was set up in opposition to factual,if undeclared, martial rule, the suspension of the privilege ofhabeas corp use, to illegal and unlimited arrests and detention,to the PDA, to extra legal executions, to torture and other formsof degrading and inhuman treatment, to wholesale andmassive corruption and the plunder of the national wealth atthe expense of and without answerability to the people-in aword, to an arbitrary rule of men and women as opposed to the

_-rule 01 law.To put it positively, the revolutionary government was

established to reaffirm the dig~ity of individuals and thepreemptory norms of human rights: It is founded upon government responsibility and accountability to the people. Theseaspirations limit the power of this government, whose legi·

, timacy rests not just on the "people power" buton peoplerising in revolt to establish a democracy. The popular actionboth catapulted the Aquino government to power and fixedpermanently its democratic character.

But the 'coyness and the hesitancy to acknowledge itsrevolutionary character so far, have precisely prevented thisgovernment from coming out with clearly defined statementas to the extent and the limits of its powers, That it recognizessome such limitations may be inferred from its ratification ofthe U.N. Convention on Civil and Political Rights, the revocationof Proclamation No. 2045 which authorized the continuingsuspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, and itsavowed intention of repealing the power of the executive toissue the dreaded PDA. But one cannot proceed with theimminently practical matter of governance from mere inferencesalone.

The ambiguity and the uncertainty of principles and rulesthat bind people and government to each other fuel the speculations of the fearful and the mischievous. They alsogenerate anxieties and conflicts that result in instability.Worse, they hamper the capacity of government to tear downwith dispatch and in an effective way structures and institutions which were peculiarly designed to secure the ends of thedeposed regime but which are irrelevant or even, harmful to the

: purposes of the present government and the aspirations of thepeople expressed through the revolution.

I To cite just one concrete example, in the last few days,i claim has been made by a former official of the former govern: ment that massive withdrawals of funds contrary to accounting, and auditing regulations were carried out in accordance with a: presidential directive. The sparseness of the explanation

Ii should not lull us into a trap; it IS evlqent that it is made.. preparatory to invoking the immunity ciauss of the 1973Constl

tutlon. For that Constitution indeed decrees that "The Presi-·dent shall be immune from suit during his tenure. Thereafter, "no suit whatsoever shall He for official acts done by him or byothers pursuant to his specific orders during his tenure."

It is easy to foresee in the succeeding days that a deluge:of appeals to the same provision will be made to escape officialresponsibility for unlawful acts. If conflicts on this point willhave to be resolved, the issue will haveto be brought before thecourts. For instance, the security of tenure clauses are also apotential source of difficulty. While many in the judiciary haveyielded to requests for voluntary resignation,.there remain.some holdouts adamant in their view that their security oftenure is protected by the Constitution. Yet it is an establishedaxiom that lor this government to be credible, it must effect a

·general change of personnel.The legal and practical straitjacket that may occur from

the 1973 Constitution should not be underestimated. One cango ttirough the same Constitution and find any number of

·potential traps and possibilities of political stalemates that willprevent the government from adopting and implementing

i policies and programs for meaningful change.I am convinced that the institutions of the 1973 Constitu

tion will deter and not support, the purposes of the existinggovernment.

Nor is it possible to take a position that the governmentis bound by a Constitution, but will abide only by its just orbeneficent or democratic features and reject the bad provisions. A constitution is an organic whole that must be acceptedor rejected in its entirety. A contrary view is subversive of the

· Rule of Law, and in fact paved the way for a rule of whim andarbitrariness. The re-establishment of the Rule of Law to mymind, was one of the principal demands of the people'Srevolution,

What, then, is to be done?The government, must first of all, overcome its hesitancy

and acknowledqe its character as revolutionary. There isnothing sinister or fearsome about this word-,it was oneverybody's lips in the barricades. It continues to be used withpride and joy by our people from all walks of life, from all socialclasses, by civilian and military, to signify an unusual achieve

, ment-making a political quantum leap with a minimum Ofbloodshed and by the triumph of goodwill over violence. ElYclamping down on the use of the word, aren't we unfairlydepriving our people the credit of their first successful revolution?

Then, to diffuse the tensions of the fea-rful and to neutralize the schemes of the mischievous, the government shouldspell out even in broad terms, the nature of the Philippine S9

, ciety under the new order, the basic principles that define itsrelationship with the Filiplno people as well as its orqanization,

Since I am morally certain that our people chos-e freedom,democracy and government of limited powers over authoritarianism, the instrument that contains this declaration,whether you call it a provisional constitutlon, general principlesand rules for a provisional government, or any other label,

· should contain statements which are already well known tomany of us; the Philippines is a republican democratic state;the civilian is forever supreme Qverthe military; the Philippinesis a sovereign state equal with all nations in the internationalcommunity and cognizant of the binding force of internationallaw in its relations with other states; an enumeration of the civil

· and political rights of the people-due process of law, equalprotection of the laws, the right against arbitrary arrests and

, detention, the right against torture and cruel, inhuman anddeqradinq punishment or treatment, and so forth. There mightbe a more detailed scheme on social justice. In addition, itshould provide for the structures of governance-where executive powers should lie; the specific powers of the executive;and the conditions for their exercise; the location of legislativepower and the manner in which legislations shall be enacted; 29

the organization of the judiciary and the definition of its author- I

ity. To avoid unnecessary disruptions, it might "be useful to'adopt a principle akin to what is known in public internatioinallaw as post-timinium: a recognition of the efficacy of existingnorms, except for the Constitution, until their repeal or modifi-·cation and the continuance of their functions by officials untilthe appointment of their successors or the abolition of theiroffices.

It is, of course, axiomatic that the-situation of the countryand the government must be normalized in the shortest timepossible. Towards this end, a formal commitment and adefinite timetable must be expressed for the framing and theadoption of a constitution. Whether the drafting be undertakenby a constitutional commission duly appointed by the govern-,ment or a constitutional convention directly elected by the'people, is a policy matter that the government will have toaddress. The point is to have a constitution within the earliest I

time possible. I can understand the psychological resistance toleaving the framing of so important an instrument to a fewpeople because of our recent historical experience. I believe aconstitution drawn up by a small number 6f people representing various sectors of society and freely adopted by the peoplewould be a more abiding ins-trument in terms of protecting the,democratic values than a constitution drawn up by anassembly alone hundred or two hundred rubber stamps. Thereare pros and cons to different formulas, but we cannot vacillateindefinitely.

Let me address specifically the question of the militaryin relation to the existing government. I sense that more thanany other source of objection to the declaration of a revolutionary government is the fear of a military takeover that lurksheavily in the minds of many who, not too long ago, perceivedthe military as essentially an undemocratic, oppressive and notentirely law-abidinq force in Philippine society.

Against this concern, I suggest thatwe look more closelyat the military forces which contributed to the coming about ofthe revolution and the new government.

Firstly, the reform movement which constituted the coreof the military force that supported the new government werethemselves the victim of gross disregard of rules. The movement for military reform was founded upon the necessity torrespect of rules and the assertion of-the human dignity of those:whose rights were violated. It would therefore be reasonable to 'assume that as long as the rules are properly spelled out and.are fairly and properly implemented, the military can be ex- :pected to abide by them and to assist in their proper implementation.

Second, and more important, to my mind, were the circumstances surrounding the revolution. The military forceswhich initially proclaimed its support for the leadership of the;new government were aware of, ·in fact they continue toexpress appreciation and gratitude for, the protection that thecivilians extended to them during the early hours of theirdefiance of the superior forces of the displaced regime. Unlikemany revolutions, where the military were the sale decisiveforce in the change of government, here-the military survived asa consequence of the critical support extended by the civilians.They knew that the millions that risked their lives to protectthem, did so for the predominance of the democratic principles.This understanding, the good faith and the goodwill generatedwhich persist to this day will deter the temptations to resort to .naked power.

I suggest the adoption 01 concrete measures and the setting up of practical mechanisms to continue the interactionand the dialogue between the military and civilians, will help toperpetuate the spirit of EDSA at Camp Crame and CampAguinaldo. That mutual respect, affection and protectivenessbetween civilian and military during the four-day revolutionshould be cultivated and fostered for the cause of humandignity and the democratic ideal.

The Filipino revolution of 1986 has been won, but it hasnot ended. It has indeed only begun. Our revolution has one

characteristic it shares with all others that preceded it-is aprocess towards the attainment of values which we have onlyrecently freely defined. Let us get on with the task of hurdTi"ngthe psycholoqical and semantic obstacle to acknowledging ourgovernment as revolutionary and by instituting our fundamentallaw in the earliest time possible.

Speech of President edgardo J. Angara at theNational Conference on Economic Issues sponsored

by the ASEAN Trade Union Council and the TradeUnion Congress of the Ph!lippines on 10 March

1986at the Manila Garden Hotet.

The organizers of this special conference on economicissues, the ASEAN Trade Union Council and the Trade UnionCongress of the Philippines originally scheduled thiscan ference before the February 7 presidential election and theupheaval rasultlnq thereafter. Given the events of the past twoweeks, this conference is being held under a totally differentatmosphere and under a highly upbeat mood.

lbi~·onference- therefore acquires sharp relevance and asense of urgency as we discuss national reforms. We have anew government strongly reformist in outlook. Since February25, it is busy in constituting its ministries and trying to projecta measure of stability and direction after the upheaval, It is stillin the process of defining its own-nature whether revolutionaryor not, but amid this tentativeness, as it gropes its way intopower, there is one _strong factor working in its favor: anoverwhelming mandate to reform. This is where business has awonderful opportunity. Business as business must take theopportunity to assert its institutional role and state in clear, ,explicit terms its business philosophy. This is one uniqueopportunity lor business to learn from the sad lessons of thepast. If business as business does not respond to thischallenge and business continues the way it is conducted inthi§,country, I am afraid the involvement of business in the lastpolitical process would have been in vain. ...

But let us look at the past in order to clarify ttie institutional role of business. I have said more than once' thatbusiness wealth in this country after independence wassornethinq 'created- no longer through enterprise but throughpolitics. U.S. war surplus, war damage claims, Japanese reparations opened vast opportunities for quick riches but theprincipal key to them was political office or political connec- .non. People who wanted to become businessmen but did nothave the intelligence to be one now became politicians. "Allpolitical offices,"· Recto observed, "are the open sesame towealth and influence." During the martial law period basicallythe same situation existed except that the door to businessopportunities was opened only to a chosen [ew. The situationwas made worse in the -past 15 years because governmentitself actively competed in business and the few legitimatebusinessmen were lettout in the cold .

The lesson business must learn from the experience of thepast four decades is this: no one could be trusted to take careof the interests of business other than ttseit Even our govern·ment cannot be trusted to protect the institutional interestof business. Business must intervene not as individual businessmen out to carve a sinecure for themselves and for theirprivate interests. They must intervene for the system itself, thesystem in which they do business. They need cert-ainty,stability and confidence. No more and no less. They must notangle for particular favors. An that business must demand isthat their government should adopt a policy climate that serveswell the general interest of Philippine business as a whole .

If Philippine business begins to safeguard its institutionalinterest rather than to extract particular favors and preferentia~ 'treatment, then business will cease to be the playground ofpoliticians and politics will no longer be used as they key toopen the doors togain undue preference in the marketplace.

. Such an institutional role I strongly sugg~st must now beclearly stated and explicitly articulated by business leaders.They institutional tole of business must nowbe defined, fornow is the time when the new government is trying to rebuildand strengthen our institutions. The new government is openlycommitted to free enterprise and against ruinuous monopolies.The new 91?vernment is publicly committed to a consultativeand democratic process of policy making. Business as aninstitution must respond to this call if its role in development isgoing to be meaningful.

And integral to the role business must play in developmentin our country is a genuine cornrnitrnent to social and politicalrelorm. The open optimism and the expansive mood businessnow finds itself would vanish unless business itself commitsits resources and capabilities to help the Philippines achievesocial and political reform. The euphoria of 100 days will soonevaporate when we reallze-s-that close to 70% of Filipinohouseholds receive less than the acceptable level of nutritional intake-more than half of the labor force are unemployedor underemployed-more than half of our 55 million population are under 20 years old-the Philippine economy is burdened by a $25 billion debt-government structures and processes require serious overhaul.

All good intentions help but at the end 01the day we mustcome to grips with this socio-economic problem. Business, as

.lt pursues its business interest, must consider the social andeconomic conditions of ~ur people.

The challenge of business is much greater today than inthe past. We no longer have the benefit of abundant naturalresources. We may expect for the short term financialassistance from rnaqnanirnous friendly countries. But that willnot solve the structural problems of our economy and society.We must now realize that the new wealth of the nation will nolonqer come from natural resources nor from magnanimousaid. Filipino businessmen must create that new wealth out ofthe enterprise of our people and the new technologies of theera.

And that brings me to the development 01 thai lactor 01Which we have abundance-our people. In particular I wouldlike to make a few remarks on trade unionism and its role ineconomic development. Organized labor to me is inseparablewhen one speaks of business because I see free and democratic trade unions as essential to sound business. But while atrade union is part and parcel of the business enterprise underwhich it operates, I believe that the trade union movement

t -nust be seen as a distinct and autonomous institution. Let meexplain why the economy has a strong stake in organized labor.

It is often thought that the nature of the conflict betweenlabor and capital is adversarial. This is not necessarily so. Newthinking regarding labor unions now is that in well-manaqed

_ companies they may serve as channels of information. Thealternative to -unlons is a high rate of turnover due to jobdissatisfaction. This is most true of those companies whichprovide skills, or where the loss of experienced people willentail losses for the company as well. Hence, rather thanallowing them simply to leave when disatisfied, a companymay do well to listen to union demands and grievances in theface of changing market conditions and technology. It is, 01course, the task 01 business to realize this. In the past, onemust admit, business has not entirely been appreciative of .thecontributions ordinary laborers make, and of the posstbtelosses that can occur when they leave. Rather they have tendedto think that, with the labor surplus prevailing, workers a~egenerally substitutable for one another and therefore there IS

no reatloss. This is certainly false.The -recognition of these facts will certainly change the

erceptions most managers and owners have towards labor~nions. It is not only the interests of m~nager~ and. workers

. olved but those' of the entire SOCietY, It outputthat are InV ,. b duced For itlosses resulting from dismissals or quits can ere .'s not only when union strikes when cutout lo~ses o~cur'de.g.,'in terms of man-days lost. Even where a union IS wea or oes

'not exist, there are output iosses in the form of quits byexperienced people dissatisfied with 'heir jobs, who are notquite easily replaced in the performance of their tasks by newer

. employees.And finally, let me suggest that we must be prepared to

define a broader role lor organized labor than 1he strictly, economic one to which we havebeen accustomed. For orI ganized labor merely to confine itself to the traditional econo-

mic struggle vis-a-vis capital and management, without bothering to inquire into the nature of the crisis the society andeconomy are undergoing would open it to the charge of beingsectional and myopic. The forces determining present economic outcomes transcend the bounds of usual shopfloor orintrafirm disputes, soon both labor and capital must come torealize the futility of dividing up a rapidly shrinking pie. If it is toavoid degenerating into simply another form of vested interest,however,· and become a vehicle for citizens' social involvement in the transformation of society, organized labor mustdevelop its own social and political viewpoint. How this is to bedone in a manner that is non-ideological, non-pa_rti~a~_but

rather statesmanlike is the challenge that is now presented tothe leadership in organized labor.

Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara read forhim by Chancellor Raul P. de Guzman at theInternational University Congress (UNIV '86)

on 22 February 1986, PCIS Auditorium.

For the past few weeks, we have all been witnessingevents with far-reaching consequences for our nation. We-havejust participated in a national election, hoping that whateverthe outcome we would all be united behind democratic processes. But today, nearly a month after, the outcome is stillcontested and we are larther from the goal of unity than wewere before.

While these events pertain mostly to the political sphere,they also touch on other areas of our national life. The neteffect has been that we now alternate between a dailyuncertainty and a general apprehension over the future. Sadly,the prospect of peace has become an unanswered question

.on everybody'S lips.However, I would hasten to add that, despite the circum

stances, the Filipino's inclination to peace has never beenmore clearly affirmed. The various sectors have acknowledgedthe present danger that the currents of political passions maysweep us all into a tragic conflict. And these same sectors,partisan or not. have unttorrnty called lor sobriety and appealedto reason. Against all odds, the will for peace is present.

I would like to believe that~he majority of Filipinos sharean aversion to violence. Historical experience, a deep Catholicbent and the interlacing of strong family and personal ties-allthese factors combine in binding us all to a preference forpeace and harmony. These bonds will hold to a certain extentfor as long as compromise which is honorable and does notcause a toss of face among proponenents is still possible.These bonds offer a measure of hope for our divided nation in

these times.I find a lot of insight in these words of John F. Kennedy.

He said: "Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process,gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers and

quietly building new structures." .Indeed, peace is never a static condition. For ItS precon

ditions are not constant givens. Those who ar~ concerne.dfor peace can never be complacent. For peace IS a ~ynamlc

'. process of seeking not only harmonious but productive relationships among men. And these relationships cannot assu~e

. d unchanging form. They change as often as me~ s~;~~:~d requirements change." this is true for re'ationsh~Phs

h w much more tor those wntcof privadte rnatthuere f~:~;~O~:n~t °a society organized throughare un edifferent institutions.

To the extent that society cannot accommodate the-.tenslons between conflicting interests of the different groupscomprising it, to that',extent will social cohesion be unstableand peace be threatened.

It should go without saying that in a society where allinterests are represented and adequately assured, the preservation of peace would be everyone's concern. The former is ofcourse an ideal situation. And it is often forestalled by a capacity for discontent which varies in degree but seems inherentamong men. Be that as it may, the history of terrible sacrificesamong men in the establishment of peace makes itspreservation an urgent concern.

In the case of our country, enough blood must havealready been shed to convince us that what we now need is notmore purging by blood, but purging of minds and hearts. Iborrow these words from the constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO): "Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in theminds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed."Theirwisdom is applicable to our present circumstances.

In these perilous times in our national !ife, when many arein thrall to rage and passion, whether justified or not, thedefenses of peace founded on reason need to be put up. I hopethat the participants in this 'conference will unite behind thevoice of reason and sobriety.

Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara read for himby Chancellor Ernesto G. Tabujara at the EasternRegional Organization for Public Administration

(EROPAj Conlerence held on 3 February 1986 at thePSSC Auditorium,

First of all, I would like to welcome the distinguished participants to the Regional Conference on the Electoral Processto the University of the Philippines.

It is a happy coincidence that the conference should beheld in the Philippines at this time. For as you very well know,the Philippines will hold its election for the presidency fourdays from now. This national exercise is universally viewed ascrucial to the immediate and distant future of our country, withfar-reaching implications for the Asian region as well. The eyesof the whole world are focused on the drama and events thatwill unfold in the days after the elections. But th is world-wideattention is not the reason why it is crucial,

The Philippine presidential election is crucial for threereasons. The first is economic in nature. While the presenteconomic crisis can be attributed in part to a world recessionwhich spared no country, it has only been worsened by certainpolitical factors. If after February 7, a measure of politicalstability and certainty is gained, economic activities may bepursued in an atmosphere of confidence necessary for them tobe sustained.

Second, the importance of this election stem from thegravity of the challenge which insurgency poses to our nationallife. To my mind, the real fear here comes from two sources.One is that the failure of our leaders to overcome the economiccrisis or at the very least to start on a patti away from it willbolster the claims of the armed sectors of our society. And verymuch related to this is the seeming indifference of still many ofour people to the seriousness of the insurgent challenge tothe democratic way of life. There might be something psychological in this difficulty in coming to terms with the obvious. But Ibelieve that this sense of false security should be shaken off 1from the national psyche. The process has been started duringthe election campaign. Whoever wins must face the task ofharnessing the national will even as he or she must decisivelyconfront the menace of fratricidal violence.

No less important in the coming presidential election isthe question of faith and hope involved. I refer to the faith of themajority in the electoral process as the most acceptable form:

of leadership selection and their hope in its continued viabilityin the Philippines.

In the past, the Philippines was said to be the showcaselor democracy in Asia. Today, it provides the testing ground forthe democratic process in the transfer of power. What is atstake in the coming presidential erecttcn is not the form butthe substance of democracy.

To be sure, a free, honest, and orderly elections is not thebe-all and end-all of democracy. As an American politicalscientist defined democracy, it is "the instrument for theconstruction of a civilization in which four ideals are pursued."(Charles Frankel, The Democratic Prospect, 19862). Theseideals are the consent of the governed, an open society,individual autonomy, and responsible government.

Certainly, however, it is the electoral process which bringsthe approximations of these ideals into play. It is a processwherein the consent of the governed and the responsibility ofthe government are merged in a procedure for accountability.To the extent that leaders are made accountable for their acts

: in office and to the extent that the electorate can enforce theirjudgment through the ballot, to that extent the electoralprocess will be a success.

Moving away from the Philippine context, and looking atthe electoral process in general as a system of leadership,democracy has been a Pandora's box of mixed blessings:separation of powers that assures freedom but also invitesparalysis, a ready access to popular power that encouragespublic accountability but can also be translated, in the handsof a demagogue, into an irresistible tyranny.

But always, for all its faults, it offers the repealed opportunity to start afresh so that, in time!governments and societies~may yet achieve the promised balance of order and freedom,accountability and justice, in which they can live and work inpeace.

DALANGIN NG BUONG BAYAN

Delivered by President Edgardo J. Angara duringthe Prayer-Seminar held on 2 February 1986 at theAraneta Coliseum, sponsored by R.E.F.a.R.M. AFP

Movement.

Limang araw mula ngayon, hahakbang ang buong sambavanan patungo sa hinaharap ng lipunang Pillptno.

Oumadalangin tayo sa paglago, pamumulaklak atpamumunga ng punla na tayong lahat ang naqtanirn. SiPangulong Marcos, sa kanyang pagbibigay-kalayaan na maqpaslya ang bayan para sa kinabukasan nita, ay nagpunla ngpaq-aatav ng sarili sa paglago ng demokrasya. Ang Oposisyon,sa kanilang pagkakapit-bisig sa nqalan ng pagkakaisa,paglimot sa mga pan sari ling ambisyon, ay nagbinhi ng katatagan sa sistema ng balota, Ang Korte Suprema, sa kanyangpagpapasiyang hayaan ang sambayanan ang bumatas ng tinigsa parnarnaqttan ng halalan, ay tumulong upang ang tatamnanglupa ay malinang nang mufinq maging luntian ang dernokrasva.

Sa kanila, may dapat lingunin at pasalarnatan ang bayansa paqtahak sa kinabukasan. Sakai tayong lahat sa nagingtanawin ng buhay ng demokrasya. Ang buong bayan ay kumilos. Bawat isa sa attn ay naging bahagi ng pagtatanim, bawatisa sa atin ay may ginampanang bahagi sa paglago ng punlang kalayaan.

Ang mga lider-sibiko ay kumilos at nagsalita. Angsimbahan ay pumalaot sa temporal na pakikisangkot. Ang milltar ay nanumpa ng dalisay na pangangalaga. Ang mga kabataanay nagsatinig og pananalig at kawalan ng pananalig. Ang mgatagapagtaguyod ng lapian ay sumalunqa sa buong lipunan, .nagparinig ng mga tinig: galit, nagpapaunawa, naqrnamalasakit,nagpapasilakbo, ngunit tuwina'y lurnataplt sa damdamin ngating pagmamahal sa sari Ii at sa buong lahi. Bawat isang Pilipino ay hindi nasiyahan sa payak na pagboto, bawat tsa'y nais

na maging bahagi wari ng isang pambansang gawain, hindi,parasasarili, kundi parasa lahat,

Bakit tayo nagkakaganito? Sakit tayo nagbigkis sa ganitong mithiin?

Aking mga kapatid na Pilipino, aog halatan sa ikaplto n9 :Pebrero ay nagpapatibay n9 sting pananalig sa uri ng parnumuhay na ipinamana n9 kasaysayan sa attn, isang pamanangnaging bahagi ng pambansang pag-unlad at naging bahagi nglating pag-ibig.

Minamahal nating lahat ang mga pamana ng kasaysayan. :Mahal natin ang rnqa pamanang institusyon sa ating buhay:republikanismo, kalayaan sa pananampalataya, kalayaan sapaq-iislp at pagsasalita, militar bilang tauba ng pangangalagasa kabutihang panlahi at panlahat, kalayaang mabuhay avonsa pagtingin sa sarili, kapangyarihan ng taonq magtakda n9pambarisang buhay, pagkat avon kay Mabini, ang kaqustuhanng tao ay kaqustuhan ng Diyos.

Kaya tavo naririto ngayon at isang buong lahing dumadalangin, ay sapagkat tayo ay bahagi ng daloy ng kasaysayan.Ang kaluluwa n9 demokrasya ay nakatanim at may ugat nanakabaong buong lalim at buang lawak, sa matatag na lupang ating pagkalahi. Hindi ito namatay sa mga panahon ngpananakop at panq-aapi. May mga panahong waring ito'ywalang takas, ngunlt ito'y buhay sa ating kamalayaan bilang

lahi, hindi tumatakas sa kaluluwa ng isang Pili pino.Ito ang tunay na kahalagahan ng halalan sa ikapito ng

Pebrero. May mga pufltlkonq magwawagi at magagapi, ngunitang tunay ng maqtataqurnpay, kung ating iibigin ay angkapangyarihan ng buong bayan.

Ang Pebrero siyete, ay unang ha~,~ang para sa tunay napagbabagong buhay-bansa. Pagkatapos ng halalan, paghupang alimpuyo at mga talumpati, pagkalipas ng tindi ng tunggalian, isang katotohanan ang dapat nating harapin: na tayo ay .bahagi ng isang lipunan, tayo ay bahaqi ng isang pagkalahi.Pagkatapos ng lahat ng ito, maghaharap tayo at maqsasarna,hanggang sa wakas, bUang magkakapatid, magkakapitbahay,magkalalawigan, magkakasama, magkakalahi. MCJli· tayongmananalangin bilanq Pilipino sa ating mga simbahan, ang atingmga anak ay maglalaro at maq-aaral sa kani-kanilang mgapaaralan, sarna-sarnatayang lalakad sa stnapupunan ng bayan,iisang diwa, at iisang lahi.

Tayo at tayo rin, mga kayumangging anak ng Maykapal.ang magsasama hanggang sa dulo ng buhay-bansa.

Sa ganltcng pananaw, may pananagutan taycng dumalangin at kumilos para sa lumipas, para sa kasalukuyan atpara sa hinaharap.

COVER STORY

The story of an institution, like moslstories in life, is,more often than not, composed from the results of men'seternal game with time. A game where triumph's definition depends upon one thousand and one particulars;some created by time and others by man, but alwayschanging.

So, with each passing year, the UP storv changes. Forthe game is always afoot. And, .in the university, all areplayers. And, as lhey are wont to think, the whole nationforms an audience. At times, the latter tells the story. Atother times, the players do lhetelling themselves.

But no matter who does the telling, one often wonderswhat things have been missed out. Whelher the sonorousvoices of toast or the discordant notes-of judgement aredrowning out the softer lanes that speak of men andwomen slriving mighlily 10 do their best.

It is therefore reassuring to know that, for at leastone day each year, one has the chance to listen 10 different voices, notes and tones that articulate the UPstorv,That opportunitv comes during Foundation Day (June

18) each year.

SPEECHES

(Remarks of President Edgardo J. Angara at the1986 u.P. General Atumni-Fecuttv Homecoming and

Reunion on 19 April 1986, Fiesta Pavilion. Manila Hotel.)

The theme for our general alumni and faculty homecomingthis year-"For Thee United"-goes to the very heart of it all.For homecoming is really about loyalty and faith. It is aboutloyalty to the ideals of the University and faith in their timelessness. This is for all alumni of the University of the Philippines, the basis of our un lty.

So we come together as one. We look beyond the thingsapparent which separate us each from the other. Thoughseparated by years and exerience, profession and calling,beliefs and causes, we sweep all these aside to reaffirm ouroneness with the University.

Within its folds, we are all seekers. We left the University,each in our own time, to continue after our own manner theparticular searches we had begun as bearers of the University's

light. We return once more as seekers. Primarily not to judge orbe judged, but more to reaffirm that we are continuing in ourefforts to find that which we must. Be it some notion of thetruth or our particular place as citizens of one nation or ourparticular contributions to our avocation or calling.

We did not go through the University each to be remouldedin the likeness of the other. If anything, the Universityencouraged us to rejoice in our own individuality and to seekexpressions for it, in thought and .in rdeed. Nor did the tjnt

versttv even ask what it should. That we as individuals beunited behind the ideals and traditions for which it stands for.To truth and reason; to quality and integrity; to service tocountry and people. No, I have never for once believed that theUniversity imposed uoon us these ideals. We imposed it uponourselves, fully realizing that we rightfully owed it not only toour Alma Mater, but more so to our people.

So we come together now as individuals united behind theseideals. As alumni of the University, we constitute a group thatis characterized by diversity in thoughts, beliefs. creeds, positions or stations in life, and causes. But as alumni, we are allunited behind the University, We are pledged not only to its

e"'Cl

continued existence. But we would like to see it continue todevelop, even as we continue to mature. We would like to see itever capable of meeting its promise to our society as a University for Filipinos, even as we continue to seek fulfillment ofour individual dreams.

The alumni nave proven their loyalty to their Alma Mater in agrand manner during the Diamond Jubilee. There is no needto elaborate on it as we were all there. When the University tookstock of itself and expressed its doubts about its future, thealumni unhesitatingly responded and helped to establish theguarantees for the University to continue to pursue itscommitment to quality education.

I would like to believe that our unity behind the University is amanifestation of the larger things that we owe to ourcountrymen. It is a logical expression of the communityresponsibility we have assumed from the time we first passedthrough the portals of our Alma Mater. And it stems from theconviction that the moment that the University begins toworkship like a false idol excellence for its own sake, so beginsits betrayal of society's trust.

It may sometimes be said of our alumni that they seem tohave this obsession for leadership. But if they do have thisoverwhelming drive to lead in government, in the professions,in science and in the arts, it is only because they want to do thebest they possibly can by our people.

And so as we are united for Alma Mater, I like to think thatthat unity means being united as Filipinos. We have demonstrated our oneness only recently.

In our conduct of ourselves last February, we have been toldand we tell ourselves that we have amazed the world. And yet, Ithink that we awed ourselves even more. For Who among uscould have predicted that with the division and complacenciesof the last fourteen years such unity was still possible.

That shining hour will be enshrined in the pages of ourhistory. But there are danger signs that the day of glory is goingto be short. The bonds of unity So recently reestablished seemto be stretching again. One is tempted to ask, isthis a flaw inthe national character that we must be brought to the brinkbefore we look beyond the shadows of our footsteps. And thatonce past that brink, we go back to trudging our solitary ways.

To remain united for the nation, this is the challenge to ouralumni. To remain united is the best way that we can do wellnot only by our Alma Mater but by our people.

(Keynote Address of President Edgardo J. Angaraat the Opening Ceremonies of the Training Course

on Netionet tnteqreted Energy Planning on 7 May 1987)

In light of the ongoing planning for the economic recoveryof the country, the holding of this National Integrated EnergyPlanning Course is quite auspicious. Energy as you know is acrucial factor in any economic activity, especially for the Philippines whose energy requirements are supplied mostly fromthe outside.

We have attained significant successes in displacing oilimports with local alternative energy sources. And yet thecountry is still confronted with the high cost of energy. AmongAsian nations, the Philippines reportedly has one of thehighest in terms of the cost of electricity-one of the mostcommon and useful forms of energy.

Energy planning is the father to energy policies. But thelatter depends ultimately on technology, economics and institutions. Proper, wise and forward-looktnq policies are required.ThUS, kit is important that a coordinated planning process isshared across the appropriate units in government, andbetween government and the private sector.

At this juncture of our national development, we have verylittle margin for error in policy directions. Energy plan must becarefully worked out in order to fit into the overall developmentplan.

As we all know, analysis and planning activities can begrouped into two major portions, namely, descriptiveassessment and analysis and decision-oriented analysis andpolanning. The first part consists of the most basic initialinformation gathering and descriptive activities. There is verystrong indication of our pre-occupation and obsession for thiskind of activity. Many surveys and data have been collected forundefined problems, decisions and for undefined decisionmakers.

Decision-oriented analysis and planning, on the other hand,points toward specific decisions, implementation efforts,project selection. It is usually dependent upon functionalinstitutions other than an energy planning unit. This type ofanalysis is more focused and is usually treated in greater depthand complexity. One example is the development of a detailedenergy conservation program.

This national training course promises to put forward abroad planning approach that encompasses demographictrends, economic activity at the rnacro-econornlc level, sectoralenergy demand, resource supply and technology analysis andenerqy-environrnent-related impacts and management. Butwhile the emphasis will be on the tools and techniques 01energy planning we must not forget that sophistication cannnever substitute for a full understanding of the impacts ofenergy decisions on the rest of the society. The success ofintegrated energy planning models, as they are aptly labelled,depends not only on the integrity of information generated. Thecritical factor is the understanding and acceptance of thepublic and private sector managers and the 'political leaderswho will eventually make the decisions. Too, all interest groupsmust articulate their stakes in the planning process. This willnot only facilitate acceptance but also hasten the process ofimplementation.

The other issue that I would like to raise is the immensity ofthe processing of information required for this kind of activity.Surely the use of computers in energy data processlnq willsubstantially facilitate the generation of accurate and timelyinformation and in the process bring the decision maker closerto the analysis process. This is another important key to thesuccess of implementing integrated energy planning. Theinclusion of computer-assisted energy models in the coursestresses this important point. .

The challenge for adapting and exploiting the tools andtechniques of energy planning against the backdrop of theserealities should therefore be foremost in our mind. With thebattery of resource persons arranged by our sponsor, the Asianand Pacific Energy Planning Network, and local resourcepersons who bring with them a wealth of distinctive expertisetempered with experience and good judgment, I find no reasonwhy the course cannot succeed in achieving its objectives.

It is my further hope that the participants 01 this course willfind immediate use for techniques learned When they go backto their respective agencies.

Finally, on behalf of the University of the Philippines, I wouldlike to convey our sincerest gratitude and congratulations tothe Asian and Pacific Energy Planning Network through itssecretariat, the Asian and Pacific Development Center, forsponsoring the course and for providing the logistical support;to the Ministry of Energy and the Asian Development Bank forproviding us technical assistance in orgizing the course; to theU.P. College of Engineering for hosting the course and to theU.P. National Engineering Center and the U.P. EngineeringResearch and Development Foundation, Inc. for providing thevenue and secretariat and for managing the logistics,respectively.

To everyone, I wish you Success.Thank you.

Batangas City on 18 May 1986.)

Mahal kong mga ~apanalig sa oemokrasya;

Hindi magtatagal, tayo ay susulat ng isang bagong SaligangBatas. Hindi magtatagal, ang sambayanang Pilipino ay magsasadiwa ng Konstitusyong muling gagabay sa ating buhaysa 100ng mga panahon.

Ang ating kasaysayan at ang ating pambansang buhay aylaging may gabay ng saligang batas. Ang ating nakaraan ayisang landasin ng mga saligang batas. Sa ating mahabang paglalakbay bilang tahl laging may tang law ng Konstitusyon saating dinadaanan. Katulad ng isang malago at matatag napuno, ang lilim ng ating nakaraan ay saligang betas. Ang ugatnita ay saligang batas,

Tayo ay mapalad na ang ating kasaysayan ay may diwangkonstitusyunal. Tayo ang kauna-unahang republika sa Asya nasumulat ng ating sariling saligang batas, ang Konstitusyon ngMalolos noong 1898. Ito ang ating unang pagtatangka naipaklta sa daigdig na tayo ay nagnanais na mabuhay sa ilalimog patnubay ng isang oagsasariling parnahataanq ginagabayan09 sariling batas. Ngunit tayo ay sinakop og Estados Unidos atang pagsasarili ay hindi nagtagal. Noong 1935,nagpatibay tayong isang Konstitusyon, isang saligang batas ng pagsasarili,ngunit kailangan pang ito ay iharap upang pagtibayin ngPangulo ng Estados Unidos.

Noon pa man, nadarama na nating ang Konstitusyon og 1935ay isang saligang batas na hindi tavo ang nagtanim, hinditumugon sa ating tunay na pangangailangan. Isinilang iyon ngisang kolonyal na nakaraan. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit noong1969, pinagtibay ng dating Konggreso na tumawag ng isangkombensiyang konstitusyonal.

'Ngunit ang Kombensiyong Konstitusyonal ng Hunyo 1971 aylnabutan ng pagdating ng Martial Law noong Setyembre 1972.Naong 1973, isang bagong Konstitusyon ang isinilanq. Ngunitmay mga probisyong parang inihulma avon sa layunin ngMartial Law. Ang mga susog sa mga sumunod na taon aylalong nagpatatag sa balangkas politikal ng nakaraangpamahalaan.

Makalipas -ang labintatlong taon, muli na naman tayonglilikha ng isang bagong Konstitusyon. Noong 1971, ang atingangarap ay palitan ang saligang batas na may ctwa ng ating

kasaysayang kolonyal. Ngayon magbabanghay tayo ng bagongKonstitusyon na bunga ng kalayaan, ng demokrasya, ng lakasng tao, at hindi isang kapirasong dokumentong para lamang saisang tao at yuyurak sa ating diwa ng republikanismo.

Ang ating hinahanap ay isang saligang batas na ibinungang lakas bayan na tumayo at nagtagumpay sa ngalan ng laya.

Ang layang ito na halos walang dugong ibinuhos paramakamit, ang siyang punla ng bagong Konstitusyon. Anglakas-bayan ipinakita ng mga Pilipino na hinangaan ng daigdigay siyang matabang lupa na pagpupunlaan. At ang bagongsambayanang Pilipino, na isinilang ng bagong pananaw at layaang siyang magtatanim. Ang sangkap na ating gagamitin ayang pananalig sa sarili, ang pananalig sa demokrasya, angpananalig sa kalayaan at ang pananalig sa Dakilang Maykapal.

Ang ating pagtitipon ngayon ay isang magandang palatandaan na ang bayan ang siyang tunay na batayan ng darating naKonstitusyon. Ang kinabukasan ng bayan ay ibinabalangkas atang diwa ng demokrasyang itinatanim natin ay siyang bungangating aanihin sa hinaharap.

Ang karapatang magsatinig ng damdamin at kagustuhan ngbayan ay hindi isang bagay na madaliang ipinagkaloob sa atin.Ito ay karapatang ating napagtagumpayan. Ito ang b~nga ngunang hakbang sa kalayaan. Tayo ngayon ay nasa yugto ngpagpapatuloy n9 marami pang mga hakbang.

Kaya nga napakahalaga ang ibubunga ng aling mgapagpupulong. Ang magiging bunga ng ating mga talakayan ayhindi sigaw sa dilim, 0 suntok sa buwan 0 tinig sa gubat.

Aalingawngaw ang ating tinig ngunit tayo ay maririnig. Angating tinig dito sa lbaba ang magiging tinig ng nasa itaassapagkat tayo ay nagsasalita hindi ng aUng sariling pananaliglamang kundi ng mga minimithi ng bagong sambayanan.

Ito ang itinuturing kong lakas ng ating saligang batas. Ito ayisang Konstitusyong magmumula sa atin at para sa atin. Hinogna ang panahon sa pagsilang ng isang saligang batas ngSambayanang Pilipino.

Kaya't matatag ang ating pananalig sa tagumpay. Walanginibig ang bayang hindi nagaganap, pagka't ang tinig og bayanay tinig ng Diyoa, at ang buong lakas bayan ay buong lakas ngMaykapal. Ngayon ang itinakdang panahon para sa tunay naKonstitusyon ng laya. Kung tayo'v mabibigo, marahil, wala ngiba pang panahon.

Tunay na isang buong bayan ang magbabanghay ng atinbagong Saligang Batas. Tayo'y mula sa sinapupunan ogsambayanan- kinatawan ng mga magsasaka, kabataan,edukasyon, militar, mamumuhunan, lider sibiko at lider sakalakal. Tayo ay isang bayang magtatagumpay. Iyan ang atingpangako sa ating sarili. Ito aog ating pangako sa darating.

It is in this spmt then that we need to appreciate this historicopportunity to write a new Constitution we can really call ourown. And this means that we-all of us must participate inmaking our fundamental law.

Oonstitution-rnaklnq, contrary to the belief of many, is notthe exclusive province of experts. The technical part ofreducing principles into rules of law will necessarily require theintervention of .experts, But constitutlon-makmq, in a trulydemocratic society, must perforce be a process by Which apeople of a nation distil into concrete general rules theirprofoundest sentiments which they believe .should bind themwith the force of law. The act of writing the constituton issimply the last stage of its process of advancing views,debating ideas and submitting proposals at every stage of.which the people effectively intervene.

This singular opportunity to draw up a new Filipino Constlturton is founded upon principles for which the Februaryrevolution was waged and won: people power as opposed totyranny; the integrity of human life and respect for basic humanrights as opposed to human degradation adherence to the ruleof law as opposed to arbitrary rule. These are principles that'must find its way in whatever formulation in the new Constitution.

But a constitution canot be an instrument that will addressthe minutiae of all conceivable human problems. If this wereundertaken, there will never be an end to the making of theconstitution. Besides, no person or group of persons has theomniscience to foresee the future. Changes in various fields ofhuman endeavors will inevitably require the intervention of thelaw in determining the rights and duties of persons. But theseare matters Which are better left to the lawmakers of theparticular time who are more familiar with the changes and whotherefore are better placed to determine the requirements ofjustice in such situation.

The basic question that must then be addressed in constitution-making is how to arrive at a formulation that would bebroad enough to effectively mediate the conflict of intereststhat may arise in the distant future but detailed enough topreclude unlimited discretion and abuse of power.

A constitution must provide tor,! government. It must definethe scope and limitations of its powers vis-a·vis its citizens andother pe~sons which may come within its territory. But apartfrom the general framework, it cannot petrify intoconstitutional rules governmental departments and offices,that will hamper govern~ent organization or reorganizaflonthat might be dictated by· the requirements of economy andefficiency. It must contain a bill of rights to ensure fair play andthe maximum protection of human rights. But it should notpore~ude the adoption and amendment of procedures whichfrom time to time are regarded as the best guarantee of thoseends. The constitution must lay down the basic norms 01 socialjustice.

(Welcome Remarks of President Edgardo J. Angaraat the Second Grscieno Lopez-Jaena National Summer

Workshop for Community Journalism read by Executive VicePresident Irene R. Cortes on 19 May 1986, IMC Auditorium.)

President Arturo Borja! of the National Press Club,Director Mat Defensor of the Publishers Association of the

PhilippinesDistinguished Guests,Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am pleased to convey a cordial welcome to all the participants in the 1986 Lopez-Jaena Seminar-Workshop in Community Journalism, an undertaking made possible through thecombined efforts of the National Press Club, the PublishersAssociation of the Philippines, and the University of thePhilippines.

Encouraged by the success of last year's seminar, we areglad to be able to hold his second seminar-workshop. The maingoal of this training program is to improve the competence ofcommunity newspaper editors; and their staff in putting out apublication that would-reflect the interests, safeguard the welfare and at the same time enhance the progress of our ruralcommunities.

The provincial press provides a vital link in keeping thereading public well-informed, with special attention to the bulkof our population residing in the provinces. Indeed publishing anewspaper far from the urban centers is a much more difficulttask. The provincial editor is often confronted with antiquatedprinting equipment, inadequate supplies, meager advertising,fluctuating circulation, and 'poorly trained staff-to mentiononly a few of the numerous problems he encounters.

Yet the provincial editor carries on as best as he could underthese adverse circumstances. We can easily surmise that thetypical editor of a provincial newspaper has to cope withgreater hardships and make more sacrifices than hiscounterpart in the city in charge of editing the metropolitannewspaper. If we are to help in easing the burden ofdisseminating news to the distant areas of our archipelago,then it is the editor of the provincial press whom we·must firsthelp as being more urgently in need of assistance.

It is in seminars like this that the trainees can be given anoverview of the society wherein they live and thus perceive theunderlying forces which give rise to dynamic change. That iswhy we have a number of professors who will deliver lectureson such pertinent topics as legal responsibilities in the contextof press freedom, labor relations affecting the journalist, andthe impact of communication research as a basis for Intorrnation policy.

Experienced editors and journalists have also been asked toshare with you their insights on the profession as well as waysof sharpening reportorial and analytical skills. Moreover representatives of the national administration will be on hand toexplain the restructuring of the government information systemso that you may be more conversant with the policies andthrust of the new government under the guidance of ouresteemed President Corazon Aquino,

This Second Lopoez-Jaena Seminar-Workshop in CommunityJournalism has been designed specifically to meet your needsand thereby foster excellence in the role of the provincial pressto uphold truth and freedom, We have just gone through arevolution during those four historic days of February, and withthe country starting anew under a leadership overwhelminglysupported by the people, the press has assumed a morevigorous role. We hope that through the training you willundergo in this week-long seminar, you will emerge betterequipped journalists to fulfill vour hazardous and delicatemlsslon.

We at the University of the Philippines hope that your participation in this seminar will be a valuable and worthwhileexperience, a significant step toward your professional careerdevelopment. We wish you the best. May your stay in ourDiliman campus be fruitful indeed.

A week from now, we will meet again at the close of thisseminar and let me know then if the training program shallhave measured up to your expectations and our aspiration.

Thank you and good day.

(Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at the RotaryInternational District 380 Conference (DtSCON '86),

Representing the Educational Sector on 22 May 1986at the PICC Plenary Hall.)

We are all gathered here-professionals, civic leaders, theyouth, the religious and the military-as we did once in thosefour days of February. In February, we demonstrated to thewhole world our unity and solidarity as a people. We ourselveswere amazed even as the world was surprised at the success 01our pacifist revolution. Today, we are together once again notso much to sing the praises for that event as much as to ra~ly

the solidarity of the people for the future. We are here toreaffirm that sense of unity and creativity and harness its powerin the service of national reconstruction.

In rebuilding our nation, we have no one to rely on butourselves. No foreign friend and outside help, no matter howmagnanimous and well-rneaninq, can bring to our country thepeace and progress we desire. We alone and no one else canmake the future that we want.

The enthusiasm and euphoria in the wake 01 the Februaryrevolution is still there. Our people are still keen on seeing thnew government succeed. But some events in the past montwould seem to sow seeds of disunity and instability onceagain. All at once the lighting in the countryside is on the rise.The labor front is restive,

The business community understandably is reacting withanxiety. And the process of national reconciliation is on trial.

It is the urgency of this creeping instability that we must alladdress and arrest at this time.- For the victory in Februarywould be meaningless if, so soon after, we fall again intofratricidal fighting and factional strife. We owe this solemnduty not only to the veterans of the February revoruton butmore so to our children. We do not have the luxury ct time. Wecannot take this confusion in stride. We must regain our senseof national direction. We must pursue our highest priority withdispatch and dedication. And that is the early restoration ofconstitutional government.

The best instrument of a free and liberated people to achievethe goal of political and social stability is a constitution. It is inthe constitution that the profoundest sentiments and aspirations of our people can be expressed and articulated. It is theconstitution, as the expression of our collective will, that willprovide for a government that we desire, a government that willengage our total commitment and loyalty. The constitution willensure peace, harmony and sobriety because it will uphold ourhuman dignity and secure our home and property. Theconstitution will guarantee that we will live and work underfreedom, It will insure to all of us the modicum of civility,respect and tolerance so necessary in a civilized society. It will

once againgive us that sense of national purpose.That is the reason why I believe the making of the new

constitution is extremely vital. For only on a foundation of thesecu~ity of person, home and community can we begin torebuild our country's economy. If a person feels secure abouthis home and his job then he will give unqualified support andloyalty to his government. Onty a Filipino who is truly free canbe creative, productive and enterprising.

And So everyone of us in this hall has a stake in the insutution of a regular constitution. Constitution making is not forexperts alone. Everyone of us must participate so that ouraspirations and sentiments will be recorded.

And towards this end, we are happy to provide to thismovement the studies of the U.P. Constitution Project. DistrictGovernor Fernando Pedrosa and Mr. Antonio Cantero havegraciously accepted this offer and that the Project: PilipinoLahmg Maipagmamalaki will be employed as a channel 01dissemination.

Such an educational campaign on the new constitution is Ibelieve, an urgent undertaking. As we stand at this importantjuncture 01 our history all of us here owe our fellow countrymenthat noble duty So that we can lay down the foundation ofpeace and stability the country urgently needs to secure ourfreedom and economic well being.

In a very profound sense, then, we, the citizens 01 this Republic, are indeed the key 10 the rebuilding of our society, Notonly are our energies the driving force of this reconstruction:not only are our aspirations the spirit behind reconstructionour combined power is the only force that can prevent us fromsllpping back into the past.

We can do all these if we are organized, as President Aquinopointed out on one occasion. where she urged the institution.anzatton of people's power. This Rotary initiative must be seenas part of that effort. Only we, indeed, the citizens of thiscountry, can achieve the development that we all know thiscountry needs. And only we can help ourselves. Trulyyou-we-are indeed the key.

(Message of President Edgardo J. Angara at the ClosingCeremonies of the fMC National Summer Workshop on

Community Journalism on 24 May 1986.)

Let me just point out on this occasion. the role of the cornmunity press in an archipelagic nation such as ours.

At the risk of belaboring the obvious, we are a nation 01 7,107islands. Not only are our people physically separated by waterand terrain, they are likewise divided by the plurality 01 70languages and dialects spoken in various regions.

Each of our regions are distinguished from the other bydivergent local customs and traditions.

Geographic and language barriers have thus created in ourcountry more divisiveness than unity; more regionalism thancooperation.

Notwithstanding these, and the troubled existence we havehad, we nevertheless pulled through this long, as one nation.And this I believe is because of the fact that the things thatbind us together are stronger than those which pull us apart.Last February, our nation teetered precariously at the brink.Fourteen years of Stress and strain threatened to pull I as downinto an abyss. Somehow, we survived as a nation as we alwayshave survived all challenges in the past.

Now we reach a point and a time for consolidating our peopleand our nation. In this endeavor, we will have to go beyond ourgeographical and lAnguage barriers. Let's use the art andscience 01 communication for the cause of national inteqration.

More specifically, what the community press can do is tobridge over gaps, physical barriers or otherwise. That bridge wemust build with ideas, information and sentiments, providingour countrymen allover the archipelago who ar-e separated byboth geography and custom and language with a point ofconnection.

But there is an immediate task at hand in which I wouldenlist the help of the members of the community press. Thenation is about to frame a new Constitution. If this Constitutionis to be truly reflective of the profoundest sentiments andaspirations of the people, the community journalists shouldhelp to get the people involved. You can do that in two ways.The first is 10 write and discuss the major issues ot the newcharter. The second is to invite the people for comments andsuggestions and to publicize that feedback.

That is an urgent challenge that the community press shouldtake-a very noble one because it involves no lesS' than theWriting of our basic charter.

Thank you lor participating in this workshop and I wish youall the best 01 luck.

(Opening Remarks of President Edgardo J. Angaraettne First Asian Fisheries Forum on 26 May 1986

at the PICC Meeting Room 5.)

Thank you very much Mr. McClean.

Let me pay my respects to the Minister of Agriculture andFood, Ramon Mitra, Jr., the President of the Society, Dr. Chua,Chancellor Rola, qirector Malig, Professor Roger JUliano.Professor Hirano, participants, colleagues and friends.

1 join Chancellor Rola in welcoming you to Manila andexpress to you the gratitude of the University of the Philippinesfor giving us the honor of co-hosting this very important gathering, the First Asian Fisheries Forum. We applaud this majorinitiative taken by individual fisheries scientists as Or. Chuapointed out.

This forum is very significant in several aspects. The firstis that this forum underscores the urgency of Asia's foodproblem. The second is that we hope that at the end of the day,we shall be able to convince the public and the policy makersthat modern technology is a key factor in increasing foodsupply. And. thirdly. this gathering perhaps indicates that weAsians have got the will and the talent to provide for our ownsustenance. Therefore it is most encouraging to us to seescientists from allover Asia as well as from those who comeoutside Asia, coming together to discuss the challenge andopportunity in Asian fisheries. We hope that the free flow ofideas and experiences among the scientists will prove valuableespecially as you wi II tackle Asia's most perennial quest, whichIs how to produce more food for an increasing number ofpeople and how to produce it faster than our population growthrate.

I suspect that fishermen all over Asia have a common lot.Perhaps the problem an Indonesian fisherman laces is almostsimilar to the problem that the Filipino fisherman or theChinese fisherman or the Vietnamese fisherman faces. Hisproblem is not how tocatch more fish because the resourcesfrom which fish comes from are dwindling. I think his baste andfundamental need is how we can help conserve the sourcesof fish and how we can help him to preserve the fish harvest.

The Philippine fisheries situation is perhaps a typical casestudy. Our population has rapidly grown. It is now 54 million.By the end 01 the century we will be around 75 million. OUfphysical resources, of course, are limited and finite so we mustbegin to grow more food from our seas and rivers and use ouringenuity and talent to extract more food faster than our population growth.

But today the same fishing effort exerted by our fishermen afew years back brings in a fewer catch. That emphasizes thefact that the fishing grounds are being depleted. Many of ourcoastal fishery resources have been exhausted and in somecases, according to some of our marine scientists, the optimum sustained yield has already been exceeded. Of course.the higher energy cost, perhaps the low purchasing power ofour peso and the general economic slowdown in this countryhave also all. contributed to impoverishing the lot of the smallfishermen.

~-ca:,...=='"

There are, according to the figure supplied to me, 700,000Filipinos in the country dependent on fishing for livelihood.And if the average number-or a Filipino family is Qetween 5 and7, take 5 for instance, there are 3.5 million Filjpino s dependentfor their living on fishing. And like the subsistence farmer,we must also worry about the lot of the subsistence fishermen.

And so it seems to us that the danger to the fisheries resources comes from the improper management of theserenewable resources. The fisheries yield for instance in thePhilippines cannot be maintained at a high level for very longunless greater attention is focused on resource management.Perhaps immediate and urgent attention must be paid toreducing destructive and wasteful fishing practices such asdynamite fishing, the use of poison and fine-meshed nets. Andperhaps even limiting the size and catch and enforce that quotain orderto ensure sustainable yields.

Again, fish spoilage in this country is terribly high. I attendedonce a seminar that one of our colleagues sitting here presidedat and he said that the 10% of the fish that we catch in thiscountry gets spoiled and that is almost the total production ofone Western European country. So the magnitude of spoilageand wastage is quite high in this country.

And so I think it is incumbent upon us in the University tojoin and cooperate very strongly with our governmentscientists and colleagues in the private sector to help focus onthe main problem that confronts tlsheries. We -would like, forinstance, the university curriculum to now give more emphasis onfish resources management rather than just fish capture. Wewould like to have more research done on stock assessmentand population dynamics. We would like more studies doneon the load capacity of our various fishlnq grounds. Over all, wewould want a radical shift in orientation on fisheries resources.I believe the University of the Philippines car) help much.

So on this note, allow me to conclude these brief remarks,and congratulate the Asian Fisheries Society and its council inholding this gathering here in Manila and make this forumpossible. I also wish to thank the donor agencies andinstitutions Who have helped make this gathering feasible.

I now declare the First Asian Fisheries Forum open and wishyou all a very successful meeting.

Thank you very much.

(Remarks of President Edgardo J. Angara duringthe Dinner of the Philippine-Swedish Society

on 3 June 1986 at the Manila Polo Club.)

The Philippine-Swedish Society is really the brainchild of thedynamic Swedish Ambassador to the Philippines, MadameCecilia Nettetbrandt. Sometime last year, she invited a smallgroup of Filipinos to lunch at her residence and broached theidea of putting up a society composed of Filipinos and resident Swedes to promote social and cultural relations betweenthe Philippines and Sweden. The Filipinos wholeheartedlywelcomed the idea and together with a group of residentSwedes, organized the Philippine-Swedish Society.

The primary objective of the Society, as stated in its charter,would be "to promote social and cultural relations between thePhilippines and Sweden by undertaking projects which willenable the two countries to know, exchange and share eachother's social, cultural, historicat, educational and artisucheritage." Aside from the cultural and social aspects of therelationship between the two countries, however, Swedenalready has a substantial commercial presence in the Philippines. There are about 15 subsidiaries of Swedish companiesin the Philippines at present. To count the Swedish companieshaving representative offices or agents here, there are almost ahundred Swedish companies with a business presence in thePhilippines today. Among the companies, the oldest is PhimcoIndustries, Inc., having been established way back in 1926.

The Swedish companies in the Phifipplnes today make products such as the most advanced appliances, pharmaceuticals,

mining equipment, construction equipment, packaging rnateriuals, heating materials and other products which areevidence of the first class quality of Swedish science andtechnology. Indeed, the modern technology that Swedishuniversities and business firms have to offer can greatlybenefit the Philippines if the proper linkages are made.Considering its present stage of economic and technologicaldevelopment it would be especially beneficial for Ihe Philippines 10avail of Sweden's world-class science and technology.nology.

There is of course a grOWing awareness in the Philippinesof Sweden's culture and society-from the wortd-famous rockgroup, ABBA to the equally acclaimed film director IngmarBergman, from the nobel prize to Bjorn Borg. We also assumethat there is a growing awareness in Sweden about the Philippines. If the successful February revolution was truly a globalmedia event, then the people of Sweden probably did not rntssthe telecast of that crucial event in our history. The social,cultural, historical, ekducational and artistic heritage of eithercountry, however, is still a vast universe for the other country toexplore, exchange and share.

The Phillppine-Swedish Society, therefore, hopes to achievefriendship, understanding and mutual assistance betweenSweden and the Philippines. The Society hopes to increase thetwo countries' mutual awareness and appreciation of eachother's conditions and realities. The Society hopes that,notwithstanding the mountains and the oceans, hands will belinked between the Filipinos and the Swedes.

(Welcome Address to the Freshmen of PresidentEdgardo J. Angara on 9 June 1986, UP Gym.

mead by Executive Vice President Irene R. Cortes.])

I am pleased to welcome you, the members of Class 1990, tothe University of the Philippines.

So you begin your U.P. experience today. If I could describethat experience to you, in as few words as possible, it wou1dbe thus: an adventure for the mind, a refinement of the spiritand a training in citizenship. It is an experience that is enrichedby tradition, but grounded in relevance to the demands of thepresent as well as contemplative of future possibilities.

The U.P. experience is an adventure for the mind becausethe University's training finds its stimulus in the cultivation ofcritical and independent thinking. We believe these two qualities of the mind are the bases for that inquiring intelligencenecessary so that man may live and not merely exist.

For true living is a creative process where the emphasis isnot on limitations, man-rnnade or natural, but on potentialities.The process begins when man strives to understand the natureof his world in order to improve his relationships with othermen. He explores the nature of the world around him so that hemay better adapt to its patterns and forces. It is a process thatrequires curiosity-the capacity to look at things in a differentway, and "to dream of things that never were and ask why not?"It requires a mind that is never stiffened by habit nor reined inby narrow perspectives .

It is the development of such minds that the Universityengages itself in. And we hope that you wi II make it yourpersonal goal as well.

When we speak of academic excellence in the University,we do not mean mere brightness or even an encyclopaedicmastery of knowledge. Academic excellence of course startsfrom a solid groundng in key areas·of human knowledge, thenatural and social sciences as well as the arts. But it does notstop there. For the pursuit of academic excellence must besupported by constant efforts to expand the frontiers in thesediverse fields. And such a quest requires either building uponprevious knowledge or discarding that which no longer meetsthe tests of validity and relevance.

Refinement of spirit in the University is not synonymouswith mastery of the social graces. The University is not a

finishing school. We go beyond veneer polish. Refinement ofthe spirit in the University means the enlargement and uplltt ofthe soul. We encourage you to be receptive to the salutaryinfluences of the arts, literature and philosophy.

For we believe that in a world where there is so much that isprofane, there is also 50 rnucn that is sublime. The nobility ofthe human spirit is the only foil that can prevent us frombending under the materialistic pressures of this world. Whentechnology runs amuck, when blind prejudice seems sometimes to rule. the affairs of men, and when petty minds andunfeeling hearts assault the human race at every turn, we canfind the inspiration and the strength to remain faithful to ouressential humanity in the thoughts and deeds of those whohave sought out the saving graces of men.

But what really gives the U.P. experience its distinctivecharacter is the training in citizenship that it provides. Webelieve that the University training is meaningless if it does notinspire love of country which is manifested through service tothe people.

Thus, we try to instill among our students the conviction thatsociety demands more from those who have nobility of spirit.This is the University's sense of noblesse oblige. When societymakes an accounting of its best and brightest and asks what

•

have you done to make this world better, you will be there toanswer for the University.

(Address of President Edgardo J. Angara during theRecognition Day Program on 18 June 1986,

V.P. Foundation Day, Abe/ardo Hall AUditorium.)

Today, the University of the Philippines marks time onceagain as it celebrates its 78th Foundation Day.

We make use 01 this occasion not for ritual preening, butfor the University to single out and applaud those whoseefforts have given substance to its claim to excellence. Weremind ourselves that the University 'is more than traditionsand structures. Its continued existence derives from humanstriving and its achievements are the results of humanendeavor.

That is the basic reason why today, we honor and recognizethe best among the University community. The scholarlyprofessor and the researcher, the talented student and extensian worker, the dedicated employee and the generousalumnus. They all represent the University's constant strivingfor individual excellence and selfless service.

In short, what I am saying is .tnat this University hascontinued to exist for 78 years, contributing in no smallmeasure to the development of the nation, because it haswithin its fold men and women who not only excel in theirfields, but who also dedicate their lives' and careers to theservice of the University.

Today, we also confer the Order of the Oblation to thosealumni and friends whose generosity and fellowship we highlyvalue.

You will recall that the Order of the Oblation was Createdduring last year's Recognition Day as a way of recognizing permanent gifts to the U.P. Development Fund. Donors to the U.P.Development Fund believe as we do that the Quality of theeducation we deliver in the University rests on the quality of ourstaff. ThUS, their endowment of professorial chairs and grantsallow us to recognize the professional merit and at the sametime augment the salaries of our faculty. Through this, we havebeen able to retain our best taculty members.

Donors of ~150 or more are members of the Regent's List,the highest rank in the Order of the Oblation. We recognizetoday the following individuals and groups Who were alreadyin the high ranks of the Order, but whose recent gifts haveraised them to the Regent's List:

Dr. Juan OuejadaMembers of the Indian CommunityThe Telengtan Foundation

Upsilon Sigma Phi Alumni AssociationTwo groups deserve special mention. The staff, students and

faculty of UPLB were aiready in tce Regent's List, but theircontinuing generosity enrolls them once again this year. Thesecond group is the San Miguel Corporation whose substantialgift enrolls them anew in the Regent's List.

New members of the Regent's Ust are:Tan Sui Lin FoundationTrade Union Congress of the PhilippinesWilliam Shaw FoundationThe President's list honors those who have donated ~75,OOO

or more. The following belongs to this List:Or.Jose Francisco IMr. & Mrs. Christian MonsodUPVAdministrative Support and ServicesUPVCollege of Arts and Sciences.The third highest rank in the Order of the Oblation, the Chan

cellor's List, recognizes donors of "25,000 or more. The members are:

Domindaor GregorioUPV Engineers GroupMinister Alberto RomuloGeorge S.K. TyUPAA Antique ChapterUPVAgriculturists' AlumniUPVUpsilon Sigma POhiThe following. members of the Deans' List, have donated

Pl0,OOO or more to the University Development Fund:Signal Consolidated CorporationUPAA Iloilo ChapterUPV Sigma Rho.Many of these people or their representatives are with us

today and I am sure that you share with me a deep gratitude tothese members of the U.P. family.

Donations to the U.P. Development Fund are significantbut not unique. At this time we should also remember the helpour faculty has received from the other U.P. Foundations towhich thousands of alumni, corporations, outside foundationsand other benefactors contribute annually.

Not with us today are the many friends and atumni in NorthAmerica who responded generously to our call for supportwhen we toured North America last year. The Friends of theUniversity of the Philippines Foundation in North Americahelps to maintain faculty members studying in North Americaand sustains us in a number of other creative and thouqhttulways. Our gratitude to these off-shore alumni is also boundless.

Tonight we will be having a special ceremony to honor themany benefactors who have contributed to the University overthe past five years. Some of these are foundations, both localand international, some are foreign governments, some aredomestic corporations. Far too often their intelligent andimaginative support goes unheralded.

To cite some examples, the Telengtan Foundation has supported research on the best use of drugs from indigeneousplants. The Asia Foundation has been supporting a two-yearcomparative study of ASEAN constitutions. The FordFoundation has been supporting major projects in researchand training in ethnomusicology as well as in expandedresearch, training and information dissemination on uiplandsmanagement. The Andres Soriano Cancer Research Poundation, Inc. has given a grant to the University.

The list of corporate generosity to the University is indeedlong.

Again, this serves to emphasize the fact tha tthe University isa collective endeavor. And it behooves us to express ourgratitude and appreciation to all those who enable theUniversity to keep faith with its purposes.

Thank you and good day.

(Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at theFirst Convention of the Phitippine ChamPer of

Health on 28 June 1986, Lung Center, Quezon City.)

The topic that has been assigned to me is "PreventiverFcturePlanninq." Let me start by asking-you what objectives are to becontemplated in any advance planning for health. As you know,the World Health Organization (WHO) is currently pursuing aninternational carnpaiqn to achieve health for all by the year2000.As a member of WHO, the Philippines has committed itself tothe campaign. If health for all is then our primary goal, can wedo it? Will the projected 75.2 million Filipinos (Source: U.P.Population Institute) all be healthy fourteen years "from now?

To guarantee health for even half of our future population,a lot of work will have to be done now. I tend to believe likeExupery that our task is not to foresee the future but to enableit.

Various figures draw a sorry picture of health in the Philippines at present, particularly of the health of its young .. Somesix to.eight million Filipino children are underweight, an indication of their malnourishment.' Ih addition, only about tenpercent have received primary immunization and seventy-fiveto eighty percent of school children are afflicted with internalparasitism. And as of 1984, 58 out of 1000 babies die beforethey even reach one year of age. (Source: MOH Infant Mortality Rate)

These children's elders generally do not fare any better.Approximately six out 01 ten Filipinos die without seeing adoctor, a supreme irony in a nation whose more prominentexperts are its doctors and nurses. An oft-cited study (pardo deTavera 1982) shows that there is on Iy one health practitioner forevery 20,000 rural Filipinos. It is worse in Mindanao where thereis only one public health physician for every 38,520 people.

A highly-preventable disease, tuberculosis, afflicts 18 million Filipinos at present. Similarly preventable diseases are theleading causes of morbidity and mortality: pneumonia, diarrheaand malaria. And we hold a world-high record for whoopingcough, diptheria and rabies. In the Western Pacific, we have theunenviable record of leading in the incidence of TS, schistosomiasis and polio.

Much of the common maladies of our people do not requirehigh-tech medical systems. The improvement, for instance, ofsanitary and health services would go a long way in raisingtheir wetl-betnq. The 1979 World Bank Report revealed that 62%of the population drank unsafe water everyday. Too, only 5%then benefited from adequate public sewerage systems.

The story is told of an oriental pilgrim who met the plagueone day. "Where are you going," he asked. The plagueanswered, "I am going to Baghdad to kill 5,000 people." A fewdays later, the pilgrim met the plague aqam. "You told me youwere going to Baghdad to kitl 5,000 people. But you killed50,000," he chastised the plague. "No," replied the plague. Ikilled only 5,000as Itold you I would: the others died of fright."

If that plague comes to the Philippines to kill 5,000, 45,000more would probably die too. Not because of fright, but fromdrinking contaminated water .

Where this area of health promotion is concerned, I think wecan learn from the Western example and benefit thereby. Thedramatic improvement in the qeneral health of Western populations near the end of the last century was not brought about bydoctors. Drinking water contaminated by human waste wasthen a major cause of disease in the ·West. It was only whenplumbers and sanitary engineers segregated the two systemsof drinking water and waste disposal that the incidence ofdisease dropped dramatically. I believe that a general improvement in sanitary services in our country can do as much.

But our doctors, nurses and other health workers have a roleto play too. It is a role that would bring them out of sophisticated medical centers catering to the rich. They are more urgently needed for the provision of basic medical services andadvice.

Lewis Thomas, Chancellor of the Memorial Sioan-KelteringCancer Center in New York and p. prominent writer on science,has proposed the introduction of the local health departmentsin Third World public health systems. These departments, oncea common fixture in Western communities, provided the people with basic health care advice and services to protect themagainst contagion, malnutrition and health ignorance.

Autonomous bodies charged with overseeing the healthneeds of small areas, these health departments were able tomaintain a certain personalism in their services. Nothingsophisticated in the way of technology was offered, butdiseases and health habits were carefully monitored andchecked by a basically trained staff, and more effectively still,by a population educated by this staff regarding proper healthand sanitary habits.

These health bodies can be easily established here. We havemany nurses better·trained than the average doctor at the turnof the century, who can readily staff local health departments.The health problems of our population are generally too basicto require expensively-trained doctors, who cannot be blamedfor avoiding rural practice.

The work of these nurses will primarily be in the provisionof basic medical care and the health education of Filipinos inrural areas and depressed sections of our cities. They arepreeminently qualified for these tasks not only because of theirtechnicalcornpetence but also because of that compassionatecommitment to serve people so deeply engrained in ournurses. Furthermore, I believe that our nurses can also takecare of the administrative task of running these healthorganizations. One look at who really runs our hospitals is Ithink proof enough.

Admittedly, however, the solutions to our health problemswill require approaches not exclusive to health. The casehaslong ben made that we suffer from a vicious cycleof low economic development resulting in mass poverty, which in turnmakes the affected population vulnerable to disease. Disease,in turn, lowers productivity by dissipating human energy. Andthe result is low economic development.

Even by agregate terms alone, the most productive portionof our population can be found in the rural areas. More thantwo-thirds of our population live in rural areas and more or lesshalf of our total labor force work in agriculture. The sad plightof rural Filipinos however is that they are the ones who mostsuffer from poverty. 1985 preliminary data from NEDA revealsthat 58_8% of our rural population fall below the poverty line.(Note: For the national population the figure is a little lower,57.6%. These figures are basedon family income and expenditures for 1985.) The implications of their economic plight ontheir standards of living, particularly their health, need not beelaborated. Any health plan must therefore consider the problems of our people in the rural areas.

Let me end by saying that for any health strategy to work,it must be complemented by a strategy to upgrade socioeconomic conditions as well. This is basic to any attempt toprolong life and to make it worth preserving.

The Center has been a consistent friend and supporter to theUniversity of the Philippines. I am encouraqeo by this continuing close ties between our two institutions which areequally concerned with human development in the wholistlcsense. As much as the UP stands for higher learning, so doesthe SOMM strive for man's attainment of higher consciousness.

Along these not incompatible goals, I hope the Universityand the Center can together accomplish greater endeavors inthe areaot education.

Very truly yours ,

retirement age of 70 of one of our very able administratorsDr. Carlos P.Ramos. '

The Board of Regents has seen fil to make this recommendation in recognition of Dr. Ramos' continuing dedication to theservice of our University. He was respoonsible for propelllnqour Philippine Executive Academy to its prominent positionas a training tnstttunon. Now that the Academy has abdicatedits role in deference to other government agencies that havecopied its basic model, Dr. Ramos has been instrumental in theconceptualization of the programs of our newly-establishedCenter for Integrative and Development Studies. He continuesto impress us as an imaginative leader and we feel that the ex,tension of his term will facilitate the growth of the Center thatwe expect him to guide through the initial stages.

With assurances of our highest esteem.

Dear Atty. Callas:

Prof. Herminia Alfonso, an Associate Professor in our Institute of Mass Communication, is now at the University ofPennsylvania finishing her Ph,D. in communication under aU.P. Fellowship. She had met with a serious vehicular accidentin September 1984 which disrupted her dissertation research.Her physical and emotional recovery, aggravated by the need toseek half-time employment for sustenance, set her back by ayear in her studies.

Under the U.P. Fellowship Prof. Alfonso receives a monthlyrAstipend of $250, the maximum that our rules allow, Because'-.she needs more financial assistance this time, we are request

ing that the Friends of U.P. in the U.S.A. provide her a supplementary stipend of $200lmonth ettectlve September 1985 untilSeptember 1986, If this recommendation merits your approval,the funds may be released to Prof. Alfonso at the followingaddress:

Attention: Deputy Minister Luis R. Baltazar

Dear Minister Romulo:

I would like to request for reconsideration of the action takenon our request for release of capital outlay funds in the totalamount of P5.941 million. Of this amount, P5.566 million is forequipment and P.375 million for land and land improvements.Deputy Minister Baltazar has informed us verbally this mayno longer be available in response to our follow up letter dated10 March 1986.

We are particularly anxious for the amount set aside to purchase equipment, in view of the sad state of our library cotlectlon which is at least five years behind and our outdated andunserviceable laboratory equipment. Of the amount for equipme-nt, 42% shall go to the purchase of books, 40% for laboratory equipment (18% for UPLB's Institute of Chemistry and 9%for U.P. Diliman's College of Science), 13% for the refurbishment of the reconstructed north wing of Quezon Hall burnedin September 1984,_ and only 5% for replacement of old andunserviceable office equipment.

It cannot be gainsaid that the quality of instruction and research for which the University has always emphasized, doesnot only depend on the expertise and capability of its humanresources, but also on the availability of materials especiatlvlibrary materials that enhance tea~hing and research .

We earnestly hope that you shall see -your wfJY clear toapproving this request in the light of our urgent need to be ofbetter service to our people.

Minister Jaime laya of MECS, in hisletter dated November 11, 1985, also wrote the Chancellor ofUPlB regarding the request of SEAMES.

In this connection, we wish to make the following clarifications:

1. That the Graduate Education Development Fee (GEDF)applies only to the foreign graduate students in the U.P.los Banos including SEAMEO scholars in the graduateprogram of SEARCA .

2. That the GEDF was adopted in UPLB in lieu of the noncitizenship fee in view of present financial constraintsand the need to expand and update the library collections,update and renovate laboratory facilities, and improvegenerally graduate instruction in the campus .

Attention: Deputy Minister Luis R. Baltazar


May I invite your attention to a problem that has plaguedU.P. Dillman for the last 3 years and which despite remedialefforts has not been completely overcome. This concerns ourinability to .meet our MERALCO obligations. In 1985, ourpayments were only up to June, 1985. Unpaid and unbookedaccounts for the second half of 1985 amounted to~4,893,990.32.

This problem was brought about by the following:

1. Increase in MERAlCO rates. While consumption has beenreduced from 17.9 million KWH in 1984 to 15.6 millionKWH in 1985, total bills rose from ~27.8 million in 1984to ~34,4 million in 1985. The average cost per KWH in1984 was only ~1.55 while it was ~2.20 per KWH in 1985.

2. Residen'tial connections are intermeshed with U.P. Wehave a program to transfer all private users directly toMERAlCO but due to lack of funds, this was only partialIy done. The transfer of the south area to MERAlCO willentail a ~2.5 M expense and will be pursued when fundsbecome available. The consumption of the different colleges' are being monitored as all bUildings have. beenmetered and they are encouraged to reduce their consumption.

3. Our MOE appropriations for both government contributionand income have been reduced from ~5.2 million in 1984TO ~78.0 million in 1985. Government subsidy accountedfor ~38.8 million or 41% out.of the·~95.2Mand ~22.3 mil- .lion or 29% out of "the '78M, respectively: On accountof the smallness of our MOE, we have not been able toallocate moreof MERALCO bills as We do not also wantto unduly jeopardize our essential acader:nic functions.

fA. We were able to improve incomes by lncreaslnq student\.'es and by jnsti~uting efficiency measures on incomegeneration. However, such increases are earmarked fundsreturnable to students in 'the form of better scholarships, Iaboratory equipment, supplies, and athletic, library services andcultural activities. None is available for g·eneral expenses likeMERAlCO bills.

In view of the foregoing, may I earnestiy request for a supplemental appropriation of '15-milli6n to cover our back accountstoMERAlCO.

Thank you lor this and other past favors.

FOREWORD

(t By ordinary instinct,. we know the place of food in the-- hierarchy of man's basic needs. Our instinct teaches us that

hunger is one of the vilest otall enemies that can ever confrontmankind. To do battle with hunger, man has traditionally turnedto the plow and lately, to the tractor and other inventions ofmodern technology to produce greater quantities of food. Butthis is not enough.

Part of the solution to the problem of hunger lies in the discovery of effective methods of food processing. We may succeed in producing more food; yet if we lack the know-how infood processing, the crops that we_ raise may not reach thehungry mouths they were intended to feed. Thus, foodprocessing technology lies on .par with food production interms of eradicating hunger and malnutrition.

I am glad to knOW that the University of the Philippines canbe proud of its contribution to food processing. technologyparticularly in food microbiol.ogyand tarmentatlon, throughthis·two volume work, "lndigenoLls Fermentations: Theory and Practice," of Professor.s Sonia Narv8s·Quiazon and Jesse O.

.'

I extend my warmest felicitations to the 1986 graduateS ofthe UPCollege of Law.

You have the fortune of graduating in these epochal timesin the life ot. our _nation, just two months after a remarkablydemocratic and peaceful revolution and just a few months priorto the birth of a new constitution and a new order of government. Upon these twl n historical events springs the hope forthe blossoming of your legal career in an environment nosptta- .ble to the rule of law and justice.

A career in law should be viewed as more than a professionalundertaking. Itis nothing less than a way" of life, a most fertileground for the expression of high cltizenship: Your part inrebuilding a democratic system based upon the rule of law is.crucial. I hope you will not fail our people.


12 May 1986

Our nation today is blessed with the spirit of change. Wherethere was once despair, our people .now talk of hope. Wherethere was once ·a-pathy, they" now seek commitment. Wherethere was once a me-self 'attitude, they now rejoice in theirnew-found unity. And wnere there was once a studied igA.difference to varying manltestations of evil in public and prlvatelife. they have begun to define a new morality.

But, change by its nature will go only as far as direction isprovided. Thus the energy for change must be directed tospecific concerns or it would be dissipated. .

As fresh graduates,' you are expected to be at the cuttingedge of chanqs and progress in our society. Always have this innmlnd as you seek out areas where you canqlve your knowledge and skills fuJi play.

The University awaits your success.

(Sgd,) EDGARDOJ. ANGARA .Ptestaent

Where it concerns the availability of nurses upon whomwe can rely for health care, our country has noprobiem. Theeighties ushered in a more than tw.o hundred per cent increase -in the number -of registered nurses from the previous decade.Unquestionably, the task .of bringing color to our nationalhealth is mainly in the area of necessary retorms in the nursingprofession.

In this light, I expect your Association to transcend the roleof a mere advocate of reforms, and lead- in redirecting the

. onentatlon of primary health-care in the Philippines which ispresently too nospltat-based and ·overly dependent on jrn-ported medicines and western technology. . .

Your association, acting as a concerted body of concernednurses should find means to bring primary health care closerto the' sickbed of barrio folks, and popularize the medicinalvalue of local herbs as a·pootent yet inexpensive source of curefor our panple'a ailments.

Since the mid-seventies, regional institutes had beenregularly held in different parts of the country where UPalumni had an organized presence. These institutesfostered closer relationships between the University andits alumni and among the alumni themselves. Theyserved as fora to involve alumni in the discussion ofmajor issues affecting the University. However, after the8th regional institute in Zamboanga City in 1983, thiskind of contact between the University and the alumnistopped.

Now, three years later, the tradition has been revived.The 9th regional alumni institute was held in Cagayan deOro from September 25·27, 1986. In recognition of aburning national issue the institute's theme was-TheUniversity and Constitution Making: Chalienges to UPAlumni.

SPEECHES

(Entemporaneous Remarks 'of President Edgardo J. Angaraduring the turnover of donation from Astra Pharmaceutical

Pnits., Inc. To PGH on 7 July 1986.)

I want to thank you, in behalf of Chancellor Lorenzo and Director Estrella as well as the Univer-sity, for this 500,000 donation of antibiotics from Astra Pharmaceutical. Had we knownthat Rod here gave the Ministry of Health 3 million worth, wewould have asked for the same amount of donation. Rod saidthat I am a friend of the Swedish community and Astra in particular. I may as .well make a disclosure so that some of ourcolleagues in the University will not say that I am wearing toomany hats. I have one more extra hat. I was responsible forbringing in Astra Pharmaceutical into this country. In fact, onpaper I am still a member of the Board. I have not attended anyof its Board meetings since I became U.P. President. WhatRod said is true that about four or five years ago, Astra alsogave a donation of 1 million to PGH. I would like to claim thatthey did it because of my connection to Astra. I just wanted todisclose that so that some of our colleagues would not say thatmy other hats did not help the U.P. at all.

Yes, I think this donation will go a long way. It is timelybecause the rainy season is on and infectious diseases wouldbecome prevalent, unfortunately. I do hope that Rod Garciawould ring in soon that research grant that he indicated hewould give to the U.P. Manila. Rod knows the U.P. Manila community as well as any in the pharmaceutical industry and heknows that we've got one of the best, I think, health research inthe country. All we need is a little help from the outside. Well,we are part of the public health institution system of this country. We find that we increasingly must rely on our own efforts tohelp supplement what we get from government. This is goingto be an increasing effort, this is going to be a mission practicailly of everyone in the University. One is deluding himself inbelieving that the University can just grow and develop on theresources that government provides to. it. That is a mistake,that is an illusion. The leadership of the University mustalways, as part of its responsibility to the Institution, tap outside resources whether from alumni or from industry or foundations. That is going to be an inseparable feature of the job ofthe leadersh lp of the University, whether under this Presidency.or past administrations, but also of the future.

So, for your assistance, Rod and Willy and the other ~xecu

uves of Astra like Violy Drilon, my law partner, we Wish to

•

express again our gratitude and hope that this will be part ofyour company's continuing program of assistance to U.P.Manila.

Thank you very much.

(Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at the 10th AnniversaryCelebration of Transport Training Foundation 6n 11 July 1986,TTCAUdio Visual Room)

Let me first congratulate the officers and staff of the Transport Training. Center as it marks its first decade of pioneeringwork in the field of transportation.

The Center's training and research programs in transportation are truly relevant and crucial to the country's future andour people's progress.

Dr. Koji Kobayashi, who was recently honored by the University with a doctorate degree has commented that the rapidrise of the United States to modern civilization is mainly due tothe development of communications and transportation.

Dr. Kobayashi visited the United States in 1954 and saw thecontrast between that country and Japan. In his own country,he said: "it took just about a full day before you could talk afterapplying for a long distance telephone call between Tokyo andOsaka, a distance of about 500 kilometers."

We all know now what Japan has become since 1954. It'sa country Where the only distance separating its people fromnorth to south was the time it took 130 mph bullet trains tobring them together. It was the Japan of wapuros, word processors that typed out Japanese characters, reducing, forinstance, the 32 strokes of the brush for the Japanese equivalent of the word "rose" to only 3 taps on the keyboard.

And I found myself in a mood similar to Dr. Kobayashi'swhen he was in the United States in 1954.1 felt admiration andregret. Feelings that were heightened by the fact that likeJapan the Philippines is also a scattering of islands; but unlike Japan, it is richer in natural bounties. I found myself alsomore convinced than ever that these two systems ofinfrastructure-transportation and communication-areamong the essential preconditions of economic progress aswell as social and political growth and stability.

Like law, I see the intellectual disciplines dealing with transportation and communication just as infused with a moralpurpose, regardless of the private motives of the people engaged in the study or in the business of transportation andcommunication.

Few things more closely relate to a person's life than the freedisposal of his talents and goods. Shakespeare's Skylockdivined this relationship when he said: "YOLJ take my life whenyou do take the means whereby I live." And among the meanswhereby a man assures his life and livelihood is the ability 10

transport his goods and talents where there exists the mostprofitable market for them. This truth applies to nations asmuch as to individuals.

Many in underdeveloped countries are locked in poverty, notfor lack of skill, industry, and fertile land, but for their inabilityto reach the best markets for their goods. Frequently failingto reap the just reward for honest toil saps their industry anddepreciates their skills. Here we have a clear example as any ofundue deprivation of llte, liberty and property.

Whole countries face the same predicament and may besaid to suffer the same injustice now that we realize the criticalpart played by the export trade in the creation of truly moderneconomics.

One student of Third World economic development saysthat the "turning point in the history of Third World economiesthat have graduated to modernity is marked by (a) an acceleration of agricultural output and (b) a rising trade ratio." This ratiorelates to agricultural exports. Of thirty countries characterizedby export-led growth, twenty one depended almost entirelyon agricultural exports.

This is natural for countries Whose predominant economicactivity is agriculture. These countries have suffered fromtrying to by-pass agricultural productivity and to leap straightinto the manufacture and export of industrial goods. Our country is one of them.

But when you consider the short life and perishablenessof agricultural products, it is not surprising that these countries should have opted to produce industrial goods. Adequatetransportation systems should have inter-linked their internalmarkets and connected their economies, with the rest of theworld. Lacking such systems, these countries were compelledto produce less perishable goods.

It was, as we now see, the wrong option. A viable exporttrade springs from a healthy domestic market which, in turn,can only rest upon a Vigorous agriculture. The links in thatprogression of exports, domestic markets and agriculture arefurnished by transportation. That is why I say there is a moraldimension to transportation.

The moral dimension in transportation I spoke of is evenclearer in communication. Here, my reference is to the right offree expression. One may have the right of speech but thatwould be a paper right it the medium of communication is notavailable. The medium of expression is therefore as importantas the act itself. A man who speaks his mind within the fourwalls of a prison has been denied the right. So also is the manwho is denied the instruments to project his message, as whenhe is denied the use of a public place or loudspeakers.

The protection encompasses not only political opinion buteven economic choice. A man is entitled to full informationregarding any goods on sale in the market. For his right ofchoice would be illusory if he also did not enjoy the unhinderedflow of information to make the right choice.

The right to communicate and to know is as important forwhole countries as tor individuals. The Japanese reputation forthe high quality of their market decisions was built upon anefficient communication system.

But higher purposes are served by the existence of anefficient communication system. In the abstract, this systemfacilitates the free expression of intelligent and informedopinions and decisoons; a freedom essential to the kind of lifethat is alone fitting with our dignity as men.

But for the practical purposes of a nation of 7,000 islands,no higher purpose can be ascribed to a communication infrastructure than that of serving as a unifying force. The sameis true for a transportation infrastructure in the Philippines.

This is why the University recognizes the prime importanceof transportation and communication. Along with the TransportTraining Center, we now are in the process of establishing aTelecommunications Institute in the University. This Institutewill, we hope, provide the telecommunication industry andgovernment with competent manpower and advanced researchand development.

If our people: were to transcend the welter of dialects, ofdistinct regional perspectives formed by peculiar customs andtraditions in order to share a common purpose as well as acommon vision, the physical and psychological gaps ofmountains, seas and jungles must be bridged.

Transportation and communication should not only anchorthe bridge that will bring our people together across physicaldistance. They should also create the social forces that willencourage our people to travel the psychological distance.

All Philippine Constitutions except that of Malolos haveprovided that "arts and letters shall be under the patronaqe ofthe State." This provision was in the 1935 and 1973 Constltutions, and is in the Freedom Constitution. It shall, undoubtedly, become part of the Constitution now being draftedby the Constitutional Commission.

This provision is plain recognition of the writer's gift. Itrequires that the State assist the writers. Such assistance or"patronage" may mean material encouragement in the form ofgrants, subsidies and other incentives. It also means givingwriters protection from lorces that would prevent them fromwriting, or which would compel them to write in a certain way.

Despite this Constitutional directive, we must keep in mindthat the relationship between writer and State has not alwaysbeen as ideal as the provision would suggest. The plain fact isthat many writers have suffered persecution, imprisonmentand even death both before and after this provision was incorporated in the 1935Constitution.

During the struggle for Filipino nationhood, for example,it was significant that a writer, having awakened his countrymen to the realities of Spanish power in the Philippines, wasexecuted precisely for his writing, part icularly his two novels.

During the American period, not a few writers were imprisoned for supposedly violating the sedition laws. And duringthe Japanese occupation, several others, including ManuelArguilla, were executed by the Japanese.

During the past regime, a number of writers suffered persecution and imprisonment.

I need not remind you that one of our greatest modernwriters, Amado V. Hernandez, was himself the victim of politicalpersecution. He had spent several years in prison, some ofthem in solitary confinement because his writings wereconsidered subversive.

Those of us who are not of any special literary bent may havehad occasion to wonder why governments go out of their wayto persecute writers; to harass, imprison, torture or kill them.Writers deal with words, and the artifacts of their professionare simply ink on paper.

Those who have an instinct for power, however, will tell youthat the printed page is not as harmless as it appears. It canopen people's eyes to some painful realities. It can inspirethem to action. The printed page addresses the mind andchallenges its analytical and reflective faculties. Hence, thosein power are often wary of writers and their writings becausethey deal with mobilizing the most powerful weapon of all, anenlightened and awakened human will.

Now the ultimate expression of power is the State. The Statemay use its power for ends which are benevolent or otherwise.The State can be the captive of one group or another and maybegin to function for that group's interests rather than for thewhole society.

When this happens, the rulers of the State become openlyauthoritarian and do not hesitate to use instruments of powerat their command-the laws, the courts, the police and themilitary. They can, however, employ persuasion through Statepatronage.

Patronage can be the other side of coercion and intimidation,because it can lead to the same result. The patron may expectand, therefore, subtly demand from the writer a quid pro quo,something of an utang na loob. Given our cultural value 01 reciprocity, the real challenge to the Filipino writer and to thepatron as well is how to enjoy the patronage of the State andyet preserve his freedom of expression. Can patronage begiven without strings attached? Is it possible to be grateful andyet remain unfettered?

That is why the relationship between the writer and the Statehad always been, in our own experience as well as that ofEurope, problematical. It has not always been a simple matterof the State unselfishly providing patronage and of the writerliving on the edge of penury eagerly accepting that patronage.Patronage too has a price. Writers at times succumb to its lure,

specially when it is offered together with the implicit threat thatthe opposite of patronage is imprisonment or even death-or,at the very least, non-publication, which for writers can beworse then death itself.

What then must the writer do insofar as the State is concerned? It seems to me that the writer must keep in mind thatno State has ever completely spoken for all of humanity, thatpower has never been used solely for justice and reason.

The writer may accept the patronage of a State that is committed to the ends of justice, freedom, and human advance'ment. But he must also realize that State priorities can change,and that in the end he must rely on his conscience and hiscommitment to the basic purpose of writing, which is thetelling of truth.

(Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at the RegUlar WeeklyMeeting of the Manila Rotary Club on 31 July 1986, ManilaHotel.)

You asked me to speak about the Constitution that theConstitutional Commission is drafting now. The present workof the ConCom is yielding many fascinating and novel socialand political ideas. Out of these rich materials, however,l havechosen to speak on the shape and substance of governmentemerging from the ConCern. I prefer to focus on this particularsubject because I believe that the issue of structure is directlyand necessarily related to our ability to combat the manyproblems that seriously imperil our society.

The proposition I wish to present to you is that the govern·ment that is emerging from the ConCom will be passionatelydemocratic and strongly mandated to effect social and economic relorms. With that strong mission I will ask whether thepresidency is given the commensurate power and- authorityto lead the national effort at social and economic reform.

Why do I say that the government contemplated by theConCom would be both strongly democratic and developmentoriented? I offer three factors which I believe are going to bedecisive.

The first factor, of course, is the continuing faith of theFilipino people in the democratic way of life. That this faithconstituted force was demonstrated in the unstoppable driveof the people to employ the ballot as the principal means forasserting their basic rights against authoritarianism.

Clearly the choice of the electoral process as the battleground on which to wage the fight for freedom was a reaffirmation of the people'S adherence to the democratic option.

That, and more.The snap presidential polls, and to a certain extent the 1984

Batasang Pambansa elections, demonstrated that the peoplewere no longer passive about their democratic faith.

They were prepared to act on it.This was evident from the phenomenal success of the

NAMFREL as a citizens' volunteer organization dedicated todefend the sanctity of the ballot. While voluntary organizations have existed for years, they were not organized on asmassive a scale as the NAMFREL nor did they involve individuals from different classes of society. And unlike other organi·zations, NAMFREL suffered from the obvious displeasure,often resulting in outright harrassment, that the governmentshowed toward it.

The new type of voluntarism was a development largely unheard of before in Philippine politics. That was a cleardemonstration of the Flltplno's faith in thOe electoral process.

The Filipino citizenry, long used to dole-outs from politicalparties, had come of age.

A second factor to be considered is the egalitarian character of this democratic movement.

Popular dissatisfaction with authoritarian rule did not solelystem from the loss of individual rights. It also arose from thefailure to resolve the extreme social inequity prevailing inPhilippine society, one of the major excuses offered for the

declaration of Martial Law, despite the loss of democraticrights.

In 1971, 42.4% of our national population were living belowthe proverty line. In 1985, this increased to 57.6% of the totalpopulation. While SOlT'!8 may doubt the reliability of povertythresholds because of widespread understatement of incomedata, these figures at least show that there has been no cornparative improvement in the lot of most of our people.

This is also confirmed by the income distribution figuresfor the 4th quarter of 1983 from the Integrated Survey ofHouseholds of the National Census and Statistics Office(NCSO) which show that the poorest 10% of our people hadfamily incomes which were only 1.2% of that which the richest10% had. In 1971, the annual family income and expendituresurvey of the NCSO showed that the poorest 10th had familyincomes Which were only 1.2% of those of the richest 10%.

People power, therefore, not only indicated popular adherence to the democratic process; it also expressed the overwhelming desire of the people to achieve, through democratic means, changes in our society that would benefit themajority of our people.

This factor was very much evident even during the Constitutional Convention of 1971 to which I was a delegate. At thattime, there already was a strong radical challenge to the injustices ingrained in the prevailing social structure. Similarchallenges are stronger today, their intensity heightened byhuman rights abuse and what now appears to be a gross rnisuse of the national wealth.

In 1971, the Constitutional Convention moved to preventthe Philippine social volcano from erupting by mandating instrong terms government intervention in behalf of the disadvantaged. These provisions-including those on protection tolabor, social justice, social services and land reform-werewritten into the 1973Constitution.

The Constitutional Commission is responding to the demandfor social justice in the same fashion, but in far stronger terms.The ConCorn in fact take a step further by adopting an entirelyseparate article on social justice in order to stress the primacyof the underprivileged.

One with a legal mind, however, will raise the issue ofwhether the ConCom's approach would produce more in termsof legal rights for the disadvantaged in Philippine society. Itc~n be argued that these social justice provisions need noteven be expressed in the Constitution, but that for so long asthe political will is present, the State mav effect social reformsthrough the use of what is technically known as police powerwhich is inherent in the State.

That, I admit, is a valid contention.I feel, though, that the Constitution must not be vieweed

solely as a legal document. It is also a political documentwhich expresses the concerns preoccupying the minds of thepeople. While it may not be necessary for the Constitution tocontain social justice provisions in order to empower the Stateto act on behalf of the less privileged groups in society, thepresence of such provisions would be a challenge to thegovernment and serve as a reminder that these reforms areforemost among the expectations of the people.

These provisions would also lend an air of urgency to theirimplementation by the government considering that thesuccess of the democratic system would be judged in accordance with its ability to respond to these articulated priorities.

This brings me to tl)e Martial Law experience as a third factorwhich affects the contents of the new Constitution. Perhaps itis a natural psychological reaction that the framers of ourConstitution, reflecting the attitudes of our people, Shou~dshow some aversion to institutions or mechanisms that were In

any way associated with the past regime.Thus, there is a general tendency to effect the revival ?f the

institutions of government existing before the declaratIon. 01Martial Law. The ConCom has therefore proposed the adoption01 a presidential system with a bleamerallegislature.

The ConCem has opted for the presidential system of Quv,ernment, but, unlike the delegates of the 1935 Constitutionwho deliberately created a strong presidency, the ConComhas set about to clip the powers of the office.

There is real danger of emasculating the presidency. Inaddition to the fact that the term of each president is limited tosix years, and that Senate concurrence is necessary in order toenter into treaties, and legislative concurrence is necessary forappointments, the move to further decentralize the exercise ofgovernmental powers in relation to the local and regionalgovernments, and to restrict the president's power to declareMartial Law or suspend the ~rit of habeas corpus may weakenthe presidency. Add to this the relaxation of the impeachmentprocess. The effectiveness of the president in exercisingleadership in government is a function of his different powerstaken together. By clipping each of these powers, the over-aueffectiveness of the president may be hampered.

The dilemma the ConCom must grapple with is how toensure that what happened under the past regime whichresulted in the concentration of powers in the hands 01 apresident turned dictator will never again be repeated and atthe same time recoqnize the need for a strong leadership toensure the viability and integrity of the Philippines as a State.

The ConCom is drafting a Constitution not only for theimmediate present but for the future of a country beset bysocial and economic problems of daunting magnitude. TheConCom's vision therefore must not merely concentrate onclipping the powers of the presidency to render it ineffectualbut to maintain it as the center of leadership and responslbitlty both in government and in the eyes of the nation.

(Paper of President Edgardo J. Angara delivered for him byProf. Melito Salazar at the Seventh National Congress of thePhilippine Association of Secondary School Administrator(PASSA) on 7 August 1986, Teachers' Camp, Baguio Citv.)

Managing the school's human resources-the topic youhave assigned to me-goes to the heart of the school'smission. For what are schools for except to develop the humanpotential?

In simple terms, human resource management means takingcare of people so that the objectives of an organization areachieved.

But in the world 01 schools, that basic management principle is not as simple as it sounds. That principle is one of themost valuable insights developed and practiced in thecorporate world of business. And its adoption in the management practice of the non-corporate world is very useful.

But for schools to derive full benefit from business manaqement's practices, one must be careful but quick to .recoqnizetwo crucial factors that differentiate a school from any otherorganizations of people.

The first of that crucial differ.ence is that a school has a dualcharacter. Its corporate personality is distinct from its spirit ofservice. It takes on a corporate form to do certain activitieswhich it may be unable to discharge or may discharge ineffectively without such corporate structure. As a corporate entity, aschool is no different from all other organizations of menestablished for the conduct of trade or business. As a corporateentity, it recruits personnel, pays them salaries, owns andadministers property, prepares budgets and financial plans,sells and purchases goods and services, etc.

But as a service institution, the school acquires its specialand distinct character. As the transmitter of knowledge and thecultural heritage, the school occupies an incomparableposltion in society. Not unlike the church from which schoolsand universities have their roots, they antedate and eventuallytranscend corporations. In that sense, a school exists whereverand whenever there is a teacher. It is there without regard tolocation, buildings and other physical and material thingsusually associated with it. 79

•..,...'".I:J

e=z-->~

'"e-=e>

80

And that brings me to the second crucial diUerence of aschool from other human organizations. A school is, over andabove anything else, a community of intellectual peers. Theschool's complement ;5 comprised of faculty members andadministrators of distinctive talent and training. Whether insidethe classroom or behind the principal's desk, each one isdeeply committed to knowledge and truth. Whatever privatemotive or interest may momentarily actuate him, his own professional pride dictates he must excel, or be seen by his peersto excel, in the exoansion of knowledge and the making of newdiscoveries. That overriding pursuit to be successful absolutelycalls for a free mind. That is why academic freedom is morethan a rhetorical clamor. It is a living and operating libertyguaranteed to faculty and administrators. That is the specialbadge of teachers and administrators that makes them a communityof scholars.

Given the uniqueness of a school, human resource management is thus more complex and challenging than in anordinary organization. Apart from the natural difficulties inmotivating a community of equals to work effectively and coopoeratively there are many contemporary pressures andconstraints that curb or hamper school administration. Theweakening of school leadership is to me more acute in publicschools. And I have had occasion to describe this sometimeago before the BBC Presidents' Workshop on Ethics in HigherEd:1cation. As part of this paper, please allow me to refer thoseof you who are interested to those remarks. (Attachment 1).

So, the first consideration I will submit for effective management of school's human resources is the quality of leadership.As a role model to the students and the community, the schooladministrator must be as creative as his faculty, as democratic and participative as the community he represents. ThisI admit sets exacting standards and places very high expectations. But we cannot afford to relax tile qualifications andsettle for less. For the head of a school makes a difference.

And beyond the quality of SChool leadership but still anintegral part of its responsibility is the objective of the school.Call it by whatever description you wish, "the best science highschool", "the best public school", "the school that educatesChristian men and women", whatever. The school mustdevelop an image of its own. It must have its own identity. Itmust aim for excellence, not in a wooly and generalized sensebut in a concrete, identifiable and measurable way. For onlywhen there is true pride in "an excellent school" can tacuttv,administration and students be genuinely challenged and motivated to act and behave in extraordinary and exemplarymanner.

And it is in this area of goal setting that school faculty andadministration can profitably gain from the art and science ofmanagement. Goal setting implies that those in the organization must know exactly what are the long-term qoals in relationto the short-term objectives, what does it take to get there,what are the restraining as well as the supportinq forces, whatresources are available, what specific action plans are needed,what is the time frame, Who is accountable lor results etcTo set organizational goals, there is a need to plan and to' Plan'well.

No organization can meaningfully attain any present objective unless the people in it are involved in planning. And thisshould even be more so in the case of schools where collegialdecision making is essential. If the faculty is left out in thedefinition of institutional targets, then the school administration should not logically expect faculty cooperation. Noamount of directive with all its sanctions can insure thesuccessful implementation of a plan if those Whoare supposedto implement it do not have a sense of participation in its conceptualization.

We in school administration may be unwittinqly trappedWithin the confines of the table of organization and perceive

teachers as our subordinates. Surely the principal or the director of a school has administrative supervision over its faculty.But there is more to the teacher than just being a subordinate.Inside the classroom, the teacher is looked up to by studentsas a source of knowledge, a fountain of wisdom, and a model.In the community he is held in high esteem. Little wonder thenthe teacher resents being treated merely nas a subordinate.

A teacher's sense of self-worth thrives best in an atmosphereof academic freedom. To us at the U.P., academic freedom isa reality. Academic freedom is a value which ought to be developed for a school to release creativity and innovation thatnormally ensues when minds are free.

The management and development of -nurnan resourcesshould not, therefore, be hostile to the flourish of academicfreedom. Insofar as this concept relates to non-restraint inteaching and learning, so must teachers be given a say indetermining what is best for them.

Dissent is likely to spring between teachers and adrnlnistrators in regard to the appropriateness of human resourcedevelopment. Historically, the two groups have always stood atopposite ends concerning many issues. As Spencer Maxcyobserved in his book Academic Freedom, "Administrators fallunder the guidelines of the academic freedom and tenure rules,but increasingly, a gap is emerging between teachers andadrninistrators on trus issue. Battles over tenure, salaries,removals, etc. have created two camps, Administration, whichsees tenure and academic freedom as weapon to protect theincompetent teacher from being fired, and teachers who fearthat their right to teach what they deem correct and true isunder attack."

Less disagreements would come between teachers andadministrators "If both will evolve a human resource develop-

. ment program hand in hand together. HRD should, therefore,emerge not as a training package imposed by administratorson teachers. With due regard for academic freedom, it shouldbe allowed to develop into a form wherethe teacher's personalsearch for self-improvement is structured only insofar as tomake it measurable by goals and achievements.

Before I conclude, let me also address myself to two specificissues you want me to dwell on, namely-how to help motivateteachers towards a greater passion for the profession and howto organize them into a' cohesive team with a strong unity ofpurpose. The answer 10 the first question is already indicatedearlier. Since teaching is a calling, a vocation as it were, thepassion to teach, the commitment to serve as an effectiveinstrument for the enlightenment of the mind is reinforcedwhen the teacher is allowed so much latitude in the pursuitof truth. Then teaching in itself becomes its own reward. Thesharing of discoveries and insights between a teacher and astudent without any interference from anybody becomes selffulfilling.

The school administrator may no) be an inspiring teacher inhimself to motivate those under him to be more committed totheir profession. But at least he can be supportive. He can helpcreate an environment that enhances a teacher's self-respect.He can radiate the saura of his own passion for education andhope to affect those he comes in contact with-with the sparkof hls own enthusiasm.

An enthused administrator who believes that nothing evergets done in an organization unless you 'involve other peoplecan transform his faculty into a cohesive team with a strongfeeling of unity and a keen sense of purpose. This he can do ifhe has the patience to build on the strengths of his people, ifhe is committed to build a climate of trust, if he is caringabout the needs of those who are with him, if he has the visionto provide a sense of direction.

Lastly, no institution will survive, no team is possible withouta eore of shared values that must pass the test of time andoverride individual concerns.

TH E REFORMATION OF THE JUSTICESYSTEM'

(Article for the UST Law Review)By: President Edgardo J. Angara

University of the Philippines

The change in government resulting from the February Revolution has been total. The Executive Branch has been completely overhauled, not only at the national level but also, afterconsiderable controversy, in the local units. The Batasan hasbeen abolished altogether. The membership of the Bench isbeing reconstituted. The legality of these sweeping changeshas been anchored on the characterization of the presentgovernment as a revolutionary one.

To erase all vestiges of authoritarianism and to turn a com.pletely new leaf, a new Constitution is being framed. During thetransition towards a new Constitution, a revolutionarygovernment is in place. Needless to state, it is every Filipino'swish that the transition to constitutional government will be asshort and orderly as possible.

This article will focus on what the Bench and Bar can andshould do during this era of reform in order to restore publicconfidence in the justice system of the country.

One of the main objects of government is to distributejustice. History teaches us that where government fails in thischief function, the inevitable result is unrest and revolution.The courts are the principal protectors of the common people.They have no wealth or power to shield them from adversity. Itis the common people, therefore, who suffer most when themachinery of justice breaks down.

Our history shows that it was the inadequacy 01 the Spanishcolonial judicial system which contributed to the outbreak ofthe Philippine Revolution. Dubious methods of filling the ranksof that judicial system resulted tn corruption and grossmiscarriage of justice. The Spanish colonial judicial systemalso had the fatal defect of being ponderously slow. Litjga·tion became a war of attrition. The wheels of justice turnedslowly and seemed to grind only the small.

It is no wonder that when the Americans came to our islandsin 1899, the first recommendation of the Schurman Commissian appointed by President William McKinley was to overhaula system which breed "the evils of delay, corruption andexploitation" and replace it with one that assured "a pure,speedy and effective administration of justice."

Eighty-six years later, public discontent in our judicialsystem again became one of the causes of the February Revolution. The problems of delay and corruption and incompetence have become crucial once more, and there is again aneed to overhaul the system.

The revamp of the Judiciary and the framing of a new Constltutlon Is a golden opportunity for the reformation and improvement of our justice system. There is a chance not only to takepatchwork remedial measures, but to review the entire judicialsystem starting from law education to professional ethics anddisciplinary procedure to recruitment and salary of judges.

The change of government has brought about the rsconstltutton of the Supreme Court, the highest body of our judicialsystem. The membership of the second highest court, renamedthe "Court of Appeals", has also been reconstituted. The qualifications of the incumbent judges of the lower courts are beingscrutinized and new judges will most likely be appointed toreplace those deemed unfit for the Bench.

While the changes in the membership of the Bench areimportant steps, further measures must be taken to achieve afundamental reformation of the justice system and cure theroot causes of its problems. Aside from the efforts to appointthe most qualified persons to the Bench, complete systemsI

"Legal Education for the 1980's, Report of the Committeeon Legal Education of the Supreme Court of the Philippines",Diiiman, QuezonCity, February21,1980.

and Structures for the speedy and efficient distribution ofjustice must be adopted and resolutely implemented.

As a logical starting point for the improvement of our justicesystem. we must take a second look at the way we produce andtrain our lawyers. Atter all, lawyers are principal actors in thedelivery of justice and it is also from the ranks of lawyers thatjudges and justices are eventually picked. It is in the lawschools where our lawyers are first trained in legal skills andimbued with the principles of legal and judicial ethics.

The late Chief Justice Fred Ruiz Castro of the Supreme Courtformed a Committee on Legal Education to study the adequacyof the present requirements for admission to the law schools,the existing law school curriculum, the Bar examinations andcontinuing legal education, and to suggest and formulatemeasures to improve and strengthen the various aspects oflegal education. The Committee started its regular meetings in1978 and completed its Report in February 1980. The com.pleted Report" contains exhaustive studies on such topics asthe academic requirements for admission to law schools, thesystem to admission to law schools, the law school curriculum,the bar examinations, continuing legal education, and thegovernmental and regulatory supervision of legal education.

The numerous' concept papers and discussions of the Committee on Legal Education embodied in the Report provide awealth of data and insights into our system of legal education.The Report, which contains numerous conclusions and recommendations for the improvement of the way we educate andtrain lawyers, was submitted to the Supreme Court in 1980.This article will not discuss at length the various conclusionsand recommendations of this Committee. It is submitted, however, kthat the aforementioned Report is a valuable recourseand input to the efforts to achieve a general reformation of thejustice system in our country.

Needless to state, our lawyers should not only be learned inthe law and proficient in the skillsof advocacy. They must alsobe ethical and upright men Who should constantly adhere totheir code of professional ethics. To modernize the canons oflegal ethics, the Integrated Sar of the Phil·ippines (iBP) hasestablished a Committee on Professional Responsibility, Discipline and Disbarment. This was in September 1977, duringthe term of then IBP President and now Supreme Court JusticeMarcelo B. Fernan.

This Committee, after much work and effort, completed acomprehensive "Proposed Code of Professional Responsibility" which incorporates the latest rules of various Bar Associations of different countries and which cover the modernethical problems of law practice. This proposed Code answersthe need to update the present Canons of Professional Ethicswhich were first adopted by the Philippine Bar Associationfrom the American Bar Association way back in 1917. Thisproposed Code was submitted by the IBP to the SupremeCourtin 1980.

There should also be a vigorous enforcement of our codes oflegal and judicial ethics. In many instances, such determinedand uniform enforcement and the resolute imposition of appropriate penalties are the only effective deterrents againstunethical conduct by lawyers and judges.

The IBP has also given priority to the improvement ofprofessional ethics of lawyers and the policing of its own ranks.Duril1g the term of the very first president of the IBP, PresidentEmeritus Justice J.B.L. Reyes, a grievance procedure for theenforcement and maintenance of discipline among themembers of the Bar was proposed and submitted to theSupreme Court for approval. This was way back in 1974.

On the subject of delay in the delivery of justice, the lawyersand Judges should candidly evaluate and propose proceduralchanges to avoid delay in the courts. Many provisions of theRulGS of Court leave the progress of litigation in the hands ofthe lawyers and completely out of the court's control. Theprocedure for litigating cases encourages a:1 the participants

to take the line of least resistance. Let me prove the point byciting several illustrations.

Under the Rules, the complaint does not have 10be answeredimmediately nor its issues faced squarely. The defendant canmove to dismiss on any number of technical grounds. Themotion then triggers off a string of responses and counterresponses that can drag on for half a year.

The court should not be made to tolerate this side-show tothe main case. It should be able to immediately decide themotion and force the case to trial.

Again, the Rules discourage postponements and yel they arean alarmingly common feature of litigation. Out of professionalcourtesy, laziness or self-interest, these motions are seldomopposed.

I do not propose an excessively rigid continuance policy. ButI believe that trials must be heard on scheduled dates, in theabsence of really compelling reasons, This should encouragejudges to calendar cases realistically and lawyers to preparefor trials they know will not be transferred.

The roots of delay reach even to the procedure for servingprocess. Current practice expects the courts to bear the cost ofserving summons. Because of the low rates of sservtce feesthese expenses are often shouldered by sheriffs, Understand:ably, sheriffs delay service until assistance is offered.

It is difficult to understand the ohilosophy behind thispractice, It is not public policy to finance private litigation.The plaintiff should underwrite the expenses of service. This isthe practice in many jurisdictions in the United States.

Piecemeal presentation of evidence is a peculiar featureof Philippine litigation. It imposes hardships upon the parties,the witnesses and, not least, the court. The fragmentation ofthe evidence through scattered hearings over a long period oftime creates a disjointed image of the case.

It prevents the court from arriving at a correct and just appreciation of the factual and legal issues of the case. It compelsthe litigants to reassemble their respective evidence inmemoranda. And yet memoranda should be brief, and confinedonly to the discussion of complex questions of law,

Yet another factor of delay is the traditional method of transcribing testimony. The current method takes too long. Because lawyers need the transcripts to prepare for the nexthearing, hearing dates are scheduled far between,

In Thailand, oral evidence is tape-recorded and transcribedon the same day of the hearing. Thus, witnesses and counseJcan review the transcript for errors almost immediately afterthe hearing. The method has speed and reliability to speak forit.

Perhaps this method would cost more than the traditionalone. If it does, then transcription fees should be graduated onthe basis of the claims. In this way, litigation by the rich willsubsidize justice for the poor.

Insofar as the state of the Bench is concerned, it is fair to sayth~t it has been in a sad state of neglect. The administrationo,fJustice in this country has been, for too many years, the poorsl~ter of ~overnment. It is housed in the shabbiest buildinqs.It IS sustained by an appropriation that is less than the calamityfund. The distribution of justice has taken a back seat to thegovernment's programs for economy, defense and otherbureau~r~cies.Th,e 90~ernment, however, should never neqlectthe Judiciary, for Its failure can be the worst failure of a government.

With the judicial budget as it is, a jUdge of a regional trialcourt is paid less than an assistant branch manager of a small?OmmE~:jpl bank. The salaries of city court and municipalJudges are even 10wer."With salaries like that, it is almost futileto talk about judicial integrity or competence. We are luckywi.th what we get, for there are many competent and honest~en in the Judiciary, If we want more quality, we must pay forIt.

It is encouraging to note that the Constitutional Commission has proposed a provision in the new Constitution creatinga "Judicial and Bar Council". This will be composed of the

Chiel Justice as ex-oficio Chairman, the Minister of Justice anda representative of the National Assembly as ex-oficiomembers, a represenlative of the IBP, a professor of law, aretired member of the Supreme Court, and a representative ofthe private sector. According to the proposed article, the Council shall have the principal function of recommending appointees to the Judiciary, but it may exercise such other tunctions and duties as the Supreme Court may assign to it, **

The proposed Judicial and Bar Council wi II, among others,make the Judiciary even more of a reality. The selection and reocruitment of appointees to the Bench would presumably bemore systematic and based on merit, with the result that thebest will be appointed to our courts.

The Judicial and Bar Council, if adopted, may also focus onand adopt measures to reform our justice system. In fact, thereis no dearth in the studies, discussions, insights and recommendations on how to reform and improve the delivery of justice in our country. We have pointed out some of these. uodoubtedly, there are many others.

What is perhaps lacking is the focusing of attention on theseproposals, and the will of the Bench and the Bar to implementthese. Strong leadership as well as cooperation among alljudges and lawyers are needed. As direct actors in the deliveryof judicial services, judges and lawyers should have a livelyinterest in a sound and healthy judicial system. They have acommon stake in its efficient functioning. With resoluteguidance and leadership of the Supreme Court and hopefullythe Judicial and Bar Council, we can reform and improve ourjustice system and achieve the objective of providing justicefor all,

FOREWORD

Very truly yours,

Sincerely,

(Sgd.) EDGARDO J. ANGARAPresident15July 1986

One of the objectives of the U.P. Law Complex is toaddress the problems facing the bench and bar and contribute towards their alleviation. Through its Institute of JudicialAdministration, it hopes to promote high standards of justiceand improve administration of the courts. It has thus beenrecognized that an immediate problem is the heavy backlogof cases awaiting adjudication. Among the reasons to whichjudges attribute this heavy load is the lack of adequate reoference materials in the courts.

This benchguide is an innovative aid to a continuing legaleducation program and I am pleased that the Legal ResourcesCenter of the University 01 the Philippines chose to supportJudge Ricardo Pronove, Jr. in its publication. Based on thebenchbook series of the California Center fer Judicial Educa·non and Research, this publication is a 'first" in legal practice in the Philippines.

We congratulate Judge Pronove for his clear and masterlyscholarship. And we take the occasion to thank Edith Collverof the Asia Foundation lor the management and support theFoundation has extended to the project.

I am confident that this type of "bench book" will be eaqerly received by practitioners and create the need for futureguides on other topics in the practice of the legal profession.

To the author, my heartiest congratulations.

I send warmest congratulations to the Tau Omega MuFraternity and its Ladies Circle, and the Biological SciencesSociety for the continuing success of their Mindbreakersseries.

Now on its sixth year. this inter-block quiz competitionis a good venue for integrating freshmen at the UP ManilaCollege of Arts and Sciences into the University. It is a venuefor inculcating the idea that ours is a university of the spirit asmuch as of the mind. Implicit in this idea is our belief that thevigorous exercise of the mind in the spirit of healthy cornpetition should be part of the training of the best and brightest.

I wish the participants in the Mindbreakers Series VI thebest of luck.

I raise the figurative cup of good cheer to the people of theUP·PGH on the occasion of its 75th year of service to our country and people.

Through the years, the PGH has ventured out on variouspaths to arrive at its service ideal.

II has been a venue for both training and service. It hasled in bringing to the public and policy makers the messagethat public health is the nation's first defense. Its core ofdevoted doctors, nurses and staff has cared for the sick despiteinsufficient facilities and funds almost unimaginable in anysociety. Yet they persevere.

The prayer on our minds on this historic occasion for thePGH is that our government would provide more support toit in its next 75 years.

I am honored to send special felicitations to the MindanaoState University (MSU) on the occasion of its Silver JubileeAnniversary.

Twenty-five years of life lor an academic institution canbe compared to the sapling years in a tree's grow·th. It is atime for spreading solid roots and growing strong limbs. Thisis precisely what the MSU has done. Even as it continuouslydeveloped its limbs of teaching and research it has rooteditself firmly upon the fertile ground of vision and social responsibility. Thus, today, the MSU stands proudly as the tree ofknowledge and light in the Southern Philippines, shelteringunder its branches promising scholars in the arts and sciences.

I have no doubt that the coming years will continue tobring the blossoms of growth and the fruits of success to theMSU.

I send my warmest 9reetlngs to the UP JUniorMa~Association and their guests at the movie premiere ;1 Big J

Tro~ble in Little China.Much of the vigour and dynamism in the Diliman campus

is provided by the various student organizations and their wideranging activities. Like the skilled jeweler cuts a gem in a waythat its inner fire and brilliance are best shown, these organizations. in shaping campus life, allow the University's inner fireand brilliance to cast its rays outside.

CertainlY one of the most notable of these organizationsis the UP Junior Marketing Association. In its own way, it hasconstantly brought glory to the University. I wish it moresuccess.

The Filipino teacher has been the object of endlessscrutiny and discussions. Many times about low renumerationand poor working conditions, sometimes about training andprofessional development, but always about the difficulties inimproving her lot. Everyone seems agreed that hers is an incomparably valuable roie, yel . 'icre is precious little in the wayof translating that conviction into reality.

The Metrobank Foundation's yearly search for Outstanding Educators is one private sector's way of publicly recognizing the teacher's special contribution to the Nation. Thereare several awards conferring honor to other talents who areundoubtedly deserving. But the Metrobank Educators' Awardis unique because it is lor and in behalf of all Filipino teachers.

To our awardees in this year's Search, my congratulations and may you never waver in your noble work!

These are stili unsettling times for our nation. The consolldation of democratic gains we achieved last February goeson amid threatening challenges from recalcitrant sectors.And the pains of resurrecting a once ravaged economyoccupies our consciousness.

At times like these, one may think thet to spend time andattention for cultural activities should be left to hopelessdilettantes. I believe otherwise. It Is preclselv .when we battleagainst tremendous odds to maintain our hurnanuv that weneed to step back from time to time, to clear heated passionsand to neutralize weariness by submitting to benign inf1uences.

There is, I think, a universal response to goad artistry thatthe mvriad patterns of each culture canot blunt. Each culturemay bring its own demands. its peculiar categories in theappreciation of art; but these canot stiffle a question instinctiveto all men, regardless of nationality. What is the artist trying tosay?

Do I recognize my circumstances in that film? Does thatpainting capture an essence which I have been trying to define?Or is the music stirring in me familianhoughts and feelings?When the artist, whatever medium he works on, evokes theseresponses, he strikes at the lodestone of our humanity. And wesay, this man understands me. Or, he is trying to understandme.

Artists like Akira Kurosawa are the generative souls, sustaining life in a world that is equal parts decay and growth.

I send warmest greetings to the U,P, Zoological Societyand their guests at the premiere of the film, "Aliens,"

I have always wondered about the felicitous skill of ourstudent organizations in combining different purposes In asingle activity. This premiere, tor Instance, will raise funds forthe soctety's academic symposia, seminars and researches. Atthe same time, part of the proceeds will be donated to theSinagtala·Home for the Disabled, It is as If any undertaking inthe University must be justified by its civic aspect. To Someuninitiated this may appear to be pretentiousness. But it isreally nothing more than just an indication of the sense ofsocial respcnslbutty that is contagious In the University. Everconscious of this Ideal, student organizations, like the U,P.Zoological Society, constantly seek for opportunities to dogOOd.

,This year's Regional Alumni Institute, the ninth in what hopefully will be a regUlar series, seeks not only 10 unite unfversity alumni in Region X and neighboring regions but also toserve as a forum for asaesslng and defining the role of the Uni·verslty and its alumni in our society today.

The theme of this year's Instltute-"The University andConstitution Making: Challenges to U.P. Alumni" and the Syrnpoalurn on the "Constitution and Its Ratification" are Indeedbath timely. We are now at a crucial stage in our national life.We are undertaking the delicate tasks of rebuilding our countryand forging national consensus. The drafting and ratification ofa nflW constitution is vital In these efforts for upon such anacceptable political plan hinges the future direction ourcountry will take. As alumni of the country's premiere stateuniversity, It is incumbent upon each and everyone of us totake an active part in these undertakings, Twenty-three U,P.alumni ere already members of the Constitutlonal Commission.However, the task of constitution making lies not In theCommission alone but In all of us for the baste charter Is thehighest expression of the sovereign will. It Is up to us todetermine the role we will play.

I would like to congratulate the U,P. Alumni Association,particularly the UPAA Mlsamls Oriental Chapter, for Initiatingthis noteworthy activity. The Ideals of honor, excellence andservice to others for which the University stands have alwaysfound concrete manifestations in its alumni. , am confidentthat thE36~ same ideals will continue to guide us in our commonquest for a [uet, free and humane society.

My best wishes to all the constituents and alumni of UPLas Banos as it celebrates its 68th Loyalty Day and AlumniHomecoming.

It's quite timely that UPLB focus this year's celebration onthe theme "Economic Recovery Through Improved Marketing".While this campus has been traditionally associated with thesciences and technologies of agricultural production, it has actually expanded its area of concern to include marketing. UPLBhas much to offer in terms of developing the marketing systemfrom postharvest technology to processing.

Also, UPLB has strong social science departments thatundertake studies on various aspects of marketing of farmproducts as well as policy analyses on marketing progams ofthe government. Thus, it is just fitting for the University torecognize the contribution of marketing to the country's oevelopment programs. For production and marketing are like thetwo blades of a scissor. No matter how sharp each one of them-one is useless without the other.

Again, conqratulations and may you have a successfulcelebration of Loyalty Day and Alumni Homecoming.

Medicine s marriage to modern technology has brought·us a generation of doctors whose powers often exceed ourcomprehension and approach the miraculous. Specialists andresearchers are working to enable men to live longer withmechanical hearts. Ultrasonic vibrations excise tissuesunreachable by scalpel. Optic fibers probe the inermost partsof a man's body for diagnosis.

By necessity Filipino doctors must live in two worlds.Professional considerations compel them to keep up with thefast-paced world of modern medicine. But reality has put themin a far different world from the first. Where life and death orhealth and ailment is primarily a result of the contest betweenpoverty and survival. Here, ultrasonic vibrations cannot relievethe psychological sores that faster when dying men are turnedaway from hospitals for lack of money. Optic fibers will notreveal the shriveling humanity inside men who fight for theirsouls when deprivations attack physical bodies.

That is the dilemma we ali face. We don't give up trying toresolve it because we have infinite faith in man's capacity ingeneral-and in the UPdoctor's skills and flexibility.

SPEECHES

(Keynote Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara during the Open·;ng of the 5th National Productivity Movement Conference on 22

ctober 1986, Manila Garden Hotel.)

Improving the nation's productivity is not just a statement ofconcern. It should be a matter of high national priority. Making ourpeople produce more and in an efficient manner is a goal we mustfirmly and relentlessly pursue. That task is one we cannot evade forit is the only way we can maintain ourselves as a viable country.

The country today faces difficult problems of such depth andmagnitude that if not for the Filipino's basic optimism would havealready rent the country apart. We have a huge foreign debt forwhich the future of probably two generations of Filipinos has beenmortaged. We have a growing population that exerts too much strainon the nation's ability to provide nutrition, shelter, health care, livelihood, and education. Lack of employment and poverty remain acrippling burden. Worse, there are those who feed on the miseries ofmany to propagate a Godless ideology.

The optimism we Filipinos naturally exude is an importantasset in overcoming this crisis. Together with it, however. we mustrealize that we alone can ensure our own survival. Often in desperation we turn to others for assistance, hoping that we can always tumto our friends for help. But then we always came back to the realizetion that indeed we have no one else to rely on except ourselves. Itis in this sense that national psoductivity becomes imperative for wemust rely on our own resources and use them efficiently.

For that purpose, we have to take stock of all possible indlqenous inputs. What physical and tangible resources do we have?What intangible forces are working in our favor? What can we do toconserve and maximize our assets?

Last year's congress showed that as a nation we are very wasteful in the use of our resources. No less than a determined nationaleffort can stop that waste.

As true of any war, there is need for a clear understanding ofwho the real enemy is. The enemy is not waste in the abstract butthe underlying attitudes and the many acts, both big and small thatcreate waste.

If there is no substitute to victory, then the war against wastemust be pursued vigorously. The waste of time, ideas. human energyand creativity, money. materials and machinery ideally should cometo an end. How to fight this war effectively ought to be an overriding national agenda.

It is my impression that waste or the lack of an appreciation ofthe value of anything begins in the mind of an individual. Time oropportunity is wasted because there is no sense of urgency. Ideasare wasted because of the unwillingness to listen. Human creativityis wasted because of a leader's inability to motivate. Money,materials, and equipment are. wasted due to lack of concern. Thewar on waste, therefore, is mainly psychological and attitudinal.

Those who are committed to carryon a war against waste willhave to function as value disseminators or change agents. As such,the road ahead will not be smooth and easy. But with patience, perseverance, vision. and enthusiasm. victory can never be far behind.

One specific area where the war on waste should be wagedvigorously and relentlessly is the extensive government bureaucracy 101

.....~"e.Eo;;.

102

and its environment of overregulation. We know from experiencethat dealing with such a bureaucratic framework entails a lot oftime. effort. and paperwork. The wastage involved is incalculable.The thick layering of too many regulations not only frustratesprivate inititative but imposes a heavy burden on business as well.Worse, it breeds corruption.

Thus, the _dismantling of wasteful bureaucracy becomes a

maier strategy in the war against waste.~e.!. me make a final point. Last year's congress revealed that

productivity a's a major concern cannot be compartmentalized. Theproductivity level of a sector cannot be raised in isolation withoutnecessarily considering the other sectors. In fact piecemeal and uncoordinated productivity efforts proved. to be counterproductive.For instance, what good would it do to increase farm outputwithout a corresponding improvement in storage and distributionfacilities? A holistic approach is, therefore, called for - somethingthat looks at a problem from various perspectives.

It is in this area of establishing the critical linkages in the economy that government policies should be stongly oriented. Just tocite one key example, market decisions in our economy will alwaysremain faulty or poor for as long as our transport and communication system is outmoded if not unoperational. The efficiency ofthose advanced economies is"-Iargely "due 'to their up W--date a-nddependable transport and communication infrastructure.

speech of President Edgardo J. Angara during the luncheon meetingof the Rotary Club of Stu. Mesa, Quezon City on 14 November1986 at Alfredo's Steakhouse..

President Aquino, during her U.S. visit, described the house ofdemocracy we are building in the Philippines. That house is far fromfinished. It still lacks "a foundation.

We know that a house without a strong and permanent foundation lasts only for as long as the sand underneath does not shift.The 1986 Constitutional Commission has proposed to us a foundation in the form of the Draft Constitution.

A nation as a political and social system is founded on aConstitution. A Constitution lays down the framework for socialand legal relations among citizens and between citizens and government. It is called the basic charter because it is the written guaranteeof all our freedoms and rights and a commitment of the State tohonor and protect them.

Thus, the character of the political and social system of anation is first determined by its Constitution. As the house we arebuilding is for democracy, we must determine whether. the 1986Draft Constitution is the suitable foundation. We must examinewhether the pillars of democracy's house can rest firmly upon it.

The most important pillars of democracy to me are an honestand effective electoral system, strong and independent courts, a freeand responsible press, a professional military, and a responsive educational system.

In a previous time, these pillars had been moulded and reinforced. Surely they were not perfect as no human institution canhope to be perfect. But there was a popular consensus as to theirdemocratic purposes. But during the last fourteen years, they beganto rot and got decayed.

The old electoral system self-destructed during the last snappoll from accumulated abuses. The courts commanded less than thefull respect andesteem of o~.r people, a large number of them-hadturned to other means for redressing grievances. The press, once themost independent in Asia, became deeply partisan and fragmentedinto the crony and the alternative press. And over the years ourmilitary was converted into an instrument of political power. Todaywe still very much fell the deep consequences of that radical shiftof the army's role.

The task now is to rebuild those pillars of our house of democracy. They can be strong and democratic only as the constitutional foundation is strong and democratic. If the constitutional foundation is weak so must be the pillars. Then our house of democracy

would be no more than a house of cards. It would be swept alongwith our fortunes, perhaps lives, by the first ill wind that blows. ~

I submit that the Draft Constitution offers a suitable foundation for our house of democracy. Its declaration of principles andstate policies affirms the Philippines as a "democratic and republican State"_ That word "democratic" was absent in an otherwisesimilar provision in the 1973 Charter. Its addition makes explicitthe democratic theme of the entire draft.

How does the Draft Constitution propose to strenthen the pillars of democracy? The electoral process is essential to democracybecause it is the vehicle for the people's right to select their leaders.SuWrage and regular electiOn 'ensure the accountability of governorsto the governed.

All ptevious Philippine Constitutions have enshrined popularsuffrage. The new feature in the Draft Constitution gives Congressauthority "to design a procedure for the disabled and the illiteratesto vote without the assistance of other people." Hopefully, a procedure can be so designed that would protect this right of disabledand illiterates from manipulation.

Out previous Constitutions have also placed the responsibility. for ensuring free, orderly and honest elections upon a Commissionon Elections. The last commission failed miserably and the peopletook it upon themselves to assume the guardian's role. Thus, it issignificant that the Draft Charter, in enumerating the functions of eguardian Camelec, adds two criteria for successful elections. Asidefrom ensuring free, orderly and honest elections, Cometec is nowtasked with defending its peacefulness and credibility. The DraftConstitution also expressly provides that Comelec, by appropriatesupervision or regulation, should "ensure equal opportunity, timeand space, and the right to reply, including reasonable, equal ratestherefor, for public information campaigns and forums amongcandidates." This phrase is yet a new addition.

As for the development of strong and independent courts,three major features of the judiciary article otter encouragingprospects. The first is the creation of an autonomous judicia! andbar council. The council will screen and submit to the President alist of nominees for all judicial positions. Since the President islimited to the council's list for any vacant judicial post, potentialabuses under his previous discretionary powers have been eliminated. The composition of the council also puts a clear premium onintegrity and credibility. The Chief Justice is ex-officie chairmanand the Justice Minister, a congressional representative, an IBPrepresentative, a law professor, a retired Supreme Court justice anda private sector representative will complete the body. This highlevel body should be able to ensure quality judicial appointments.

The second encouraging feature is the grant of fiscal autonomyto the judiciary. This eliminates the need for the Supreme Court togo to degrading lengths in securing "the lawful funds already appropriated for the judiciary's maintenance. In the past it was notrare for' the Supreme Court to be reduced to a position of hagglingwith or begging from the Budget Ministry.

The third feature bodes well for an assertive judiciary. TheDraft Constitution now expressly defines judicial power to includethe duty of courts to settle actual controversies involving legallydemandable and enforceable rights; and, to review governmentalacts for any grave abuse of discretion. The courts will now enjoya wider latitude on examining the constitutionality of official acts.

. The Draft even allows a judicial inquiry into the factual basis of amartial law declaration or a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus.This should prevent the Supreme Court from repeating its ambivalentstand on~ ~he_'"!:I~rtial law proclamation of 1972.

The Draft Constitution has reaffirmed civilian supremacy overthe military. It makes the military "the protector of the people andthe State." It makes them responsible for securing state sovereigntyand territorial integrity. These two principles are not really new,but they are explicitly stated for the first time in the Draft Constitution. They provide clear mandate for a professional mltitarv, theonly kind that can honor those principles.

Unlike our previous Constitution, the 1986 Draft provides fora separate article on education, science and technology, arts, cultureand' sports. Its underlying theme is an educational system relevant

to "the needs of the people and society." An entirely new provisionwill warm the hearts of Our educators. Among others, it guarantees

"the highest budgetary priority to education and ensure that teaching will attract and retain its riqhtful share of the best availabletalents through adequate remuneration and other means of jobsatisfaction and fulfillment."

Last but not least, let us look at the prospects for a free and responsible press under the Draft Constitution. Since the time of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, the role of the press in thedemocracy has been widely appreciated. The press is an influentialshaper of pUbl.ic opinion. Its capacity to galvanize the minds ofcitizens behind leaders and causes is even more powerful duringthis era of instant electronic media.

Free expression on which the press thrives best is however vulnerable to government intervention. Government, as we are aware,can stiffle the press in many wavs- -- prior restraint or subsequentpunishment on publications, newsprint Quotas, licensingetc. Government can also cripple the press by cutting it off frominformation regarding official acts and policies.

The Draft Constitution forbids laws abridging among others,press freedom. It affirms the public's right to information on

matters of public concern. It grants them access to the varioussources of information regarding official acts, transactions anddecisions. More importantly, a new state policy now recognizesthe "vital role of communication and information in nationbuilding."

What I have just attempted is to outl ine the prospects for fivebasic pillars of democracy under the Draft Constitution. My outlineis neither exhaustive nor comprehensive but I hope 1 have given youa glimpse into the democratic character of the 1986 Draft. I hopethat you will study it on your own.

Address of President Edgardo J. Angara during the Annual Presentation of the Corps of Sponsors and Review in his honor and theBoard of Regents on 5 December 1986, Parade Ground, UP, DiUman.

We come together once more in observance of a tradition that,at first blush, seems peculiar to observe in a university. For thesound of marching boots may seem odd in a place so given to thequiet of minds at work. And habitual obedience to all commandsdoes not fit where freedom accorded to thought is jealousy broughtinto all spheres of action.

Military training however has an assured and honored place inthis University. And we observe this tradition not to render something peculiar less so by repetition, but more to reaffirm the right-ness of its premises.

Education would be meaningless if it does not develop in everycitizen ::j sense of duty and love for his country. It should preparehim to demonstete that love in word and deed. And the highest testof that love is willingness to defend his country when necessary.

The defense of the State is an inherent obligation of citizenship. This has been enshrined in all our Constitutions and may befound in the Draft Constitution. The State may, for its defense, callupon the people.

There lies the first premise of military training in the University. It is an eminently practical preparation for the time whenyou may be called to the same heroic paths taken by such patriotsas Emilio Aqumaldo, Gregorio del Pilar and the nameless defendersof Bataan and Corregidor. I"i. teaches you how to survive the windsof war, if by ill-fate it comes, and to survive with courage andhonor.

In a previous time. UPCMT, as we now call it, was UP ROTCand there were other young men, like you, scholars preparing forcivilian careers. When World War II came, many of them put asidethe things of a scholar's, took up the soldier's rifle and dischargedtheir duty to country with honor and gallantry. Let us pray thatnever again should young men like you face such test. The ways ofpeace are challenging enough and defense of peace equally difficult.

I come to the second premise underlying the military trainingin the University. It is only one part of a larger university education oriented towards civilian purposes. You come here to preparefor careers in the professions, the arts of the sciences. Your role asmilitary cadets is only incidental.

I think many of you here, were in EDSA early this year. In thehistoric display of civilian-military unity then, no doubt you joinedas citizens and not as military cadets. You, as part of the citizenrythere, made it unnecessary for your military brethren to use the artand science of war in winning back democracy, freedom and justicefor our land. Reflect on that experience once more and relate it toyour military training in the University.

At EDSA you learned that the ways of peace can have powergreater than that of war if the citizenry are committed to democratic aspirations. You saw vividly how love of country can bechanneled into peaceful expressions by citizens acting in theircivilian capacities. And you felt that courage and gallantry indefense of peace are twice fulfilling than the same virtues wastedin combat.

But there at EDSA too, you saw Filipino soldiers restoringmuch of the lustre on the once tarnished shield of the military. Theshame brought by corrupt and abusive soldiers in the past waswashed away by the tears of soldiers and civilians embraced in joyful reconciliation. No higher meaning can be given to that reconciliation than by seeinq in it a mutual pact between the military andthe citizens to share in nurturing the democracy peacefully won.

The military honors that pact by its efforts to carry out widespread reforms in their. organization. The goal is a professional military, bound to their oath by the Constitution to protect the peopleand the State. The same oath binds the military to the democraticprinciple of the supremacy of civilian authority.

The citizenry, on the other hand, nurtures best their newlywon democracy by participating in the rebuilding of the country's

civilian institutions. The branches of our civil government and othercivilian institutions, such as education and the press, are beingreoriented to democratic ideals and processes. After the long spellof dictatorship, the tasks of rebuilding can be difficult. But theymust be carried on without delay, spurred on by the force of avigilant public opinion. For as history tells us, weak civilian instituitions give rise to social disorder that invites the extremists ofboth the right and the left to impose by force their respective versions of social order.

And so as I take leave, I hope I have impressed upon you, University students preparing for civilian responsibilities but trained aswell in the military art, the mutual obliqations of citizens and sol-

diers in a democracy. ,

Christmas Message of President Edgardo J. Angara during the U'P,Community Christmas Festival '86 on 18 December, 1986.

We began the year 1986 with hope. The election set for February would give the people their lonq-awaited chance to elect theirpresident, after 14 years. Many Filipinos placed their faith in theelectoral system in order to achieve a peaceful transition of power.

A palpable mood of impending change was up in the air thatJanuary. Not so much because tens of thousands of Filipinos turnedout to cheer a self-acclaimed housewife; nor because elderly womenwept on dusty countrvroads as her entourage passed; and nor evenbecause Makati continuously rained yellow confetti, signifying theirsolidarity with those tens of thousands and those elderly women.The sense of hope came more from rernemberinq how difficult. itwas before to rally people behind ideas and causes going againstthe ingrained order. The apathy of the previous years was replacedby an-ourpourtnq of individual initiatives that converged in thedesire to make the election a real mechanism for change.

That hope was also rampant in the University. Students andfaculty could not fail to see the momentum for change building up.From the different sectors of the University community. organizations such as NAMFREL stocked their ranks. Our students ably 103

-~"S""0:>

104

participated in identifying and discussing public issues involved.

They contributed in giving intellectual direction and perspective to

a movement for change largely marked by sentiment and emotion.On election day, what was widely expected to be a fair and

free exercise of the ballot turned out to be false. A nation was outraged over the mockery of the electoral process.

Then, the revolution. The University students and professorstrooped to the streets, along with tens of thousands of theircountrymen. A familiar exercise for them. But this time around,they found unlikely allies in the soldiers' holed up in' Crame andBonifacio. As you know, soldiers are liked in the University onlygenerally aswhipping boys for the Collegian.

The nation came out of those four harrowing days in Feb

ruary, with much to be grateful for. So did'the University. Where

the nation was riven by partisan strife. the University was able to

preserve its essential integrity as an institution svmbolizinq dispassionate truth and objective reason, without in any way constrainingindividual member's expression of commitments.

As a bonus, the fear of losing the semester proved unfounded.

We were able to make up for disrupted classes, preserving the aca

demic credit of the students.

We saw some of the best sons and daughters of the University

join the Cabinet and sub-Cabinet ranks and the bureaucracy. The

Constitutional Commission convened in June was also a veritable

list of U.P. alumni.Our nation thrives today under a new political air born of

democratic ideals gradually being re-lnfused in public institutions

and civil processes. Cynics may persist in seeing nothing but mad

confusion. But to paraphrase Shakespeare, if this be madness,there's method to it. One leading towards a vibrant democracy.

The democratic space outside has envigorated the air of free

dom and independence that the University jealously protected

during the dictatorship years. And so. as we now await 1987 with a

sense of direction, we end 1986 as we begun it - with hope.Let me end on a personal note. This is the last U.P. Festival

and Lantern Parade I w!ll attend as your President.

As special as the Diliman Republic is, I have discovered that

time works here in the same way it does outside. Where there were

great challenges, time seemed so short. Yet, when our efforts and

dedication failed to stop some challenges from turning into pro

blems, time was unendurably slow. But for the most part of my

term, when I enjoyed being with the best and brightest of our youth

and their mentors, time has been all too swift.My lasting memory of the University, however, shall be of the

timeless U.P. Such is the U.P. I see gathered here today.

For when we come together to observe University traditions

like this, it seems to me we reaffirm our unity and pronounce ourallegiance to University ideals beyond the reach of differences in

age, sex. religious and political beliefs. Over and above our privateaffairs and causes, we recognize our ties with the' rest of the com

munity. These ties often are severely tested, but they hold, by com

mon allegiance to truth, reason and service for our nation andpeople.

As the rite here today celebrates our essential unity as an aca

demic community, we hope that this yuletide. our nation celebratesour essential unity as a people. The ceasefire pact allows for a measure of hope and optimism. But more importantly, it gives everyone the chance to work at translating hope into national reunification and optimism into a lasting peace.

It is just a chance, but let us take it.

I understand that since the Institute was established, it hassubmitted to the Office of Budget and Management three requestsfor necessary equipment, all of no avail. Its 1984 request for P725,797.00 worth of equipment, charqeableto its three million budget,was disapproved for lack of source of .fund. Its 1985 request forP1,227,850.00 was approved in principle and actually includedunder Advice of Allotment Nos. C-2449-85-4-o63 and 02-0210-86·1-004 (both dated 12 February 1986) in the amount of P5,566,OOO.00. But with the supervening changeof government the actual allotment was not released. For 1986, another request in the amount of

P1,143,650.00 has been submitted. Up to now, however, no noticehas been received 8S to its status.

Meanwhile, teaching, research and related activities in tInstitute are suffering from the inadequate facilities and laboratoryequipment. As chemisty is an eminently experimental or practical.science, the Institute faces failure asa mandated center for nationalexcellence in that field if the situation is not remedied 'seen .

The critical need to hasten economic recovery has placed small

and medium industries at the forefront of economic developmentefforts. The importance given to SMls derives from their potentialto provide gainful employment opportunities, disperse industries,qenrate foreign exchange and increaserural productivity.

With appropriate incentives and the creation of a favorablebusiness climate, the nation looks forward to a strong and dynamicsmall enterprise sector that can provide a sound basis for Philippineindustrialization.

The Institute for Small-Scale Industries of the University of thePhilippines has, since the mid-sixties, consistently batted for smallenterprise based industrialization. Its training, research, extensionand information services and programs pursue this industrialization

thrust.The study on "Potential Viable Small Enterprises in the Pro

vinces of the Philippines" is the latest of the UP ISSl's attempts tostimulate the emergence and proliferation of small enterprises in therural areas. It is hoped that the information it contains would betranslated into viable, profit-qeneratlnq and job-ereating projects byenterprising men and women in the countryside.
