As the UP Alumni Association In Metropolitan WaShing·ton, D.C. begins a new year of service to their old Universiry.I greet and thank all the officers and members.

We appreciate your solicitous care. We appreciate yourthoughtfulness, your many helpful deeds both big and small.

I thank you personally for your continuing support. It is asource of inspiration for me to behold your unflagging enthu­siasm. I thank you for being consistent (and innovative at that)in your expressions of concern for the UP 'acuity and studentbody.

The UP you left behind is still an instilution that stands tallon the Philippine landscape. Its faculty and student body stillearn honors and awards that are credited, and rightly so, to theprestige of this institution.

But like .most contemporary Philippine institutions, theUP is being besieged from all sides by challenges, not all ofthem very welcome. There are recurring problems and 'here arefresh crises.

UP administrators are therefore so relieved by 'he whole­hearted support that they regularly receive from the alumni,likeour UP alumni In WaShington.

-I I extend my warmest congratulations to the businessadministration graduates of 1984, who join the ranks of thoseprivileged to have enjoyed a unique educational experience.

Your college has long held to the tenet that businessmanagement is a profession, as worthy of serious study andpreparation as traditional fields such as law or medicine. Thus,more than merely imparting technical skills, it has patientlyevoksd from you a combination of maturity, Intellect. and anawareness of the world.

Whe~her or not the faculty has succeeded in turning outa good batch will be seen in your class reunion five or ten yearsfrom now. In the meantime, I would encourage you to cultivatea sensitivity 10 social issues-whether or nol they directlyaffect the business environment.

For only thus can you be enabled 10 help in the identifica­tion and solution of our country's problems. Only thus can yoube recognized and counted as UP graduates.

To the UP International Club:

I would like to personally congratulate each one of you for.organizing this worthy exercise. You are doing your bit to pro"mote interpersonal as well as international harmony.

In a world that so often scorns conciliatory efforts, think·ing them to be gestures of weakness, you stand out in no smallmeasure as a pocket of mutual understanding. Your little questfor peace among nations will be your strength.

Indeed, your theme, "International Brotherhood andPeace" fits in admirably with the idea of a university, that of"unity in diversity."

May everyone feel welcome, and may yeu attain the objec­tives of this activity.

Today we all seem preoccupied with whether our countrywill move left, right, or center, when what should really concernus is how to make it go forward. This is a task worthy of theprofessionals UP has trained in the field 01public health.

In the overall scheme of national development, I wouldrate public health in the same class as education and humanresources development. It is a potent force and a crucial con­cern. The country's economic and industrial health depends,after all, on the health and producti vity of the labor force, as ­well as on those of the general populace.

ing your grievance letter to September 8, 1983 against DeanNestor Pllerof the U_P. College of Arts and Sciences, Manila.

Please be advised that the Civil Service Commission hasno jurisdiction over the case at bar. (Op. Sec. of Justice No. 151;S. of 1981 _ Assuming arguendo that the Civil Service Com­mission has jurisdiction over the subject case, yet your appealto that body is premature as you have not exhausted remediesavailable within the University.

Quoted hereunder are the pertinent provisions of "Rulesand Regulations in the Discipline of UP Faculty Members andEmployees" for your information and guidance:

"Section 15. Action by the President-The decisionof the President shall be rendered within thirty days afterreceipt of such records, and the same may be appealedwithin thirty days aher the respondent 'receives a copyof such decision, to the Board of Regents."

"Section 17. Motion for Reconsideration-If therespondent had filed a petltion for reconsideration withthe President, he may still file his appeal provided thesame is submitted within the thirty-day period follow­ihg notice of denial of the reconsideration."Please be guided accordingly.

The word today is that it will take perhaps five more yearsbefore the national economy will show signs of recoveringfrom its slump. We face then a difficult immediate future. But"he problem Is not unsolvable. With resolve and discipline andcourage, the country will endure. I urge you all never to loseheart but to lose yourselves in the search for snort- and lonq­range solutions to the plight of the sick among our populace.Above all, lose no time in finding meaningful work within yourprofession.

Your special request for preferential fates has beengranted at some cost to the Computer Center. The Centerusually does not accept jobs on its microcomputers becausethese are heavily used. Moreover, because of the sudden in­crease of costs In just the past month, lit is now estimated thatthe full cost of the job is more like ~11,500 instead of the con­tract price of ~3,OOO previously agreed upon with the Officer­in·Charge of the Center.

We hope that the telex dispatched 18 January 1984 Inanswer to your queries was satlstactcry. May I Wi you In onsome additional details pertaining to the selection of Mr. Jos.Famando Alcantara for the faculty development program.

As early as December 8, 1982, I had nominated Mr.Alcantara, a talented student and an ellective leader, forgraduate studies In Political Science to the University of SouthCarolina. At the time, USC President James Holderman and Iwere finalizing a memorandum of agreement between ouruniversities. I have no hesitation In nominating him as our firstrecipient of the faculty development fund to the USCas he hasa tremendous potential for leadership.

This observation has been corraborated by IncumbentVlce·Chancellor for Student Allalrs Luis D. Baltren who attestto Mr. Alcantara's intelleclual as well as leadership ability andyouthful vllality which have successfully sustained himthroughout his activities as past Chairman of the U.P. StudentCouncil and In other positions of the different national andcampus student organizations. Shortly before his departure,:he was a lecturer on Rlzalln the Department of Plllplno of theCollege of Arts and Sciences.

I am convinced that he Is a serious, persevering andassiduous student and Is strongly mottvated to obtain a grad·uate degree.

As to the anticipated length of his stay, he has applied fora Master's program In Political Science which normally wouldtake two years. I am certain he can provide you with otherpertinent records and Information himself. I, of course, assumethat he Is keeping In touch with your office.

The withdrawal of your appointment papers as lecturerat the School of Development Economics appears justified bylack of proof that you're the holder of a Bachelor's Degree. As aconsequence, your enrolment in the Graduate Studies Programcannot also stand.

The University of the Philippines marked its DiamondJubilee. with renewed commitment and dedication to the pur­poses for which the University was established. To ensure itscontinuing relevance 10 the needs of a changing Philippinesociety. it has reexamined the structures and workings both of

•

. cademlc programs and ancillary training services. Amonganges effecled wes the Integretlon, through a resolution

adopted by the Board of Regentsion 27 January 1983, of all U.P.GMT units under one direction by the creation of the CMT as adepartment of the University. The underlying reason for this isthe conviction that all students in the University should enjoythe same standards of instruction and training in whateverschool of the University they may be enrolled.

At present, of the five AFP established UP CMT units,three (U.P. Iloilo, U.P. Cebu, and U.P. Baguio) are under theArmy Reserve Command, and two (U.P. Dillman and U.P. LosBanos) are under the Metropolitan Citizen Military TrainingCommand. It is felt that the purpose of integration in U.P. willbe better achieved by a corresponding integrative action on thepart of the AFP.

May we therefore request the establishment of a differentorganization thai wouid be in charge of all U.P. CMT unitsindependent of MOMTC and ARESCOM effeclive at end of thesecond semester in March of this schoolyear. A U.P. Depart­ment of Military Training (UPDCMn with the Commandant

Department will serve the purpose of sustaining the stand­ard of training in this particular area along the line of excel­lence that the University Is known for.

Prolessor Haydaa B. YoracCollege 01 Law .University of the PhilippinesDiliman, Quezon City

DearProfessor Yorao:

This has relerence to the petition for clemency you havemade In behalf 01 Mr. Excelsior C. zapanta.

Your petition prompted a review of the records of Mr.Zapanta's case as well as acareful assessment and considera­tion 01the points you raised In his behalf.

I regret to Inform you, however, that, though I understandfUlly the Impact upon Mr. Zapanta of his family history, I amunable to grant your request for Ihe following reasons:

1. Mr. Zapanta did not lust lalsify the slqnatures 01 hisfive professors. He altered his grades, changing a "2" to "1.25"and "NG" ("No Grade") to a "2". These he did in not lust onebut in three documents. His case Is thus much more seriousthan Ronaldo Kalayan.

2. He did not obtain "excellent grades" at Ihe time hecommitted the grave acts of dishonesty and falsification.Initially, all hIs grades for the semester in question were one"NG" ("No Grade") and lour "Inc." ("Incomplete"). He was Iinallygiven a "2.5" In one subject and a "2" In another.

3. His psychological condition, as reported by Ihe psychi­atrist, was not such that it can be said tha~ he, who appearsto be of more than average intelligence, did not understand thenature and consequences of his acts.

4. My authority to modify or alter the decision of anadministrative body must alway~ be predicated on its beingrequired "by the larger Interests of the University." I find itinconceivable how the grant of clemency to Mr. Zapanta can beso considered. On the contrary, it will only serve to establish abad precedenl that will considerably erode and tarnish thetradition of honor, integrity and excellence that has been thehallmark 01 this University and made itlhe great and respectedInstitution that It is.

SPEECHES

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

(Message of President Edgardo J. Angara at the Ceremoniesfor Service Awards and Reaffirmation of Commitment to U.P,on 6 January 1984, U.P. Amphitheatre.)

I, who have been in the University's service for 30 monthsto date, would like to congratulate you all who have completedyour twentieth year of service to U.P. You Should count your­selves fortunate to be ~o firmly associated with this premiereducational Institution of the country. Not many administrators,employees, or even fellow faculty members can claim a similarhonor. Not many can rightfully claim that they have alwayssided with the U.P. through lean years and prosperous ones,through crises on the campus and through the crossroads oftheir careers, no matter the sacrifice it entailed. Few can makeso unconditional an assertion of proven commitment as youare capable of.

Indeed, those of us here who are, relatively speaking,newcomers, count ourselves privileged· to be honoring youtoday. In the lives of most institutions, there often come criticalperiods when survival and the 'questlon of continuity are thechief worries and concerns. All too often, these crises havecome about in the wake of a sharp drop In morale. It was notthe lack of means, but the lack of spirit, fhat Inevitably broughtabout disunity and decay.

Simply speaking, no institution can thrive without dedicatedindividuals to keep it alive and strong. No Ideal can become aconvincing reality-and neither can any Ideal continue tobecome a reality-if it does not enjoy the support of perseveringpersonnel.

You who work in the U.P. itself represent the biggest singlegroup of supporters-bigger than the alumni, I dare say. For that,

I am greatly Indebted to you au. No doubt thousands 01 ourformer students, now alumni, are likewise in your debt for hal/ingmade the university run as it should for so long.

And so, by way of thanks, we've been doing our best toIncrease your income level.

Last November 24, the Board of Regents formal Iy approvedthree proposals for the improved financial condition of U.P.employees. The first was the year-end incentive grant. Thesecond Is a two-step salary increase scheduled for this month.And the third is an addltlonel Incentive grant equivalent toanother two-step increase by June, This third move is contingenton our ability to generate sufficient income and save enoughmoney for it. If all goes well, we could probably have it retroactiveto January. .

While we are on this topic, I might as well mention that weare currently revising the posltlon classification and pay plan.We aim for a more equitable allocation of work and pal

In conclusion, I will request you for a bit more of yourpatience and spirit of hard work. We will weather the currentcrisis by toughening up, and not by turning soft and selfish.No problem is too big that cannot be solved by human will andeffort.

TO CULTIVATE OUR OWN MUSICAL HERITAGE

(Speech 01 President Edgardo J. Angara at the NationalMusic Council of the Philippines Symposium and GeneralAssembly on "The Filipino Musician in Crisis" on 15 January198401the CCP Little Theater.)

Crisis is a term often used these days. Undoubtedly, aneconomic and political crisis of unprecedented magnitude isfacing us today. While this crisis may indeed be a fearful monster,it can also be the social catalyst that will release the creativeenergies we know lie in the Filipino. Any crisis is a challengethat either crushes or brings out the best in us, lor it is oftenunder stress that hidden qualities emerge.

There are different kinds of crisis. Today, when I speak 01the crisis confronting the Filipino musician, I do not refer to thecrisis confronting our economic planners. No doubt that crisistoo affects musicians. But the crisis I will explore touches theFilipino artist more deeply because it has to do with his spiritualcondition.

A close look lnto contemporary musical life in the Philippinesshows the Filipino musician at a cultural crossroads, whereurgent decisions need to be taken regarding his future directionas an artist. To understand his problem, it is necessary 10

appreciate the purpose of mustc.ln life and culture.~s art, music reflects the various aspects and pnases of

human life. It expresses ideas, aspirations and beliefs that canraise man to higher spiritual planes. It develops such qualitiesas refinement, gentleness, humility and respect for others.Such qualities are necessary to the moral climate of a cultureor civilization. The value of music therefore is more than aesthetic,it is also a civilizing force.

In contemporary Philippine history, our colonial experiencecontinues to erode cultural values that are relevant to an Asianway of life. A preference for alien patterns of living has engen­dered a materialistic culture where power is measured in moneyand dignity is commensurate with property.

In these circumstances, we find the Filipino musicianpressured Irom all sides. Through the strong demands ofcommercialism, the Filipino musician and his music havebecome commodities.

There is nothing Intrinsically wrong with the commercialdistribution of Filipino music. All music is meant to be heard byordinary people and they should really be the judges 01 whatmusic they should have. But,l think, some effort should also beexerted to educate that public in the music lorm truly native toour culture so that, with the market created thereby, our purely

1native mus-e will have an equal chance to grow and develop

I believe that all Filipino musicians should aspire to ti~e

proficiency of a Cecile Licad because music, wheresoever itoriginated, has a universal appeal and sets a unlversallyvafldstandard of excellence. I think it is here in music where we candemonstrate the qualities of our race.

But even as we try to demonstrate our equal proficiencywith Germans, Japanese, Chinese and Americans in the per­formance of Western classics, we should not forget to cultivateour own musical heritage because that is how we the Filipinos.shall repay the great men of music for their artistic gift to us.

Serious musicians throughout the world are studyingHindu, Japanese and Arab music, not to mention the rhythm ofAfrican musical arts. I should like to see the day when the sameinterest and respect Is shown to our music.

The effort to appreciate Filipino music must, of course,begin with us. The National Music Council should, for one,focus its resources on this project.

At the University of the Philippines a research program hasbeen going on since the 19505. The Council might supportsimilar programs in universities in the Southern and Northernparts of the country. It could prevail upon our law-making bodiesto provide funds for such a program including that of theUniversity of the Philippines.

Many of the members of the Council are graduates inmusic education. Some teachers may work on new text-booksand curricula, teaching native music and an Asian music cultur

The Council may be able to prevail upon radio and TVplay, sometimes, native music. There are long-playing recorand video tapes available.

Music research into our musical past, along with Asia'smight yet inspire the same creative burst that classical learningproduced in Renaissance Europe.

EDUCATION IS WHERE THE PROBLEM-ANDTHE SOLUTION-BEGINS

(Speech 01 Presidenl Edgardo J. Angara at the PICPAInduction of 1984Officers, Directors, and Committee Chairmenand First Membership Meeting on 20 January 1984 et theGrand Ballroom, Intercon.)

We Filipinos measure development in Western terms.We pattern our national goals after such models as the uniiteStates. It is our aim and consuming passion to live an existethat parallels that of America-in its material comfort, its value,its outlook. But that, unfortunalely, covers only those of us,Filipinos, who have been inordinately exposed to an Americaneducation and way of life. For the rest of the Filipinos, there areother values, other ways of looking at, and working on, things.It is this discrepancy between the managerial mind and nativereality that may explain, even partly, why with all our widelyacknowledged expertise in managemenl, Philippine businessand industry is in a dismal state.

There are, of course, other factors that account, perhapsto a greater extent, for the state of our economy.The Qrowingexternal debt. Public policy on economic development thatleaned heavily on import substitution, which breeds inefficiency.But some of the blame must lie with our managers, who, afterail, held these companies that have lailed in their hands. Why,for instance, the low productivity?

There is growing evidence that the blame lies in the discre­pancy between the managerial mind-set and the native realitiesit must cope with. Today, we are increasingly convinced thatthe process of development cannot be patterned after paradigmsfurnished by the West. Our failures have begun to persuade usthat if we are to achieve Philippine success we shall have to _do it in a Filipino way.

body, we should be perfectly capable of performing a dispas­slonate analysis of the roots of this crisis. We should alsogenerattt alternative Ideas towards the shaping of a beuer future.In lhese and many other ways, the University will help ease theprevailing social tensions, and hasten economic recovery.

As for these prevailing tensions, nowhere are they morevisible than In the field of industrial relations itsell. Layofls,strikes, workers' protests and grievance rallies-all these areby now a weekly occurrence. Workers and their families arehardest hit by the peso devaluation. they lose their means oflivelihood by the thousands. Their dependents cry out for breadand social Justice. Employers are meanwhile stymied by theextreme dilliculty In obtaining letters of credit. They are plaguedby hlgil Interest rates. They are hampered by the depressedeconorn Iemarket.

What can we do to restore the conditions that will offersome relief and a possible solution to our dilemma? I am certainthat the Institute can contribute its expertise to help improveour present situation.

For one thing, the Institute can continue to advise publicleaders and industrial managers how industrial peace andnational productivity can be maintained in these critical times.This will be done, in the main, by strengthening your threebasic functions. The first is to teach industrial relations at thegraduate level. The second is to conduct extension work in theform of workers' education. The third is to conduct research onindustrial relation and other relevant issues.

For another, the Institute can continue to raise importantfacets of our industrial system to higher levels of scholarlyunderstanding. In this regard, I am pleased to note that you arecarrying on with your symposIum series on New Dimensions inIndustrial Relations. I congratulate Dean Gatchalian and thankFriedrich Eberl Stittung for this invitation. In your own way,you are pushing forward the University's Five·Year Plan for1984-88. Specitically, you are advancing towards the goal 01disseminating the results 01 high-ealiber symposia to policy­makers, opinion-molders, and the general public.

Let me now make a few suggestions.It would seem that the number 01 IlR enrollees coming

from the labor sector is very lew. I would suggest that you offermore graduate fellowships. That should enable willing souls topursue graduate studies at the IIR in greater numbers. Such adevelopment is bound to have a ripple effect on the rest of thebody of labor leaders. We are prepared to support this.

Your building and facilities could also use some renovation.May I suggest that Dean Gatchalian take up this matter withChancellor Tabujara and Vice Chancellor Simpas? Let us striveafter physical improvements that will upgrade your teachingcapacity. Let this not prevent you, however, from seekingalternative sources of funding for a possible new InstituteBUilding.

Let me finally announce that one Diamond Jubilee protes­soriat chair has been allocated to your lnstitute.'! hope we cansoon add one or two more.

In closing, let me reiterate my congratulations to the Deanand to his staff for holding this planning workshop. I expect tosee the results soon, in the form of proposals for strengtheningyour graduate program, and proposals for intensifying yourstudy of Phitipplne Industry relations.

May you have a fruitful workshop. Thank you, and good day.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE PUBLIC AD DO THINGS

(Speech 01 President Edgardo J. Angara read lor him byExecutive Vice President Oscar M. Alfonso at the ClosingCeremonies at the First Nationwide Assessment Conferenceon Public Admlnistraiion, 3 February 1984, AIT Crossroads.)

There Is no better time to discuss the discipline of publicadministration than now. The nation is in a state of crisis. The

economy Is in a shambles. There is a paralyzing uncertaintyabout the country's political future. Against every normal instinctof self-preservation, the Filipino people refuse to move, to doanything that will rectify the situation. This is particularly truein the economic sector. No one is movIng. Believe me, it is notjust a question of the IMF restructuring of our loans. Even ifthat restructuring takes place, even if new loans are given topay partially for the old, I do not believe that the crisis will end.No one is going to move.

Outside the Philippines, there are already signs of aneconomic recovery. Now, unless the Filipinos shake themselvesout 01 this numb state Ihey right now prefer to be in, that recoverywill take place and move on, and leave us too far behind to evercatch its coattail.

Why are we in this state of paralysis? There is a I,!iew,which I am beginning to appreciate, that the reason tor theeconomic paralysis of developing nations like the Philippinesis the almost non-existence of an effective pubnc administration.I think that all nations depend for an effective economy on agreat deal of national coordination 01 its economic activities.That coordination is provided by public administration systems.Where that system is non-existent or is a mockery of what itshould be, there can be no real economic progress. That is thecondition in Which countries like ours lind th'emselves. That iswhy I say there is no better time to discuss the discipline ofpublic administration than now.

I should like to point out that this observation, that publicadministration plays akey role in development, is not a new one.II is old. But, like the best pieces of wisdom, it is old and torqotten.let me explain.

I will paint you a scenario of a nation in crisis. Consider anation with its economy literally in ruins. Its factories are rubble.Its balance of payments position is indescribably tilted against it.Us Iorelqn reserves are down to the level where no furtherimportation 01 even the most essential raw materials is anylonger possible. Unemployment levels are danqerousty high­and to compound the danger there is a burgeoning Communistinsurgency in the countryside.

Have I just described the Philippines today? No. That wasour country in 1949. As you know we weathered that crisis.Many of us look back to the years that followed-the tifties­as years of calm and modest-but steady-prosperily. Most ofthe great fortunes were made in those years. Many of thesoundest businesses existing today were estaolished then.How did we do II?

In response to this crisis, the Philippines asked for Americanassistance. We did not ask for money. We asked the Americansto help us understand the problem ard find solutions­solutions we would implement with native resources. TheAmericans responded with the Bell Mission. That missioncame up with a package of reforms as the answer to the crisis.That package left no sector 01the economy untouched.

Tax and fiscal improvement, land reform, minimum wageschedules, and a major reorganization of the Philippine bureau­cracy were some at the salient points of this package. The BellMission, however, stressed that the most important element inthe program ot recovery was the role of pubtlcadmlmstration.The Bell Mission sa!d-and here I quote: "the success 0' thedevelopment program may depend more on the efficiency andhonesty of the public service than on any other single factor."An indication of how·strongly the Mission held this convictionwas the -establlahment in the U.P. of the fnstltute of PublicAdministration in 1952 upon the recommendation of the BellMission.

With the establishment of the Institute. the managementof government affairs became a discipllne in the Philippines.In no time, the country realized the importance of the work theInstitute was doing. The usual economic response to a greatdemand followed and soon there were public administrationcourses offered in over 60 state and private schools throughoutthe country.

Some acquaintance with the discipline of public adminls-

lt~tlon Is better than total ignorance ~I a structured and logical,';sponse to public administration problems. Stili, I must pointoUI, tnat the undirected way in which public administration hasbeen taught throughout Ihe Philippines has denied Ihe countrythekind 01efficient civilservice it needs fordevelopment.

This lack of direction must now be supplied. This, I take it,Isoneof themain tasks you set. for yourselves inthis conference.

The crisis today is of such a magnitude that I believeit deserves an effort at least equal to the Bell Mission In serious­ness. Definitely, that effort must direct itself, as the Bell Missiondid, to the problems of public administration.

I, of course, do not believe we need to call in outslde helpto enable us to understand and solve our problems, particularlyin public administration. In the past 30years we have developedtheexpertise to cope with the problems. What we need, however,is to spread this expertise among the many more people weshall needto man a truly effective public administration system.

Spreading the techniquesof public administration meansa larger corps of competent teachers. Whether this meansmorefull·timeprofessors. adequately paid,or a rightmixof full- iandpart-timeprofessorships Is foryou to consider.

For its part, the U.P. used to have consortiumagreementswith variousschoolsby which our professors taught on weekendsto augment and help train their teaching staff. This may not bethe most appropriate arrangement since II may foster dependencewhich neither my university nor yours wants to encourage.Perhaps some kind of facully exchange for short periods can

•rted.~y University also stands ready to assist In Ihe Facully

Development Program01the ASPAP,whether it be the holdingof summer institutes, refresher courses or special seminars.We are also now exploring the possibility of offering scholarshipsto faculty members of other Institullons so that they can earntheir MPA or DPA in the U.P. I call on other Presidents and theDeans present here to consider this program so that we canhelp each otherstrengthen our respective faculties. Let us alsoconsider the possibility of a semester or two of special studies

. outside one's own university so that a faculty memberdoesnotstayoutside his homeregionfor too long a period.If they desireto study in the U.P., they may be able to take advantage of a

. new research fellowship program that I am instituting that willenable full·time students to work closely with Ihe CPA lacully.

Let us now consider another problem area. Members ofIhe academe point out the apparent lack of indigenous trainingmaterialscomparable in quality to those devisedand producedabroad. I believe this Is in large part a result of centuries ofcolonial conditioning.Thereseems to be a partiality for Iorelqn-_ ced instruction materials. I suppose there are validr ns for such partiality. However, our dependence on suchmaterials has in effect retarded the quality level of locally­produced ones. In corr.ecting this defect let us not, however,sacrifice quality forlocal relevance.

I think this conference is a step In the right direction. I amopttrnlsttc that through conference such as this and throughthe inspired and untiring efforts of the members of the discipline,a program truly responsive to the requirements of the nationwill be realized.

I thank youand wishyou success.

TO SHED LIGHT, NOT TO RADIATEPARTISAN HEAT

(Keynote Speech of President Edgerdo J. Angara at theUniversity Colloquia on "Nation In Crisis" on 24 February 1984,Malcolm Theatre, UP Colfege ot Law.)

Keynote Is a delicate task. It can set the tone of the sub­sequent discussionsand, to that extent, misrepresent the truethinking one had hoped to elicit from the discussants. On theone hand, it can chill the splrtt of free,wheeling Intellectual

exchange on the part of Ihe naturally timid. Or II can excite theintellectual to exaggerate hia otherwise reasonable viewssimply in the spirit of contradiction. I want to avoid bolh.Not because I am prepared to sacrifice my own partisan pointof view for Ihe sake of maintaining an atmosphereof convivialityduring these discussions, but becausemy own partisan view Isthat the cold, Impartial neutrality of a sober jUdge,as we lawyerslike to put it, is the frame of mind most appropriate to thediscovery of truth.

I have a vision 01 the University as the preeminent forumfor the disinterested search,and the arena for the remorselessdiscussions, of the infinite variety of transformatlve truths thatpowerful and disciplined minds can find, invent, defend ordestroy.

TheUniversityhad declared Its faith In the limitless fecundityof free and disciplined minds, resigned to the eternal eluslve­nessof ultimate truths, but determined, nonetheless, to continuethe search for these truths, without ever blinding itself to theperennial provlslonallty ot its findings.

This is the University of the Philippines-and lnstttuttongreater than any single truth and, as time has Shown, far moredurable.Not the embodiment of a particular truth, bUIa standingInvitation to find truth's manifold face in the history. Now andIhen, II has been the hostage of an intellectual faction (whatI really meant was fashion), but ultimately, It has proved ltselflntractabte to any but Its special purposes.

Only eight months ago, the general feeling was that,although the economy wasn't doing well, it would evenluallyImprove. In the meantime one could be comfortable with thesocial state of affairs. And then one single bullet threw all ourcompiacency to the wind.

The event Itself was frightening and certainly revolted ourmoral sense. But the massive demonstrations that followed,demonstrations composedof all sectorsof society,caused me,first, beWilderment, and then annoyance over my inability topredict the events or even to be able to explain them. After awhile I began reading the same old tired explanations for thesocial phenomenon, unprecedentsdtn our history, that waslaking place before my eyes. I remain completeiy dissatisfiedwith the explanations to date. .

I regard the event of August 21, 1983and the events thatfollowed as an indictment of the Intellectual class in our country.It is a class that has indUlged Its own fantasies at the expenseof its real obligation to providea clear and coherent picture ofPhilippine reality, a picture untainted by partisan goals.

I was therefore glad when I read the call of one of ourdisllnguished colleagues for an intellectual forum directedexclusively to our most pressing concerns: politicalsuccessionand political order in a fluid society, the role of the military, andthe fate of our economy.Theanswerto that mill is this colloquim.

I am equally happy that the Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Gamma Mu,and Phi Sigma, three respected international honor societieshave accepted joint sponsorship of this series of scholarlydiscussions. .

The UniversityIs a place of the mind. It is not a soup bowlof public emotions served with the latest catchwords from thesociaf disciplines. I do not deny the ~.tlsfaction derived fromemotional releases. But that Is not what we should, as membersofa University, IndUlgein. .

AN HONEST RE·EVALUATION THIS TIME

(Keynote Speech Of President Edgardo J. Angara at theUnited Methodis, Church Launching of the Renewal Forum on25 February 1984 at the Aberdeen Court, Quezon BoutevardExtension.)

There are three issues which you want me to discuss inyour renewal forum today. I wish, however, to limit myself toonlyone-e-the issue of public service and discuss it in a broadhistorical context.

The issue of public service is basically a question 01publicaccountability which in turn implies that public office has aninherent fiduciary character. This whole idea of public account­abifi'y has a noble and ancient lineage.

lf we go back to the history of classical political thought,we discover that such great minds as Plato, Aristotle, St.Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Hobbes, and Johnlocke, among others, share common philosophical insights.They all agree that political authority is accountable to some­thing or someone higher. Call it God, the Divine Reason,naturallaw, or a group of persons upon whose consent politicalsociety becomes possible. Whatever, political power is notsomething absolute but a public trust that must be accounted for.

This principle of accountability was there too in the writingsof the propaganda movement in Spain. Rlzal, Del Pilar, andLopez Jaena who were all committed to promote the cause ofthe motherland among the declslon-rnakers in Madrid found inthe Egalitarian outlook of the age of enliqtitenment a valuableally. They eloquently argued that the colonial master is morallyanswerable to the people of the colony.

When Spain failed to heed the clamor 01 the colony forreforms, the Filipinos had to stage a revolution. The firstPhilippine Hepubllc was born with its own constitution outliningthe structure of a representative government. In the MalolosConstitution we could already' see the idea of accountabilityembodied in the political framework. Members of the tegislaturewere indirectly elected I:' the people and were, therefore,ultimately accountable to them. Unfortunately, the first PhilippineRepublic, the first ever in Asia was too snort-llved, The processof setting up political institutions by our native political geniuswas aborted by American conquest. We can only wonder whatwould have become of the political plan of government underthe Malolos Constitution had we remained free.

The new colonial master transplanted on Philippine soilthe seeds of its own political experience. The republican traditionof the United States sought '0 replicate itself in the Philippines.Through the Philippine Bill 011902 and the Jones Law of 1916,the American colonial government tried to recast the structureof government and the direction of politics, putting greatemphasis on the institutionalization of the mechanisms ofpublic accountability. Thus, an independent Judiciary wasestabtlsned. Periodic elections were instituted. Civil servicewas instaUed. Free media were encouraged. And an independentwatchdog was set up to insure fidelity in the handling of publicfunds.

These institutional mechanisms were all designed to givesubstance to the proposition that public office is a public trust.Throughout the American colonial period, public accountabilitywas fully operational, practice matching theory. A whole bodyof political and legal literature evolved highlighting the fiduciarynature of public office. Students and practitioners of politicswere quite familiar with the words of the late Justice Malcolmin Cornejo vs. Gabriel (41 Phil. 188)-that the basic idea ofgovernment in the Philippines "is that of a representative

government, the officers being mere agents and not rulers ofthe peopie, one where no one manor set of men has a proprietoryor contractual right to an office, but where every officer acceptsoffice pursuant to the provisions 01 law and holds the office asa trust for the people whom he represents."

It could be said that the institutions of public accountabilitywere functioning well during the American regime. We hardlyknow of any massive electoral fraud perpetrated during theperiod. The jurists were highly respected and admired. Thereyvas pride in the Civil Service. There was vigilance in themonitoring of public expenditures. It was an era with a knowncode of high public conduct and work ethic.

With the recovery of our independence and the withdrawalof American sovereignty in 1946, the political atmosphere wasdrastically changed. The absence of the colonial master openedthe gates to relentless struggle for power among politicalparties. Independence did not lead to the emergence of a unifiedpeople. On the contrary, postwar politics unveiled the lesleringdivision.

When we recall such remarks as "What are we in power for?"'''What is wrong with a man providing for his future?"-utteredby postwar political figures, one begins to wonder whateverhappened to the ideals and traditions of public service thatwere carefully nurtured over the years.

What happened to the ideals of public service so wellenshrined in literature and in practice only a few years ago?One possible explanation for the decline in values and a shiftin perspectives was the trauma caused by the Japanese occu­pation. There could be other reasons.

But what was starkly revealing about the early postwarperiod was the rapid erosion in public morals. Memories ofscandals in the Immigration quotes and the war surplus andthe electoral frauds of 1949 still haunt the survivors of thatgeneration. And to think that all these betrayals of public trusthappened ie too short a period from 1946to 1949.

The postwar political era saw the beginning of the rise andfall of administration on the main issue of graft and corruption.It was as If no other issue mattered to the electorate then. Fromthe early 50s up to the early 70s, the nation experienced a swiftand sustained deterioration of its political system to a pointthat the very survival of the republic was at stake. Martial Lawwas imposed precisely to stop the dismemberment of therepublic, Martial Law was avowedly used as an instrument ofrenewal that would promote the governing of the nation, publicservice and discipline.

In perspective, perhaps it is timely to ask if Martial Lawhas proved to be an instrument of renewal. Has it really servedits original purpose? To its credit, Martial Law prevented thecomplete breakdown of peace and order. The dismantling ofprivate armies and the confiscation of loose firearms werewelcomed measures.The speed with which decisions were madepaved the way for an acce'erated economic development. Andin the diplomatic trent. the country's international reach wasextended to new frontiers.

Some observers, however, would like to weigh the gains ofMartial Law against its shortcornlnqs.Btven the various trade­otts, do the country and people really benefit? Has the judiciarybeen strengthened in the process? Has the press been free?Has the quality of legislation improved? Has there been ~

marked improvement in the overall public service deliverysystem? In other words, has the sense, substance and structuresof public accountability improved?

In our attempt to review the evolution of the concept ofpublic service and its supporting institutions of public account­ability, we must now focus our attention on the present state ofaffairs. It is rather difficult to be totally objective in our assess­ment of the present primarily because we are in it either asactors or observers. Even the observer is affected by what hesees around him.

But there is one common need. One common demand.That is a change in the status quo. People may differ-

{. hon"stiy disagree-over the approach and manner by Whld~" such change shall be effected. But the common perception

,""pears strongly in lavorof a change in the status QUO.

Given the popular clamor for change. what are the variousalternatives being proposed? One school of thought advocatesthat the first important step to Institute change within an ailingpolitical system is to participate In the forthcoming parliamen­tary elections.

What can be of special significance in the May Batasanelections is the opportunity it will provide, assuming that theground rules are fair to all, to help cleanse the system. If theelectoral process is institutionalized with all the necessarysafeguards then there really is a mechanism whereby thepeople can have their will registered and counted. Public scrutinyof government policies and actions and voters' appraisal ofpublic sector performance will help prevent abuses of power.

But there are those who question Whether it is at all possible

•

•

to Initiate reforms within the system. Hence, they would boycottthe May etecttons, believing that the rules of the game arerigged In favor of the ruling party. Moreover, they hold thatparticipation in the electoral process will just legitim'ize 'thevery political machinery that they have been questioning.

The third view is a complete rejection of the establishedpolitical order. They are diametrically opposed to the wholesystem of institutions and values. Theirs is the advocacy of anarmed struggle through which they hope to install their ownideology and bureaucracy.

Indeed our situation calls for a new beginnings, an honestre-evatuatton of our laws, our values,' our institutions at themost basic level. Man's one enduring quality is his capacity forrenewal. The process of the human race is made possible byman's own ability to come up with n.ew ideas. new structures,new processes. It is man's own creativity that ensures his ownsurvival a~d progress. We can do no less.

THE COVER

At the Palma Hall's first floor lobby last May 18 1984.Education Minister Jaime C. Lava joined a dialogue with UPstudentson the tuition fee increase proposal. The Education Minister's pre­sence was somehow a reminder that the UP is a tax-supported insti­tution in a developing country where many priorities compete for

limited publlc funds. His coming to the heart of UP to talk with thestudents was an indication of the importance placed on their views.The dialogue itself symbolized the value placed on rational discus­sion and cooperation for the resolution of University issues.

The tuition fee issue has already been the subject of so muchpublic and private discussions, some of them very heated. Thestudents, and their parents, are concerned about the added burdenon family incomes. BL _just aslegitimate is the view that the Univer­ltv, as subsidized, snould not bear alone the brunt of the soaring

costs of educational services. The Diamond Jubilee just past hadbrought to the fore the sorry state of the UP's libraries, laboratories,and physical plant as well as of its faculty's remuneration. At pre­sent, 85% of eachstudent's tuition is subsidized by the government,and 15% by their parents. The difficult times warrants just a littlemore contribution from the students.

Minister Laya, as head of the committee created by PresidentMarcos to study the financing of education in UP, came to reassurethe students that their views would be taken into consideration. But 'he also stressed that the proposed increasewould reduce the Univer­sity's dependence on external funding and this enhance its jealouslyguarded autonomy.

For his part, USC Chairman Leandro Alejandro articulatedthe students' view that education is a right which the State mustadequately provide for. (A month later, this view was raised incourt by some students who petitioned for and got a temporaryrestraining order stopping the implementation of the proposal forthe first semester.I He also decried the inadeouacv of recent in­

creases to the UP subsidy.If anything, the dialogue brought the realization that the

times are indeed difficult. That cooperation based on understanding

is crucial.

The essence of the UP education lies in the concept of know­ledge as a tool for social relevance. The University of the Philippinesaims not only to provide students the highest standards of educationto prepare them for their future professions but to provide thesestudents as well the opportunity for social awareness out of the uni­versity's notable involvement in national issues.

UP graduates are indeed recognized leaders of industry andsociety. They are known to be outstanding professionals in industryfor the unparalleled abilities that they possess, But beyond such re­cognition, they are respected even more for reconciling professionalexpertise with social cause in Philippine society.

For all that the public has distinguished you so, let yourdiploma then serve the symbolic purpose of being a UP graduate forthe Filipino people.

I am pleased to note the enthusiastic efforts of the UP Asso­elation of European Languages students exerted towards enrichingthe University's academic and cultural atmosphere,

SPEECHES

BUSINESS IN POLITICS(Speech a! President Edgardo J. Angara at the General Mem­

bership Meeting of the Management A$$Ociation of the Philippines(MAP) on 2 April 1984at Manila Peninsu/a Hore/Ballroom.)

I am asked to speak here about the present condition ofbusiness and its prospects in the light of current developments.That's the work of a risk analyst, I am a lawyer and now an acede­mic. At best I am a student of public affairs, but even in that limitedrole I hesitate to project. I prefer to limit myself to understanding,

What the future will be we shall know as the future unfolds. What isimportant is that as events unroll before our eyes we shall be able tounderstand them in the light of what we know of the present,Today, what interests me in business is not its future as business butits role in politics, This, I believe, is new. And it may herald a futureof which we have experienced no parallel in the past. This, thereforeis my subject today: the role of business in politics.

The critical date is August 21. Before that date, the role ofbuisness in politics was nothing, zero, There were politicians whowere businessmen and businessmen who were politicians - out busi­ness, as such, was never in politics In our country, I shall return tothis date - August 21 - later on. But first, as a beginning. I should1'1 ke to refer you to another date: September 21, 1972, the declara­tion of Martial law.

That date is said to mark the banishment of business frompolitics, specifically of the "oligarchs", and the banishment of poli­ticians from politics. The occasion, which was martial law proclama­tion, was said to' mark the end of politics in our country and thebeginning of - the word used then was: progress.

Why was -it necessary to banish business from politics? Thepartisans of martial law said that business had become so involvedin politics that the political energies and resources of our countrywere being deflected from their properly democratic purposes tothe service of purely private interests. It was necessary to pry loosethe hold of business on the levers of political power so that thecountry would stop engaging In pure politics and start making eco­nomic progress, That's the government thesis. I don't subscribe toit entirely but there is a grain of truth in the proposition that moneytalks, and talks the loudest. in politics. That. however, is almost aplatitude.

Business involvement in politics. at any rate, is as old as ournation.

ever, rather than resist this new development, simply opened itselfto an infusion of fresh blood by offering its daughters in marriage.The democratization of education merely extended the ilustrados'lease on life.

Things, seen in retrospect, were not that bad anyway. Wealthwas the passport to political PO'-.VBr, but the exercise of that powerwa~ always constrained by a vague but nonetheless real code of con­duct that originated with that native aristocracy. There was, forinstance, a general respect for the political system and for publicservice. Wealth was generally seen as the means to political promi­nence and honor and not the other way around, Dellcadeza. amorpropio, and palabra de honor hedged in the behavior that we now

take so much for granted.

It is in the period of the postwar reconstruction that wenotice a shift in the public morality and practice of politics. U.S.

war surplus. war damage claims and Japanese reparations opened

vast opportunities for quick riches but the key to them was politicaloffice or political connection. Wealth was no longer something youcreated through enterprise - and the help of a few friends in highoffice. No. Wealth was something already existing and all you need­ed was the necessary reach to grab. Politics would give you thatreach, "All political offices," Recto observed, "are the open sesameto wealth and influence." People who wanted to become, but didnot have the intelligence or background to be, businessmen, nowbecame politicians.

What we had after independence was not the domination ofpolitics by business or an oligarchy, but the use of politics by practi­cally anyone, especially by those who were incompetent to do busi­ness the normal way, in order to make business. In the U.S. you Ihave an oligarchy, a business operatlnq as a political force armedwith a political ideology designed to protect the capitalist systemas a system and not as the sinecure of a few chosen individuals.What we had here was just the domination of politics by people whowere out to make a fast buck, What martial law accomplished wasnot the transformation of politics but a mere change of actors, Theroles and the drama remained essentially the same. This was not theintention, I am sure. But that was how it turned out.

Martial law however achieved one thing: it ended once andfor all the free-far-all that entitled anyone to reach for public powerand use it to make a quick fortune. The doors of power were shut­to be opened only for the admission of a chosen few. The age ofpolitics and politiking had indeed ended. That much was true.

More than ever, real businessmen, legitimate businessmen,were out in the cold. In the beginning, when the economy was doingwell, they didn't care. There was more than enough for everyone.Others, less deserving but more proximate to power, got biggershares of the national pie, but the pie was a relatively big one. ButWhen things started to go bad, businessmen realized hpw importantit is to have a foot in the door of political power. The realization,however, had not yet given birth to the act. It needed the death ofAquino to do that. That event opened everyone's eyes to what wasthere all along: a huge foreign debt already beyond the national

capacity to pay and a political system that was becoming less of asystem and more of a series of surprises. In short, a situation fromwhich business could only fly or which, if it had the courage, it hadto change.

Strictly speaking, it was not the death itself but the Mondayafterwards that provided the catalyst for change. That Monday,electricity failed allover the capital and the country. The city wasrife with rumors of palace revolts or military coups. The governmentwas strangely, and then, as the day progressed, frighteningly silent.Business ground to a halt but the businessmen stayed at their officeswaiting, picking up and spreading rumors. Their wives were liningup in groceries filled with panic-buyers. Then in the evening, therewas a telecast that announced everything was alright. But why thesilence, business asked? Why had they been left in the dark so long,as though they were children? They found that attitude on the partof government beyond explanation. That day brought home tothem the realization that government, if it chose to, could be com­pletely indifferent to their feelings and opinions, that it would pro­ceed as it wanted without giving them a second thought. This 'wasthe origin of the businessmen's revolt. Go over the old newspapersand ask yourselves and your friends and you will see that I am right.

From then on a stream of manifestoes issued from the busi­ness sector; manifestoes on politics and economics; demands on howthey wanted both to be run, preferably by men of their choosing.This time the intervention of business in politics was not the partici­pation of individual businessmen out to carve a sinecure for them­selves and for their private interests. They were intervening for thesystem itself, the system in which they did business. They neededcertainty, stability, and confidence. No more and no less. Theywere not angling for particular favors. Instead, they wanted an endto all preferential treatment and adoption of an attitude and a pol i­cy by government that would consider the general interests of

Philippine business (IS a whole.

This was new. These demands had never been heard before.Business now had both feet planted firmly in the political processand it would participate to safeguard its institutional interests. Theconsensus was: no one could be trusted to take care of those in­terests other than itself. The role of Philippine business in politics

has began to resemble the American paradigm. I think that all thatis needed now is a political party for business, along the lines of theRepublican party in the United States. But how to arrive at thatstage of meaningful participation in the political process is the pro­blem that business now faces. It has neither experience nor a clearbusiness ideology to draw from in finding a solution to that pro-

lem. There is, of course, the American paradigm but Americansocial and economic conditions are not the same as they are here. Ablind copy will surely fail. This is the challenge that business nowfaces: how to define the character of its participation in the politicalprocess of the country.

In framing the strategy of its participation, business mustfirst consider the parameters laid down by law for business involve­ment in politics.

There is, to begin with, the ban in the Corporation Codeagainst any corporate contribution to partisan political activity. Theonly exception to the ban is the grant of ordinary loans to politicalcandidates or parties. This is not participation, this is plain andsimple business. If business, however, felt strongly enough it could,of course, lend to its preferred causes and then write-off the loan.The exception naturally benefits only banks and other lending insti­tutions, and, because of their natural conservatism, it is probablyan exception that will never be exercised.

How then can business participate meaningfully? How canit bring to bear on the political process the tremendous resources it

has within its control?In Latin America, the usual constraints on business involve­

ment was overcome by an outright alliance between business andthe military to exercise political control over the country. Thisalliance usually takes the shape of military coups and national re-

prisals against the perceived enemies of business. This, however, isnot participation in, but rather the destruction of, politics.

A middle ground between passivity and revolt is being struckin the United States. I am referring to the Political Action Commit­tees or PACs. These are the latest evolution in the search for aneffective mechanism that will give due recognition to the legitimatepolitical aspirations of American business bvt without detractingfrom the general interests of society.

The PACs are working groups set up and funded by compa­nies within themselves, and are registered with the Federal ElectionCommission. Often, the PAC consists of a small group of peoplecomposed of financial-accounting personnel, legal officers, chief­executive-officers (CEDs), government-relations or public-affairsspecialists and executive non-specialists from elsewhere in the com­pany.

Its business is four-fold. First, the political education ofcompany employees. This includes direct encouragement for em­ployees to engage in political or poll-watch activities. Second, theopen declaration of corporate positions with respect to controversialpolitical issues. Third, the formulation of legislative or policy alter­natives or proposals. Fourth, the overt funding of candidates orcitizens' groups.

In the U.S., corporate PACs are required to do elaborate anddetailed reports and disclosures. Amounts raised and contributed toeach candidate or cause (or, in our case, citizens' groups) must notexceed a certain sum. And such reports are open to public scrutiny.

There are other models that could be considered, but thePACs are, I think, the most thought out. And thus far, they haveworked,

While the choice of model, plus its appropriate adaptation tolocal conditions, is critical, there is one factor upon which itssuccess or failure depends. That factor is the depth of commitmentthat Philippine business has towards social and political reform.That commitment is measured in its resolution, perseverance andcourage. Without that factor, looking for a model or even furthertalking about political involvement becomes a waste of time.

And so, I believe, the search for the definition of the role ofPhilippine business in politics should begin with a search into your­selves. How serious are you about your ideas; how resolved are youto involve yourself; how much courage are yOU capable of to sustainthat involvement? Ask yourselves these questions first beforespending any more time in the political issues of our country.

With those questions, allow me to conclude my speech.Thank you.

The President" Address to the Incoming Freshmen at theOpening ceremonies of AY 1984-1985

June 14, 1984

It is with deep pleasure that I welcome the members of Class

'88 to the Unlversttv.You enter at a critical juncture in the history of this school­

for we are confronted by certain fundamental issues that will changethe face of the University in the years to come. These issues involvequestions of academic freedom, the right to education, the Univer­sity's autonomy as an institution, and the obligation of the state tosupport higher education. They are issues that touch us deeply andthey all turn upon the financial stability of the University.

In more precise terms, we face -the very practical questionsof: 01 Who should bear the burden of coping with the spirallingcosts of education? 121 How long can we remain committed toacademic freedom,' without, adequate funding support? (3) Howmuch longer can we maintain quality education considering thecompetition 'offered by the business eomrnunltv to talent thatshould go into teaching? (4) Can the U.P., or any other institutionfor that matter, claim autonomy if it has to rely on the nationalgovernment exclusively for funding?

As you know, there has always been a great demand for a

U.P. education. Now that there are more college age Filipinos,that demand has increased steeply, far above the University'scapabilities to deliver.

I'll give you the situation this year: Out of a total of 24,646students who sought admission to the U.P. this school year, only5813 were admitted. Not because the rest did not meet the grade.But because there wasn't any room. The University had to turnaway 5 applicants for everyone of you who made it. These figuresshould impress upon you the great privilege and good fortune youhave in being among those selected to study in U.P. ltshculd alsogive some idea of the magnitude of wasted talent that the countrysuffers.

When you consider the funding of your education, youshould realize more fully the extent of that privilege. At present,all U,P. students automatically receive an 83511 subsidy fromthe national government. The amount your parents paid in theform of tuition fees represents only 17" of the actual cost ofyour education. Now, that is certainly a small amount to payfor the kind of education which the University offers, and wantsto continue offering.

As state scholars, you therefore owe it to the taxpayingpublic to show that the considerable resources it has invested inyour education are wisely utilized. It is but a natural expecta­tion on their part that their investment will yield high returns inthe form of graduates whose intellectual qualifications, skills, andsocial concern will benefit society in general.

For the immediate four or five years ahead, your task shouldbe to take the fullest advantage of the opportunities which theUniversity offers you. The prospects for intellectual growth in anenvironment which nurtures independent and critical inquiry will,perhaps, be unparalleled by your experiences in the earlier levelsof your education.

Although the University has lost a number of faculty to morelucrative positions in industry and government, we still have some ofthe best minds in the country on our roster. Take full advantage oftheir accessibility to you.

Despite the tight finances of the University, we have alsodone our best to provide you with more adequate facilities. Amongothers, we have taken steps to improve the laboratories, food andheatth services as well as the library facilities because these directlyaffect your ability to learn, We have also completed plans to ex­pand the dormitories and construct a Sports Complex which shouldmake the University environment more stimulating.

But yousshould remember early in your college life that theoutcome of your stay in U.P. still depends mainly on your own ini­tiative and discipline. It is still up to you to use the freedom of theUniversity to your advantage. The options to choose courses, teach­ers, and activities, to accept or reject competing views, ideologies,and approaches are not a license to surrender to whatever is popularor novel. You must always be guided by a clear concept of whatyou are here for and by what is expected of you by the public.

I would like to assure you that the University administra­tion is making earnest efforts to extend to you efficient supportservices. There are channels through which you can make known tous your needs and suggestions and we are always happy and readyto give you the assistance you seek.

By Oscar M. AlfonsoExecutive Vice-PresidentUniverriry of the Philippines

(Keynote remarks at the opening ceremonices of the Seminar­Workshop on Techniques for Effective Mansgement, held at theInstitute of Industrial Relations Auditorium; 2 April 1984j

This morning let me simply share some thoughts about the roleof public managers in this university and in other public agencies.Iuse the term public manager for a reason, and it is that the manage­ment aspect of our jobs will be tha emphasis of this seminar. Morethan just management (that is, ensuring the smooth functioning ofan office or an institution), what we are frequently called upon todo nowadays is to anticipate and to direct and control change,

Todav. we are confronted by compelling needs to be equal tothe difficulty of managing a big university with big headaches. Theseheadaches are not just the accidental by-product of external deve­lopments. Many of them have their roots within our system. Ou'rday-to-day problems often are symptoms of far deeper role conflictsand dilemmas.

Most of you are familiar with the dilemma of being made to doso much with so little. As the problems have a propensity to feed onone another, it becomes easy to feel helpless before theironslaught-to the point that we ourselves become part of theproblem. Nobody in his right mind would prefer to be caught insuch a situation. But if the job is to be done, somebody has got todo it, and who will it be but us? To survive and to flourish, then,we ought not succumb to a martyr complex and keep wishing itwere easier. We have to wish we were better. And even 'if it meansstarting with ourselves, we have to do something about it. Liketoday.

I should like to think we have gone beyond the puerile stage ofwringing our hands. In the face of work constraints and personalinabilities, our drive is now focused on how to be equal to thesituation. That is why we are so concerned about human resourcesdevelopment. It is the key to meaningful institutional change. Ourpersonal and professional growth is directly linked to institutionalgrowth and development. 00 not take this lightly.

I have never lost faith in the ability of mankind to adapt. Thereare comforting examples enough in human history that attest to thespirit of man which transcends temporal and physical limitations.With the right use of the mind, which is our fundamental resource,we have been able to adjust, retool, reform and recast-cnot just oursurroundings but also ourselves. We have been able to rethink tra­ditional approaches to public sector problems. for instance, and toemerge with daring new approaches. City after city, institutionafter institution, has successfully dealt with questions about itsfinancial health. its infrastructure, and the production of its majorservices, proving that there are at least SOME problems that do notdefy resolution. At least, they can be dealt with and the threats theypose be minimized.

Let me move on to a related point. There is much that can belearned from these cases. If only we can capture the lessons learned,document them, analyze them, and spread them around, we will bebetter armed to face future recurrences. Has this been done sys­tematically? Perhaps not adequately.

•

Let me cite the Western experience. In countries like the UnitedStates, major problems of government. administration, and publicmanagement have long been the focus of sustained examination.New methods of analyzing and attacking public problems have beendeveloped to the point where they are used in many departments ofgovernment. Methods of management first developed in the privatesector have increasingly been adapted and used in the managementof a great variety of public agencies.

Thus, it has become possible nowadays to conceive of a funda­mental body of methods and skills and analytical techniques thatcan assist men and women of responsibility in coping with a broadarray of public problems. To be sure. those skills must be basedupon a strong liberal arts education. supplemented by a continuingemphasis on the humane values drawn from ethics, history, and thebest of our legal tradition. And while specific solutions are effectiveonly for particular locales, tools of analysis and ways of thinkingabout urban. rural. public or private problems are with modificationsometimes transferable across nations. I said sometimes not always.

The thing to do is to delve into this body of knowledge. and tostart learning new tricks. What are some of these new tricks? Theyinclude the habit of analytical thought.heightened powers of ob­

servation, and skills in leadership, whether in private management orpublic administration. Let me add that nobody ever got hurt byadding some generally useful capabilities to his repertoire.

Then again. what are these generally usefull capabilities? Initial­ly. they include knowing how to ask the right questions when con-

Our problem is that he is in the United States whre he is Pro­fessor of Biochemistry at the University of Utah. As host, the Uni­vershv ot the Philippines owes him the courtesy of complimentaryairplane fare.

The University being in rather straitened circumstances, how­ever, may we seek your assistance in providing him non-revenuetickets for his flight at the Philippines and then back to the UnitedStates.

fronted with complicated and unfamiliar issues. Just as thephysician's diagnosis is essential to treating an illness, public officialsmust define precisely the problem at hand before devising asolution. Next, they include the ability to get the facts straightabout the nature and dimensions of the problem, the range of solu­tions to be considered, their relative strengths or weaknesses, andthe capacity of the public institution to adopt and execute thesesolutions. Finally, these generally useful capabilities include anunderstanding of the institutional leader and self-confidence andjudgment in weighing competing considerations, choosing the mostappropriate solution. marshalling resources within and outside theorganization to move in the desired direction, and monitorlnq andadjusting implementation to achieve the objectives.

These new tricks or generally useful capabilities sound difficultto learn. Indeed, they are. But I will have you recognize clearly theneed for them, and to seize every opportunity to develop them inyouselves. This seminar-workshop is one such opportunity.

I shall conclude by emphasizing the pragmatic orientation of thistraining seminar. In the light or the gloom of all that we are calledupon to do, we cannot afford to sit here with arms casually foldedand simply indulge our curiosities over the tricks to be taught. Weare not here in pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. We mustavoid mere theorizing. This might sound strange coming from auniversity man, but 1'm really convinced that intellectual nicetiesmust be shelved for the moment while we learn in this seminar howto come to grips with urgent concerns in the management aspect ofour work in the University.

Dear General ver:

There are forty-two (42) graduating students from UP Tecto­ban who are undergoing a special CMT program in_UP DCMT, Dili­man which started last 26 March 1984. The cadets are billeted inthe DCMT to maximize the twenty (201 days duration of trainingand also to minimize expenses on board and lodging. This has been acontinuing program for the past years since UP Tacloban does nothave an established CMT Unit and the students cannot cress-enrollwith adjacent schools with CMT Unit during the regular semestersince they follow a special academic program different from that ofa normal course.

It is unfortunate that this special summer program will bediscontinued due to the change of policy by the new CommandingOfficer of MCMTC which denies the conduct of this training onthe grounds that UP Tacloban is under the jurisdiction of the ArmyReserve Command. It appears that programs that have been testedand benefiting our students may be discontinued based on the poll­cy of each new Commanding Officer where our CMT Unit may be­long. There is a danger to this practice which in the long run willhamper the proper conduct of CMT to the detriment of our stu­dents and the programs of the University as a whole.

May I therefore request that the present special summer CMTfor UP Tacloban under UP DCMT Oiliman be continued in ordernot to prejudice our graduating students. May I also reiterate ourprevious request on the integration of UP CMT Units pursuant toBoard of Regents approval and its separation from other CMT Com-

Dear Minister Kuniyasu:

On behalf of the University of the Philippines, may I respect­fully seek the assistance of the Japanese Government, through you,Mr. Minister. We are of the understanding that yearly, the JapaneseGovernment makes available to a developing country like the Philip­pines, a cultural fund grant.

Mr. Minister, the University of the Philippines, and in parti­cular, its Institute of Mass Communication is in urgent need ofvarious audiovisual and film equipment to support its instruction,research and extension functions. The Institute of Mass Communica­tion, Mr. Minister, is a 19-year-old institution which was set up withinitial support from UNESCO. It is engaged in undergraduate andgraduate teaching, research, and communication training for pro­fessionals. It is involved in training and/or research actlvltles for thePhilippine Government, the Government of Australia, ASEAN, Asiaand the Pacific, Africa, and international agencies such as ILO,UNFPA. UNDP, UNESCO. ESCAP and FAO. The Institute has 24regular full-time faculty with various areas of specialization in com­munication, 24 part-time lecturers, 20 research and technical staffand 24 administrative support staff.

As part of its course offerings in broadcasting and audio­visual communication and film, which was approved recently as adegree programme, the Institute maintains radio-television studios, afilm and graphics unit, and a communication technology laboratory.These equipment and facilities are utilized by students in their pro­duction classes as well as by professionals underqolnq short-termtraining on the design and production of low-cost communicationaids,

However, there is need to up-date these equipment on a regu­lar basis as new kinds of technology emerge, Further, the currentequipment and support facilities are not sufficient to enable theInstitute to undertake, on a long-term and sustained basis, saidinstruction and training in the development and production ofvarious low-cost AV aids essential to development support commu­nication IOSC) projects particularly in the rural areas of thecountry, as well as, other countries in the Asia and Pacific region.

In this connection, Mr. Jose Lim of Edusvstems (Phils.I, in­formed us that Matsushita Electric Trading Co., ltd. of Osaka,Japan, through Edusystems, can supply the hardware needed by theInstitute to up-grade its facilities and existing equipment (Please seeattached list). Technical services and spare parts are available for themaintenance and continuous operation of the equipment.

We are, therefore, turning to the Japanese Government,through you, Mr. Minister, in helping the University in this under­taking. We are certain that through the cultural fund grant, we maybe better able to undertake various development and cooperationprogrammes not only in the country, but also in Asia and the Paci­fic.

Thank you very much, Mr. Minister, for your continuing co­operation and support to the University. in particular, and to ourcountry, the Philippines, in general.

Dear Professor Okushima:

Permit me first to express my deep appreciation to PresidentHaruc Nishihara and other officials of Waseda University for in­

cluding the University of the Philippines in the newly inaugurated"Waseda University Graduate Study Scholarship for Overseas

Students."This cppor- .....'ity of obtaining Waseda University graduate

scholarships for our faculty members every other year is certainlya big boost to our facu ltV development program, particularly in

the natural science.During the past two years, some of our faculty members

at the National Institute of Physics and some of your own profes­sors at your Faculty of Science and Engineering have been exchanq­ing visits and developing close links in the fields of pure and appliedphysics under the auspices of the NSTA-JSPS Exchange Program.With the inclusion of the University of the Philippines in your newgraduate scholarship program, the initial exchange and cooperationbetween the scientists of our respective universities can now bestrengthened and hopefully expanded in the future.

In the meantime, the University of the Philippines wishesto recommended Mr. Demetrio Yeo, Jr. for the Waseda Universitygraduate scholarship in September 1984.

Mr. Yeo is an instructor and doctoral student at our NatlonelInstitute of Physics who would like to do his doctoral-dissertationresearch at Waseda University in the area of "Molecular BeamEpitaxy of III·V .Compcunds" under the supervision of ProfessorMorihiko Kimata. I understand that Professor Klmata, who hasalready visited the University of the Philippines twice, has agreedto accept Mr. Yeo into his laboratory and supervise Mr. Yeo'sdissertation research.

The opportunity to do research under Professor Kimata isessential to Mr. Yeo's completion of his doctoral studies at theUniversity of the Philippines. I therefore hope that he could qualifyfor your graduate scholarship.

With sincere hopes for closer links and cooperation betweenour two universities, I am

Truly yours,

Thru: Mr. Aanulfo R. AblaoChairman

Gentlemen:

We are happy to note from your manifesto dated April 26,that you will work for the New Corporation with commitment,dedication and hard work. This is only right for if we do not workwell, the Basilan Land Grant will incur losses to the detriment ofyourselves, your children and the University. To safeguard yourinterests and those of the University, we are going into this leaseagreement with the New Corporation, which will be owned byU.P. and the National Development Company. Sime Darby willnot be your new employer, it will be the New Corporation (UP andNDCl. Sime Darby is being hired by the New Corporation as man­agersand it will be answerable to the New Corporation.

Our concern for your welfare is evident in the following:1. If we had followed strictly government rules on treat­

ment of government workers on reti rement or separa­tion pay, only the permanent employees would havegotten benefits and only for those years of permanentservice. WE ARE GIVING BENEFITS TO BOTH PER·MANENT (one month per year of service] AND TEM­POAARY Ione-hstt month per year of service) EM­

PLOYEES.

2. Despite the financial difficulties that face the govern­ment and especially the University, WE ARE MAKINGAVAilABLE P4.5 MilLION PESOS FOR PARTIALPAYMENT OF THE AMOUNT DUE. This is approxi­mately 60% NOT 50% OF PAYMENT REQUIRED.But to ask that the balance be paid within the sixmonths probationary period is not possible.

3. In other government agencies, the permanent workerswou Id have gotten their benefits and then be left ontheir own. HERE, YOU ARE GETTING RETIREMENTOR SEPARATION BENEFITS AND YOU Will CON·TlNUE TO GET A SALARY FROM THE NEW COR·

PORATION.4. The U.P. Board of Regents' approval of all the above

provisions are the best guarantee that U.P. will live upto its commitments. We are also directing Prof. MelitoSalazar, Jr. to be the person operationally responsibleto ensure that you get annually the balance.

As far as your other requests are concerned - no layoffsuntil full payment is made, extension of existing privileges (housing,

water, etc'! and recognition of a labor union, I am sure that you areas interested to ensure the viability of the New Corporation bygiving its management the greatest flexibility.

Knowing that you will exert your best and perform well,

we are confident you will continue to be employed. The NewCorporation being a private corporation must follow the LaborCode in terms of salaries and benefits as well as the existence ofa labor union. We have already sent our faculty from the Instituteof Industrial Relations WR) to hold a seminar for you and yourown Chairman attended a training program in IIR at our expenseto prepare you for working in a private company.

In closing. let me assure you that the University has taken

your welfare in consideration in the negotiations on the BasilanLand Grant. Already, you will be getting more than any of the other

UP employees faced with a reorganization. Be content and knowthat if you work well for the New Corporation, both you and theUniversity will benefit more.

Salamat po!

THE MORNING AFTER

Table of ContentsTHE COVER

Together with the OblatJon bronze statue in front of it, theAdministration building popularly known as Quezon Hall, wasone of the earliest postwar buildings completed in the bravenew world of the Dillman campus in 1950.

After World War II, the UniversitY,of the Philippines received'13 million from the United Stales government as part of thewar damage claim of the Philippine government for thedestruction of the UP campus in Ermita which was reduced torubble in the Battle of Manila in 1945.

UP President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez, architect of theUP transfer to Dillman, opted to use the war damage money toconstruct new bultdinqs in the 493·hectare campus inQuezon City rather than rehabilitate the cramped lO-hectareErmita campus.

National Artist for architecture Juan Nakpil designed theAdministration building. Believe it or not, this three-storeystructure cost P750,OOO. The Library bulldinq was worth PS million,Liberal Arts was ft3 million, and Engineering, ft2 million. Therest of the funds were spent for the construction of the twostudents' dormitories. In the early postwar years, one dollarwas equivalent to two pesos.

When the Administration buildinq was completed in 19S0,resident Gonzalez transferred his temporary office from the

second floor of the College of Law (Malcolm Hall) to the newbuilding. Similarly, the registrar's office headed by Dr. PaternoSantos also transferred to the new Administration buildinqoccupying the north wing ground floor where the UniversitySecretary's office is located. The first door of the ground Iloorof north wing was occupied by the Cashier's office which wasthen headed by Mr. Galan. A large vault was incorporated in thedesign of the Cashier's office which is now called the Functionroom.

The President's office at the second noor ot the north wingalso served as the Board of Regents' room. The third floorabove the President's office served as auditorium of theCollege of Music as well as the meeting place 01 the UniversityCouncil.

The roof garden which was occupied by the InformationOffice before the fateful September 26 fire, had earlier served asvenue for dances and social gatherings. It also served as theauditorium of the CoIIeg-e of Music when it vacated the third floorof the north wing. The old room of the Information Office beforets renovation in 1978-79 previously served as the MOsic librarywhile the rest of the fourth floor atop Quezon Hall served as theoffice of the University Architect and his staff. The Legal Officewas also domiciled at the southern portion of the Roof Garden.

When Dr. Vidal A. Tan was appointed president of theUniversity in 1952, he transferred 1he President's office to thesecond floor, main lobby of Palma Hall which is now occupiedby Director Virginia R Moreno's Film Center,

When Vicente G. Sinco became president in 1958, hebrought back the President's office to its original place atQuezon Hall. The President's office also doubled as Board ofRegents meeting room. Only a curtain divider separated thePresident's desk from the BaR horseshoe-shaped table. TheOffice of the Secretary of the University and the Administrativestaff which was later christened Office of General ServicestOGS) was installed on the third floor of the north wing.

It was also during the administration of President Sincothai the College of Music obtained its own building. The roomsvacated by the College of Music served as offices of the newPublic Information and Alumni Relations and of the newadministrative hierarchy as created on recommendation of theHannah Survey Report (shades of the World Bank and IMF),

During Carlos P. Hornulos term in 1963. he refurbished thePresident's office and removed the thick metallic paint on thewindow glasses which used to shield the rooms from the hot

morning and afternoon sun. The windows were tinted to enablevisitors to view the campus sights and landmarks. It was alsoduring his time that the first University flagpole was installedatop the Administration bUilding. In the middle 1960s thebuildinq was named Quezon Hall in honor of CommonwealthPresident Manuel L Quezon who chose the Dillman campus asthe new site of the University.

During President Romulo's term, a portion of the third floorwas renovated as Operations Center to serve as Board ofRegents' room and briefing room for VIPs. Because of the greatefforts in going up the third floor due to the often out-of-orderOtis elevator which was installed in 1958, President Romulodecided to return the BaR room to the second floor betweenthe President's office and the Executive Vice-President's office.Dr. Oscar M. Alfonso and the late Dr. Enrique T. Virata held asort at Guinness Book of Record for occupying the same roomlonger than any other administrators at Quezon Hall.

As;every contemporary UP watcher knows, the majorreshuffling of offices as well as complete renovation of officesat Quezon Hall was carried out in time for the Diamond Jubileeof the University in 1983.

Editor's HOle. The North Wing of the Quezon Hall, which houses the Office of thePresident as well as those of other top University otfictals. was gutted down by fireduring the wee morning hours 01 September 26. 1984. 1119 million is estimated forthe reconstruction of the burnt wing. According to initial findings of the PC-Metrocom.there is no sign or irregularity in the electrical tav-out as well as of the presence 01any inflammable substance among the debris.

Here we are reprinting a historical backgrounder on the Quezon Hall byRod San Diego of the UP News/fluer.

Memorandum No. 15: Beta Sigma Fraternity and all U.P.StudentOrganizations

The University of the Philippines hereby withdraws recoqni­tion of the Beta Sigma fraternity and announces that it shallhenceforth adopt and enforce administrative policies to ensurethe safety of all applicants to all U,P. student organizations, frater­

nities in particular.All official recognition of the Beta Sigma fraternity is dropped.

It is banned from participating or being present at any Universityactivity in any campus for the next five years. For that samelength of time, the organization is forbidden to use any Universityfacility.

All the officers of the Beta Sigma for 1983·84 as wall-as thosefor 1982-83 have been issued a preventive suspension order for

thirty (30) days pending the outcome of investigations on thecase' of Mr. Arbel R. Liwag.

Mr. Liwag was a sophomore student, a fresh initiate into theBeta Sigma fraternity, who underwent an extremely brutal haz­ing session last June 18-19 and died June 25. 1983. It was for Mr.Liwag a final. fatal rite of initiation.

The UP Administration is constrained to take whatever ad­ministrative steps it can to curb the activity of the student orqani­zation in question and to prosecute the case through its StudentDisciplinary Tribunal. These are now being done, and rigorouslyso. with the twin ends in view of maintaining the peace and up­holding justice.

From now on, atl fraternities, sororities, and student organiza­tions must seek written permission from the Vice-Chancellor forStudent Affairs before they can conduct initiation rites. whetherin orout ofthecampus. Wedo not mean by this to expose all trad­itionally secret rites to scrutiny; we merely wish to keep tabs onall students about to engage in potentially hazardous activity.

In this regard, the University enjoins faculty advisers of stu­dent organizations to assume the responsibility they ought to forthe activities of those organizations. They should exercise grea­tervigilance over their "wards", as it were. They should intervenein their doings whenever necessary. They cannot always standpassive, hesitant, effete and ineffectual.

While it is undeniable that UP fraternities have done much inthe past to enhance the prestige of the Universltv. it is evidentnowadays that so much more of what are being done by some ofthem confirms the public view of their notoriety. It is time that theUniversity does something extra to protect them - and the pub­lic - from themselves.

Dear Professor Ventura:

In reply to your letter to me dated 12 July'1984 regarding theDepartment of Psychology's request for funding of two mic­rocomputers, a printer and some software and supplies, Jet me

say that I am in agreement with the reasons therefor as stated inyour letter and I would be happy to see the department and itsstaff grow in the use of computers.

As for comparing between the two requests for microcomput­ers, that of your department and that of the Department of Sociol­ogy, suffice it to say that when I approved the latter (and as itturned out, the later) request, I had no knowledge at all of vour de­partment's request. I did not get to know about your request untilI received your letter dated 12 July.

In any event, I am approving your request for funding in theamount of f3'70,755.00to cover the needs specified in the attach­ment to your letter of 12 July.

Dear General Tobias:

I wish to thank you for the resolute position taken by you, atthe meeting yesterday in Mayor Adelina S. Rodriguez's office

among government agencies concerned with the problem ofsqueters inside the U.P. campus in Dillman, in favor of relocatingthese squatters the soonest possible, notwithstanding certainclaims to the land which in any case remain to be recognized bythe courts as against the U.P.'s title which has been accepted asvalid by no less than the Supreme Court.

As pointed out at the meeting yesterday, the problem is mostacute in the arboretum area, among other reasons because thepresence of squatters hinders work on the U.P:s sewage plantand slows down the feasibility study now being undertaken onconverting an area very close tothe arboretum into a commercialcenter in order to raise much needed funds for the University ofthe Philippines.

The urgent problem of clearing the U.P. campus of squatterscan be resolved only with the active and continuing support ofthe agencies concerned, notably the National Housing Authorityand the Office of the Quezon City Mayor.

Your support in this matter is therefore bothreassurinq andassurance of better chances of success, to the end that the U.P.'s

If the U.P. succeeds in converting an area very close to the ar­boretum into a commercial center, as it hopes to do only afterclearing the area of squatters, U.P.shall in the first instance betheprimary beneficiary.

THE COVER

It comes on this December month that brings smiles that stealto people's hearts. When the days are either cool or wet or both,ld the morning dew is full and heavy on the acacia leaf. When

reminiscences of joys past softens the harsh edges of present diffi­culties, allowing hope for a sparkling moment and inviting thetolerance, if not urge for festivities. The Lantern Parade - it is atonce a remembrance of the University past and a celebration of thepromise of hope.

For many, the Lantern Parade is a cathartic release from thedrudgery of the year-tong papercnase and a fitting start for the partyrounds that the holidays will bring. Many, too, consider it a venuefor calling to mind the prospects for the less fortunate and to pokeat those responsible for the former's plight. Then and again, forothers, it is just one of those ceremonies that have to be sufferedthrough, preparations and all.

But basically, the Lantern Parade is an opportunity for theentire University community to come together and share the feel­ing of a common bond. It is one of those things which pull thecommunity together and remind them of the infinite possibilities

afforded by sharing and unity.Our cover picture shows Mrs. Gloria M. Angara joinrng in the

parade with University officials led by Executive Vice-PresidentOscar M. Alfonso and Diliman Chancellor Ernesto G. Tabuiara,President Edgardo J. Angara, who is on official trip abroad, sent thetraditional Christmas message which was read by Dr. Alfonso.

Mr. Anthony F. SharpDirector, International OperationsMead Data Central9333 Springboro Pike

P.O. Box 933Dayton. Ohio 45401U.S.A.

Dear Mr. Sharp:

I apologize that it has taken us all this "time to reply to your

letter dated January 18, 1984.I wish to thank you for the hospitality you showed to Professor

Honesto G. Nuqui and Atty. Antonio Santos when they visited theUnited States in November last year. We give special thanks to Ms.Suzanne Grey of your San Francisco office and Mr. Buzz Reed, Ms.Kathy Reamer and Kathy Boland of your Dayton office.

Prof. Nuqui and Atty. Santos brought back many of their ob­servations and a pack of materials, including some LEXIS printoutswhich they have shared with all those involved in the LEGIS Pro­ject of the University of the Philippines. The two were very enthu­siastic about LEX IS, specially its overall "friendliness" and theextent of its database. They have gone so far as to say that - barringonly economic constraints - the two would recommend aLEXIS.like system for our LEGIS Project. Being a lawyer myself and havingseen the use of LEXIS in the United States, I also share their enthu­

siasm over the system.The LEGIS Project of the University is a joint project of our

Computer Center and our Legal Resources Center. It is meant to bea University project. We expect that the development costs will becovered mainly by University funds - meaning government moneysince U.P. is a state university, contributions from other govern­ment offices such as our Ministry of Justice and possibly our legisla­

tive body, the Batasan Pambansa, and finally some grant money.Eventually we expect the project to be self-sustaining so that reve­nue can at least offset the maintenance costs. In this respect you

ight say that our LEGIS will be somewhat like the FLITE and theJURIS in the United States since both are government-supported.

The LEGIS project has not met with too-much progress basi­cally because of lack of hardware. However, the collection of all the

data which has to be keyed in is well in progress.In addition to hardware, we also need a lot of help and advice

specially now that we are starting up. We know of course that Mead-Data Central has accumulated years of experience in setting up,, developing and maintaining LEX IS. We would like to benefit fromthis experience. In retorn, we can offer access to our data on Philip­pine Law and our familiarity with the Philippine legal market. Thecollection of the University is extensive, probably the best in the

country. .While LEGIS is a University project, we in the University look

forward to some working" .relationship with a private corporationsuch as Mead Data Central. We hope that we can identify some spe­

cific areas ot cooperation.In this connection, Professor Nuqui and two other members of

the LEG IS staff are scheduled to visit the United States sometimelate this month or early next month. They are trying to schedule avisit to your San Francisco office - where Prof. Nuqui met SuzanneGrey last year - and I hope there is sometibdy there they ~ould ta.lkto. Their trip will be funded by the As'la Foundation which has Its

main offices at 550 Kearney Street, San Francisco and telephone"

(415) 982-4640. The travel arrangements are being made by Ms.Martha Erickson of that office. You might have a-hard time gettingin touch with us in Diliman betcre the three leave for the UnitedStates but if your secretary can call Ms. Erickson, you might get anindication of when Prof. Nuqui will be arriving in the United States.

With this frank description of the situation, I hope you canevaluate what kind of exchange we might enter into. We certainlyhope Prof. Nuqui can meet with some of your people so we can ex­

plore the matter in more depth.

Very truly yours,

Respectfully forwarded to the Honorable, the Director-General,National Economic Development Authority, Pasig, Metro Manila,the attached letter of Dean Leandro A. Viloria, School of Urban andRegional Planning (SURP), University of the Philippines, Dillman,

containing two proposals for the Institutional and Faculty UpgradingProgram, recommending approval thereof.

Both proposals have been approved in principle by the partiesconcerned, namely: The Australian International Development Pro­gram (AUIDP) which is established to encourage academic coopera­tion between universities in Australia and Asia; and, the Departmentof Town and Country Planning of the University of Manchester,England, which will jointly undertakea Technical Assistance Schemewith the SURP under the British Council.

Our recommendation is consonant with University policy toencourage linkages with outside institutions to make our units lessdependent on scarceUniversity resources. Through the program, ourfaculty in Diliman and Cebu can avail of fellowships, our researcherscan take advantage of research grants and the School's library taciti­ties can be upgraded.

Dear Dr. Angangco:

I'm delighted to hear. that your chapter garnered the ultimate

distinction Pi Gamma Mu can give. Dr. Hugh Bailey wrote me

recently to break the good news.I just hope your group will carryon with high-minded projects

like the first Colloquia.With best regardsand congratulations.

This refers to the fi~e that gutted the Quezon Hall North-wing,University of the Philippines System, biliman, Quezon City, onSeptember 26, 1984, as a result of which the Office of the Presidentof the University was totally destroyed, including all the office sup­plies, equipment and other properties.

In this connection, may I request RELIEF FROM ACCOUNT­ABILITY for all properties covered by Memorandum Receipts inmy name or the Office of the President which were lost due to thesaid fire. A complete list of such properties is attached hereto asAnnex "A".

This request is being made pursuant to the provisions of P.O.1445 and Section 556 of the Government Auditing Code of thePhilippines and the National Accounting and Auditing Manual,Vol. II.

Your favorable consideration given this matter wilt be highlyappreciated.

Very truly yours,

I fully endorse the request of our Statistical Center for GennanVisiting Professors who can help guide our graduate students in ad­vanced probability theory and inference. stochastic processes andstatististicat decision theorv. We will appreciate it also if fellowshipsfor degree courses and for short-term training in statistics can beprovided our faculty and staff.

Graduate education, in general, will be strengthened and im­proved in the next five years. Graduate education in statistics is 0heavy priority but is hampered by limited resources and inadequateteaching force. Through our proposed collaboration, the StatisticalCenter hopes to be able to build a graduate faculty core who canhandle graduate programs with the requisite competence,

We hope that academic institutions in the Federal Republic willrespond favorably.

Your offer to help the University in its effort to rebuild assoonas possible the North wing of Ouezon Hall is most welcome. Itcomes at th is opportune time when we can use all the assistancewe

need.The Design and Supervision Division of our Campus Planning,

Development and Maintenance Office (CPDMO) is currently draw­ing up the plans, details and specifications for the reconstruction.This is done under the direct supervision of Chancellor Ernesto G.

Tabujara.Your proposal to modify the windows facing the west in order

to eliminate the "eyesore due to the different screening measures... so as to eliminate the irritating afternoon sun" is welcome.Kindly submit your preliminary architectural sketches and we will,as much as possible, incorporate these into our drawings. Becauseof financial constraints, we hope you appreciate any additionalwork over and above that which will simply restore the building toits original state just before the fire, may not be immediately im­

plemented.Weappreciate your doing this on a voluntary basisand I've asked

Chancellor -Tabujara to discuss with you the specific way by whichyou can be credited for being the architect of this project. Kindlycoordinate your work with Chancellor Tabujara.

Thanks again and best regards.

SPEECHES

(Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara ffJsd for him by Dr. OscarM. Alfonso at the ISSllnternational Friendship Night on 26 October1984.)

This gathering is truly a microcosm of' a world grown smallerby goodwill and understanding between the peoples and nationsrepresented here. This seems to be a night worthy of its name:INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP NIGHT.

The interest of international friendship is the mutual advance­ment of o~r various societies. To this end we ought to encouragethose activities within each of our nations that would enhancehuman welfare and social progress. International friendship meansweaving ties in a mutual desire to be worthy of each other's trust.

It also refers to a common vlsicn of the kind of world we hopeto have. It calls for solidarity among peoples and nations. It alsocalls for courage, for no ideal has ever been achieved without sacri­fice. All too often, international friendship remains a glittering butempty abstraction. What is lacking is the commitment to discoverpractical and workable channels of collaboration.

In 1966, the Royal Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Re­public of the Philippines decided to come together and infusesubstance into the concept of international amity. The two govern­ments worked together to establish the Institute of Small-ScaleIndustries within the University of the Philippines as a pioneeringeffort in small enterprise development in the country. It was forlong an uphill climb 'for the five Dutchmen and their Filipinocounterparts who formed the first core staff. Eventually, the bila­teral agreement paid off. The small industry movement has be­come a pervasive national concern, involving all sectors of Philip­plrte society.

Today, witness international friendship in action as the Institutereaches out to its neighbor-countries in the developing world. The1551 shares the small enterprise development resources and capa­

. bilities it has carefully built up through the years. It offers trainer'straining, regional development, industrial extension, project devel­opment and other small enterprise training programs for othermembers of the developing world. Even as the Institute lends a handto other developing economies, the Netherlands government, we aregrateful to note, still takes an active interest in its progress and con­tinues to support it.

The University of the Philippines is justifiably proud of theInstitute's achievements in terms of giving meaning to the otherwiseempty abstraction of "international friendship". We are equallyproud of its emerging leadership as a small enterprise developmentresearch and training center in the Asia-Pacific region. These achieve­ments are attuned with the University's own policy of going beyondacademic and national boundaries to spread the benefits of higher

, research and education. Indeed, the U.P. 1551 is an affirmetlon ofIthe University of the Ph.ilippines' co,:"mitment to the larger com­~ munity and the larger society of mankind.

Thank you and may you have a most enjoyable evening.

(Closing Remarks of President Edgardo J. Angara,. read for him byDr. Oscsr M. Alfonso at the Closing Ceremonies for a Senior Courseon Transpon Technology (ASCOTT) on 14 December 1984.)

The choice of the Philippines as the venue for this training courseis most fitting. I am sure your six-week st~y here has given youample opportunity to see for yourselves the kind of transportationproblems we have, particularly the transportation requirements of arapidly growing urban population. You have right here a challengingmodel for transport improvement, which is what this course hasbeen mainly concerned with.

Your individual country reports have served to identify somecommon transportation problems in the ASEAN countries, such asthe lack of road planning, traffic congestion, inefficient transporta­tion facilities or the continued use of modes of transportation thatcan no longer adequately serve the needs of development.

So many of these transportation problems in the ASEAN coun­tries have correctly been attributed to the lack of planning in landuse and the poor management of transportation facilities. Moreoften than not, the public transport system in the urban areas wasconceived with little or no anticipation of the future needs arisingfrom the increase'fn population, the expansion of the boundaries ofcities into adjacent areas, and the accelerated pace of development.Inevitably, therefore, these outmoded or ill-planned transportationsystems have become unable to cope with the demands of contem­porary life.

In this light, the senior course on transport tf'Chnology meets asorely felt need for professionals who have the training to concep­tualize and implement more innovative strategies for solving thecomplex transportation problems which presently beset ASEANand other nations.

The design of the program you have just completed has themajor advantage of having been based on an actual assessment of theexisting training programs in transport tech~ology in the region andan identification of specific subjects which could provide a moreintegrated perspective on transportation technology.

You have had intensive lectures on the various aspects of tran­sport technology for almost a month, supplemented by observationtrips. But undoubtedly, the most valuable aspect of this courseis the opportunity it has provided all of you to discuss the commontransportation problems in the ASEAN and other nations and ex­change views on the potential solutions to these problems, basedon your respective experiences. Your participation in these dis­cussions has enhanced the program because your insights are basedon concrete situations. Such exchanges have given you a better graspof the alternative solutions to the transportation problems in yourown countries and the importance of choosing the appropriate tech­nology given the local conditions and needs.

Moreover, since you yourselves are directly interested in landuse or management of transportation facilities, there is a greaterlikelihood that the knowledge you have acquired can be appliedupon you r retu rn.

I trust that your successful completion of this course has pro­vided you with the technical knowledge, tools and fresh insightswhich will enable you to actively contribute to the improvementof mass transport in the ASEAN region.

In closing, I congratulate all of those responsible for the smoothconduct of this seminar course. I would like to cite the TransportTraining Center, headed by Dr. Leopoldo V. Abis, and his veryable staff. Their success in sustaining this activity at a time whenmany training programs have had to be discontinued is clearly anindication of how well they have geared their activities to thetraining demands in the region. Of course, such a program has alsobeen fortunate to have had the funding support of the Japanese

International Cooperation Agency, which we should also like toacknowledge. Last but in no way least, I wish to commend all theparticipants, for their unflagging enthusiasm and determination tobenefit as much as they could from this seminar workshop.

(Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara on the 70th Year of theDepartment of Anthropology Celebration of Anthropology Weekon 11 December 1984, at the Faculty Center Conference Hall.J

Many Filipinos today live in fear; fear of death and torture; fearfor the safety of their few possessions; fear for the future of theirfamilies. This is especially true of the many who have the misfor­tune of having to live and work in the countryside, in the killingfields of Philippine insurgency. Their harrowing experiences arerecorded in gruesome detail in the reports of such organizationsas Amnesty International and the International Commission ofJurists..

This situation is of recent development. There were violationsof human rights before. but never of this magnitude, never withsuch intensity.

Some of us must be wondering, Why is it like this? What hasgone wrong? The long list of human rights abuses shames us as anation.

I, for one, think that one reason for this is that we have neededa long list of abuses before our consciences were aroused. Oneabuse, brought to our attention. should have been enough to pro­voke our indignation and engage our commitment to bring justiceto that case and, by that example, put an end to any further abuse.It seems, instead, that we needed to see economies of scale achievedin human rights abuses before they could provoke our indignation.This was not necessary if we had never lost, in the first place, akeen respect for the law and a proper appreciation of the need to.keep its rule among us completely inviolate. let me explain this atsome length.

Behind the laws that protect human rights, such laws as the Billof Rights or even the provisions in our Penal Code against assaultson life and property. is a philosophy that warns us that a single in­fraction of any law means not just a crime, but an open door to along train of repetitions if that crime is not immediately denouncedand punished.

If we had kept this philosophy in mind, we, would have seenthat, however remote we were from the effects of that first viola­tion, it would be only a matter of time before they touched us per­sonally.

We live and work in a fabric of law. If any part of it is brokenand left unmended, in time the whole piece witt come unravelledand we shall all be standing naked in the rain of subsequent crimesthat were encouraged by the first, unpunished. example. That iswhy I say that we should not have needed a long list of humanrights abuses before raising a clamor and taking action against it.

But instead of keeping a strict respect for the law. we, who arenot guilty of gross human rights abuses. encouraged disrespect forthe law by small infractions of it for our convenience. We violateda traffic regulation here and a tax law there. These were smallmatters, we told ourselves. Just shortcuts to get what we wanted,which were anyway things that harmed no one, like the promptmeeting of an appointment or an incremental increase in our in­comes. But the rule of law, I said, is a fabric that cannot hold it­self together if any part of it Js broken and left unmended. Here Iam reminded of Thomas-Mare's reaction to the suggestion that oneshould cut across the law' if this serves to get us to our goal faster,especiatly if we think'the goal is a worthy one. More said:

"This country's pteated thick with laws from coast to coast ­man's laws. not God' - and if you cut them down ... d'youthink you could stand Llpright in the winds that would blow then? "

How often had we complained against the tangle of laws thathad grown thick all over our country by a long and honorable juris­prudence? What we need are less laws and more action, we said.again and again. laws and complicated legal processes, we com-

plained, cramped our style and made our lives more difficult than itcould be. So what we did was make shortcuts through the law. Butwe were not alone in this country. Others saw us do it and get awaywith it, and followed our examples.

For us. perhaps, it was just a revenue regulation that stood in ourway. But for the others it was the law against property or againstthe integrity of the person or against the taking of human life thatobstructed them. These laws were as inconvenient for them, as therevenue regulation was for us. Why were they not entitled to thesame shortcuts we ourselves were taking? Finally, some peopledecided that it was the fundamental laws - the charter of our fun­damental rights and liberties - that stood in their way. Those short­cuts we took turned out to be a slippery slope that took us finallyto where we are today.

It was often said in the past, half in praise and half in derision,that the genius of the Filipino manifested itself in law. We had morelawyers than any other country in Asia. Perhaps we should have hadmore engineers, it was said. But then, at that time when peoplepoked fun at the litigiousness of Filipinos, the Filipinos had a legal­istic republic that was the pride of Asia.

At -the end of the last century, we .established the first republicin Asia. It erose not from the impulse of revenge against formercolonial masters but from the determination to live thenceforthunder the rule of law they had denied us. This was the foundationon which the Republic rested, until we decided that there wereissues - social, political, economic and I don't know what else _that demanded instant resolution regardless of the toll it took onthe rule of law.

We have just celebrated Human Rights Day with a renewedresolve to denounce their violations and put an end to them. Mysuggestion on how to end them is this: We should begin by renewingour respect for law in every aspect of our lives and work. The bestprotection for our human rights is a walt of specific respect forevery law, built stone by stone with our hands, however incon­venient we shall find it.

Thank you.

(The President's Christmas Message on 19 December 1984 read forhim by Dr. Oscar M. Alfonso.)

The year just passed has been admittedly an unusually difficultyear for the University in particular and the nation as a whole. Itsaw the country experiencing its worst economic crisis in the post­war era and witnessing some of the most destructive calamities andnatural disasters. 1984 will also go down in history as a time of greatpolitical upheaval and uncertainty over the national stability. With­out doubt, it was a most trying year for all Filipinos and we in theUniversity have been inevitably deeply affected by all these develop­ments in the national scene.

As University President, I am much aware of the tremendoussacrifice, patience and forbearance required of all of you in the faceof our severe budgetary problems which were further compoundedby unexpected occurrences, such as the fire which gutted the northwing of Quezon Hall.

In light of the adversities that we have faced, and may continueto face in the future, the need for the University community toaffirm its unity and ties with one another becomes greatest.

The Lantern Parade and Christmas Program, more than an age­old tradition, provides a fitting time for all of us to gather and re­member not just the travails but also the gains that were achievedthrough our common efforts, sacrifice, and willingness to place theinterests of the University over individual or sectoral preferencesand concerns. The four-step incentive allowance which took effectearly this year, for instance, were made possible because the dif­

ferent sectors of the community were willing to give up some thingsand to maximize our manpower resources more fully so that savingsfrom the non-use of available items could be effected. This is onlyone among many other blessings which we can count, and which weare fortunate to enjoy while other agencies and educational institu­tions have been compelled to take drastic steps such as non-paymentof salaries, suspension of living allowances and other benefits, oreven retrenchment and outright closure of operations.

We have also managed to be more prudent in allocating ourscarce resources and to generate internal sources of income by en­hancing the income-earning capacities of our properties, such as theBasilan and Quezon Land Grants, and other enterprises through thecollaborative efforts of various units in othe University.

And with the cooperation of all sectors on campus, the Univer­sity has been able to minimize wasteful and useless duplication offunctions, and improve on the general efficiency in the delivery ofservices.

This occasion, therefore, becomes more meaningful for us be­cause it represents a time to reaffirm the ties, beliefs, and valueswhich have become part of the University's traditions. From thisreservoir of shared experiences and loyalty to the institution towhich we belong and of which we are all a part, we shalf continueto draw our inspiration and strength in order to cope as best as wecan with the challenges of the coming new year.

I wish all of you warmest Christmas greetings and a happier yearahead. Maligayang Pa~ko sa ating lahat. Sana av Manigong BagongTaon naman.

(Keynote Address of President Edgardo J. Angaraat the First Philip­pine Conference on Industrial Relations, 5 October 1984 AIT,Difiman, Quezon City.)

There is no more opportune time to hold an initial conferenceon industrial relations than now. Not only are we witnesses -toinstances of costly confrontations between labor and management;we are, in the name of national survival, being challenged to devoteour efforts towards greater national productivity.

Perhaps there is no better way to underscore the significance ofthis conference except to refer to the many confrontational situa­tions we all see around us. The atmosphere of divisiveness prevail­ing in our society is too disturbing. Maybe it has something to dowith regionalism or the fact that the Philippines has yet to overcomeits image as a cluster of islands.

If what is true of the whole is also true of the parts, then whattranspires in the labor-management sector is just reflective of what ishappening to the whole nation. And we can only hope that the in­sights we gain by reviewing the dynamics of industrial relations maybe useful in identifying a new structure for national unity.

Those of us who are either students or practitioners of industrialrelations are all interested in firming up the foundation of industrialpeace. We may come out with new legislative proposals to help im­prove the structure of relations between labor and management. Orwe may discover new mechanisms for settling industrial disputes.But any law or intervention will work only when there is a supportiveunderlying value that springs from the innate culture of a people.In any case, the quest for industrial peace for the sake of commonprosperity demands a deliberate effort and will to explore new di­mensions in the field of industrial relations.

The search for these new dimensions, to my mind, would requirea re-examination of the practices and methods we have been accus­tomed to. Are the approaches we have been using adequate to secureindustrial peace? Based on the recorded strikes since 1981 there hasbeen tens of millions manhours lost. If for that reason alone, weought to review the standard modes of resolving industrial disputes.

It would seem then that the very system that prescribes the para­meters of industrial relations in the Philippines is too adversarial innature. This system operates on the assumption that labor is a classseparate and distinct from management and as such it has its ownset of interests that is irreconcilable with that of management. Theeconomists and social scientists among us mav say that this assump­tion is a carry-over from the history of class struggle that began withthe Industrial Revolution in England. The point is that, any assump­tion, unless analyzed for its objective validity. may be regarded asfact and, therefore, may affect the direction of policy making.

When the interests of labor and management are perceived to beradically different from each other, the c$frontational nature of,labor-management relations is inevitable. Given the mutual suspicionbetween adversaries. economic warfare is always a distinct proba­bility.

However, Filipino workers and Filipino managers can and oughtto transcend the cycle of costly confrontations. There are a numberof factors that can make this happen. In the first place, Filipinosas Orientals naturally prefer consensus as a framework within whichto reconcile conflicting claims of individuals or groups. Our cultureputs emphasis on smooth interpersonal relations, on talking thingsover, on seeing to it that the other fellow does not lose face. Infact, real breakthroughs in negotiation are achieved not during theformal bargaining period but under a less formal set-up during breakperiods. We might have relied so heavily on the Western model forresolving labor-management disputes to the point that we have for­gotten that we have our inborn mechanism for reconciling dif­ferences.

In addition to our positive cultural traits, there are capitalistsand owners in the country today who are at the forefront of rede­fining tabor-management relations. There is a growing number ofmanagers and industrial relations specialists whose task orientationis balanced by their genuine appreciation of the value of people.As they believe that management is getting things done, through andwith people, they recognize the intrinsic worth of a worker as a

•

human being whose total development is a vital corporate goal. Sucha management philosophy when translated into better motivationalsystem, improved organizational communications, and transformativeleadership styles, among others, will hopefully add a new dimensionto the practice of industrial relations in the Philippines.

If I speak of ideals it is only because I know that this conferencewould not just look back and ask what went wrong? but would alsolook forward and ask what can be done?

(Extemporaneous Remarks of President Edg;.,do J. Angara Before

the Graduate SChool Conference on 23 October 1984 at the FacultyCenter Conference Hall.J

Thank you very much Emy.Chancellor Tabujara, deans, vice presidents, vice chancellors, and

beloved colleagues from allover the U.P. System. Let me thank youall for inviting me to join in this assessment of the graduate studiesof the System. We welcome you all to Oiliman and we send specialgreeting to those from outside Oiliman because they had to comedespite the rains, despite the jeepney strike, despite the general un­certainty in our country.

But I guess that is exactly the point: that the academics canget together and still maintain their sanity, despite these difficulties,and still look to the future, look at the way we are training ourpeople .

Over the past three years, we have been having conferences,symposia, workshops on academic programs, on research, on man­agement, on organization. Now we are looking at our graduateschool.

I think it is almost trite to say - because you know better - thatthe graduate school of the University of the Philippines has been a

-showcase in this country. We must maintain our leading positionthere, but we cannot be on the cutting edge of this development un­less we ourselves are convinced that what we are doing on thegraduate level is not merely academically excellent but relevant.

I think it is really, truly in the graduate school that we can dis­play solid scholarship and show to our country that we are able totrain the highly specialized skills the country needs for the future.

I notice we're going to have a .~horough review of the grawateschool offering of the University in several aspects. Let me contri­bute to that review by just going broadly over certain statistics thatmay help you have an overall perspective. In the first place, I haddifficulty in generating this kind of statistics from the University;so, if there are some mistakes and errors in these statistics, I hopeyou could help correct them during the discussion.

As far as I'm concerned, there are two very noticeable trends ingraduate school in the University of the Philippines.

One is the declining enrolment. Over a four-year period sinceAY 1978-79 up to, the statistics available, AY 1982-83, there hasbeen a steady 3.5% decline in graduate enrolment in both masteratand doctoral, or combined. Except for UPLB, this is true in all otherunits. In UP Los Ba~os, there has been a steady enrolment.

The other significant trend is in the graduation rate. Overall,for the combined masteral and doctoral programs, for masteral wehave an average graduation rate throughout the System of 20.6%and 11.4% in the doctoral level. This is the figure I got for AY1982-83.

Well, as averages go, the average had some unique individualfeatures behind it. The average graduation rate for masteral is20.6%. Here in Dlliman. it is 1996 for mastera!. You compare thatwith 28.396 of UPLB and. 18.5% of UP Manila and 11% of UPVisayas.

Now, how long does a graduate student stay in the pipeline ineither a masteral or doctoral program? Again, the figure of Dill­man is quite revealing, if not upsetting. In Oiliman, it takes anaverage of five years to complete a mesteral program and I don'tknow if this calculation is correct, but almost 14 years to finish adoctorate. Contrast this with UPLS. In UPLB, on the average, ittakes only 2-1/2 years for masteral and 3-1/2 years for doctoral.

So I think this conference is quite timely so that you can look'not just simply at this declining enrolment and graduation rate butalso at the employment of the faculty and facilities towards whatwe ought to do in graduate school. Perhaps it's right for you to lookat faculty recruitment, at admissions policies, graduation require­ments, at the provision of fellowships as welt as scholarships, at thestate of our libraries and laboratories for graduate school, and thingsof that sort.

Let me just say that the financial Situation of the University isnot going to be better; it's going to be worse, I think, in the nextthree years. That calls for even more need for priority, for tellingourselves what we should put our limited resources to. We are sayingmoney is the constraint to improving the graduate school. I thinkthere are other, perhaps non-material non-financial factors, butmoney is the very big constraining factor in whatever we have to doin the Un~ersity.

Therefore that emphasizes even more the need for us not to justblindly support any or all programs in the graduate level but per­haps, given our strength, our comparative advantage over other uni­versities, given OUr perception of what this University can do best,let us concentrate th~se efforts and facilities 'to those programs thatwe can do best in this University.

I think the' University can be proud of the fact that it is almosttruly a graduate University because, and my figure tells me that, outof the 47 degree-granting units, 43 offer graduate studies. And insome fields, we are the only one offering graduate studies such asengineering, urban and environmental planning and industrial rela­tions. There are also many graduate studies done wonderfully weltby some of our units.

Now, it is also, as I said in the beginning, proper to ask what isthe reason for this declining enrolment in graduate school. Is it theincreasing cost of graduate education? Or are there dissertationsdelayed by the unavailability of advisers or lack of funding ~SlfJ­

port? Part-time students, I recognize, represent peculiar problemsto both student and professor. And it is a legitimate question to askwhether professors, because a student is working, have to be morelenient towards that student.

$0 let me just repeat, we must now assess our graduate programsfrom the viewpoint of the University's goal. Let us do this again byasking ourselves what is the strength of this University in graduateschooling. What is its comparative. advantages over other universi­ties, even over other foreign universities? And what is the costneeded to support this priority?

So it is really up to you to determine our thrust, to determineOUr priorities. It is up to us in administration to help you and wepromise you all the support that you need in order to make thisUniversity, from Baguio to Tacloban, truly an outstanding -Univer­sity, an outstanding research and graduate University.

Fortunately, each campus has already chosen its respective pre­ferences as far as thrust is concerned. I understand, based on yourfive-year plan that we.are now reviewing, that Diliman will concen­trate on teacher renewal programs, on the basic sciences, in computerscience, and on Philippine culture and society. That, practically, is '.the whole gamut of human experience.

Los Banos wilt concentrate on agriculture. forestry and ruraldevelopment. UP Manila will concentrate on its distinctive strengthin the health field; UP Visayas in aquaculture, fisheries and themarine sciences.

But these are broad fields. I think it is up to us, up to you, theexperts of graduate studies, to pinpoint and define these general orbroad fields into specific needs that you think the University oughtto fill up so that our country can benefit from them.

So, again, thank you for the honor of giving these opening re­marks. Emy asked me originally to give a keynote address. But Irather deliver these opening remarks because a keynote addressseems to be forbidding.

So, welcome to Diliman and I hope you will have a very pro­ductive and enlightening discussion. Thank you very much.

OBLATION AND ABLATION

By Oscar M. AlfonsoExecutive Vice-President

University of the Philippines

(Eulogy delivered at necrological service for Dr. Elis80 M. Pajaroat the Knox Memorial United Methodist Olurch, 17October 1984.)

We feel for Mrs. Joaquina Tobi. Pejaroand the children, Rody,Edgar, Liz, Quina and Ces.

Both of them the gainer and garner of Eli's prolificacy, thefamily and U,P. now specially bear the sense of this destitution, MayI be pardoned for referring to him as Eli despite the solemnity ofthis occasion; to call him "Dr. Pajero" or "Professor Pajaro" feelslike sincerity diluted and friendship discounted.

First the oblation, now this ablation.Between Eli's offering of self to us and this currlnq him off from

us, Eli honored U.P. while U.P. honored him.Not one to diddle. Eli was prodigious in his output of musical

compositions: operas, ballets, concertos, symphonies, orchestral,vocal and choral works, solo instrumental works, chamber music. Atthat, I may have missed something important.

Eli gave back to U.P. rather handsomely for all that UP had pro­vided which in varying degrees, in one way or another, helped himproduce his great body of works or gave him recognition for them:the atmosphere of freedom in the University which stlmu lates in­novativeness: classes that brought his excellence as a teacher to thefore and which may have proved to be ~esting ground for some ofthe ideas developing in his mind; leaves of absence that took himaway from the classroom to enable him to pursue higher studiesabroad or to attend international conferences and seminars period­ically, which broadened his horizons and exposed him to otherseminal ideas; important administrative positions that, far frombeing burdens of responsibilities only, represented opportunities andoutlets for his talents and contributed to his projection; promotionshowever few and far between sometimes, not for lack of either in­tent at U.P.'s end or of qualifications on Eli's part, but for want offunds.

For his significant contributions in the field of music, as com­poser and teacher, Eli made it from student assistant in 1946 to thehighest rank and salary of professor in 1980. He was Acting Directorof the U.P. Conservatory of Music when it was elevated to the statusof a college, and he became its Acting Dean. In 1973 he was ap­pointed to the Francisco Santiago chair in composition, the firstchair in music to be established in U.P. He was conductor of theU.P. Male Glee Ctub. conductor of the U.P. Symphony Orchestra,chairman of the Committee on Cultural Presentations, and thenSpecial Assistant to the President on Cultural Affairs. On his retire­ment in 1980, the U.P. Board of Regents appointed him emeritusprofessor.

Eli is said to have bridged the long gap between Abelardo's deathin the 19305 and the issuing forth of Eli's works in the modernidiom from the 1950s. Former U.P. President Salvador P. Lopezreferred to him in 1978 as "creator and propagator of modern musicin the Philippines." Using familiar Philippine folk songs for thetheme, he composed works expressive of his nationalism influencedby international ism.

In making his mark in the world of music, Eli was also puttingV.P. in the forefront. He was the first and only Filipino composer tobe awarded a Guggenheim Foundation grant, a signal honor notonly for himself but also for his University. In 1949 he wrote"The Oblation," a symphonic poem composed to commemorateU.P.'s quadregesimaf anniversary. One of his chief compositions,"Ode to the U.P. Golden Jubilee" honored the University in 1958on its 50th anniversary. He also composed "Ode to AcademicFreedom" the same year.

Among other honors and manifestations of acclaim, Eli wastwice conferred the Republic Cultural Heritage Award. He wasalso recipient of the Presidential Medal of Merit, and of an awardfrom the U.P. Alumni Association.

All these in recognition of the outstanding contributions of amember of the U.P. faculty, which also served in part to recognizewhat U.P. was achieving in the field of music. Eli thus honored V.P.even as U.P. honored him. Parenthetically, U.P. is the donee anddepository of copies of his compositions.

Thinking of all these, in this moment of sadness when we areoppressed with a sense of great loss, we remember that so much wasgained because Eli lived among us and labored with us. Thinkingthus, it isas if, following Isaiah, light rises for us in the darkness andthe gloom becomes for us like midday.

(Address of President Edgardo J. Angara Before the CoordinatingCouncil of Private Educational Association (COCOPEA) and thePhilippine Association for Graduate Education in Celebration of theUnited Nation,' Week, 25 Ocrober 1984.)

The quest for order through law is at the core of human societyquite simply because without order violence becomes the rule ofexistence.

We need the law to reconcile the often conflicting demands ofmen and women on the environment and upon each other, to assurethem that certain forms of behavior will invite retribution. Law thusenables men and women to know what to expect, and on that basisto act accordingly. A lawless society denies men such expectations,subjecting their actions instead to whimsical judgment or to nojudgment at all.

The custodians of the law - those who make it, those who im­plement it, and those who interpret it - necessarily bear the mainresponsibility for a society of order or chaos. If the law is unjustpeople will be compelled to ignore or oppose it; if implemented un­evenly, favoring some and discriminating against others, then it isnot really law but a mockery of its very essence. For the law is, bydefinition, of indiscriminate application, neither for the poor alonenor for the rich, neither for the powerful solely nor for the power­less.

These of course are truths that need hardly be repeated. Theyare the assumptions, however, upon which I now base the statementthat ours is a society in danger of disintegration because lawlessnesshas become its dominant norm. Respect for the law is a value Fili­pinos have to learn allover.

I am not quite sure that our schools can do this by themselveswithout reexamining their own situation. There is a crisis of massiveproportions brewing in the educational system. I refer primarily tothe kind of confusion - in terms of nebulous means and ends - thatappears to enable almost anyone with financial resources to gaincontrol of our schools.

I do not wish to imply that UP is not itself in crisis. It is. Theprimary expression of that crisis is its financial difficulties. Its pur-'poses, being a university so used to change, are fairly clear to itself,if not to all its constituents. The UP, as you all know, has under­gone two major changes in the last 25 years.

The first was the enlargement of its links with world culturethrough the adoption of a strong general education program in1958. The second was the reorientation of its curricula and academicprograms towards social and national goals, a process still to becompleted.

Now I am not recalling these major changes in order to inviteyou to applaud UP, but to point out that 25 years is a long time foronly two major changes to have taken place. Yet the public believesthat the UP is radical and constantly in the throes of change.

The truth is that, like most universities, UP as an institution isconservative, though some of its constituents, such as its students,may not be. Society changes schools; it is seldom the case thatschools change society.

What this institutional conservatism suggests is that our schoolscannot be the vehicles for the revolution in values the times requireunless they themselves change first.

This implies a painful, conscious effort to make the schools rele­vant to the resolution of the political and soclo-econcrnlc problems

we are facing. This demands that our schools first of all be sure oftheir own purposes.

If it is the basic function of education to inculcate values, thenour schools must come to an agreement as to what these values are,and on that basis pursue together their propagation. But even thiswill notbe enough. It is wrong to think that the schools can inculcatedesirable values in the context of an environment hostile to thosevalues.

I mentioned the restoration of respect for the law as a value wemust re-inculcate. Perhaps we may add Filipinism and love ofcountry and a host of others. But we can succeed only partially atbest if conditions in our society are hostile to these values.

If the law is almost non-existent because it is broken everydayeven - or perhaps specially - by its custodians; if our people are

condemned to such grinding poverty that they equate being Fili­pino with starvation, disease, and ignorance - no amount of effortcan enable us to teach anyone adherence to the rule of law as theIynchpin of order, nor Filipinism as the core value that must animateour society.

No, the schoors cannot by themselves revolutionize our values­they require the help of other institutions, certainly the Church, thefamily, the judiciary, as well as others.

The judiciary, for example, is the obvious personification of therule of .law. The Church is the fountainhead of moral values, and thefamily the immediate source of the ideals individuals learn to liveby. All these must support our schools because the school is onlyone institution among many in the totality of influences and forcesthat shape a people's values.

The realization that the school is only one of these shapers ofvalues is not an admission of defeat before the battle has begun. Itis an admission of limitations and of what is realizable. Our schoolscannot expect of themselves - and should not be expected - to besaviours of society, an attitude rampant in a society that valueseducation as highly as ours does.

What our schools can do in the present crisis is what they aresupposed to do best: to produce skilled and knowledgeable men andwomen who will be useful to society. This implies that it is not onlythe transmission of knowledge our schools should be concernedwith but also with the transmission of an ethical outlook, a sense ofvalues.

This to me is the essence of school participation in the presentturmoil of our society. It is a participation that consists of far morethan the issuing of manifestoes or marching in the streets. But it isparticipation, nevertheless, and one that in the long run can have alasting impact. The formation of values, both in anticipation of a'new situation as well as in helping bring it about, is specially criticalat this time.

The rule of law, for example, should constitute the unifyingframework of a society at peace with itself. It is properly one of themost important values that must be developed and transmitted byour schools. The rule of law, after all, does not merely consist of aset of do's and don'ts of punishment to fit the crime, but is aboveall the basis of civilized conduct, because it is that which makes theuse of violence so unnecessary and peace a reality in society.

We must strive, it seems to me, to put into motion the mecha­nisms through which we can restore the rule of law both as a way oflife and as a social value. It is a national endeavor. Our schools playa key role and their contribution in this area might well be theirmost lasting to the making of a prosperous and peaceful Philippine I

future.

{Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at the Regular Meeting ofthe Rotary Club of Makati, East, on 26 October 1984, Rigodon

Ballroom, Manila Peninsulo I

During these past few weeks, a lot of public attention has beenfocused on the educational sector. The mass actions of studentgroups who have taken to the streets to protest tuition fees and .airother grievances; the wal kouts and pickets of teachers demanding

higher salaries; and the attempts of the Maharishi and the Age ofEnlightenment Foundation to take over the largest private univer­sity in the country as well as several other smaller schools have madeinstitutions of higher learning the center of so much ferment.

These developments have drawn our attention to the state ofPhilippine education, the prevailing educational policies and thefuture of educational institutions of higher learning in this country.It has raised basic questions, such as these: is the cost of highereducation in state-owned institutions solely the obligation of thestate as some student groups loudly contend? is higher education aright or a privilege? are educational institutions of higher learningjustified in their efforts to fix tuition and other miscellaneous feesas part of their efforts to generate the revenue required to financetheir operational costs? what can be done to alleviate the plightof colleges and university to enable them to cope with the economiccrisis?

In light of all these developments, it has become incumbentupon university presidents to present certain issues to the othersectors of society, particularly to the business sector which has beendirectly benefited by our educational institutions.

Your invitation tor me to address your group this afternoon was,. therefore, one which I could not pass up because of the opportunityto share with you my own views on the major problems that besetus and how we are trying to cope with them. As the Rotary Clubhas been noted for its tradition of service and lively forum for thediscussion of current affairs, I believe that pressing issues in educa­tion would fall within your area of interest,

More than any other sector of society, you are in the best posi­tion to appreciate the complex and cost pressures which educationalinstitutions have to withstand in the face of declining revenues andfast rising cost of educational activities. The business sector issimilarly beset with the burdens of inflation, high cost of money,restrictive fiscal and other regulatory policies. A considerable numberof companies have been forced to either merge with other com­panies, undergo retrenchment and/or altogether phase out. The onedifference is that the universities cannot go out of business even ifthey want to.

Educational institutions must remain alive and viable. They haveto in order to insure the supply of highly trained manpower. Univer­sities provide the leadership in the country. If we allowed them toclose shop, we would have effectively cut the succession line of in­tellectualleadership.

As a state university, the University of the Philippines has had toface up to these pressures even more than other educational institu­tions. The increasing demand for a U.P. education from a burgeon­ing Filipino population as well as the massive funding requirementsof an expanding University svstem have strained the University'slimited resources.

Some of you may wonder why I should cite the University asan example of an educational institution currently under siege whenit is being subsidized by the government.

In 1980, the University received f'"434.951M from the nationalgovernment. In 1981, its budget rose to P525,514M. This year, itstotal operating budget is P542,234M consisting of f'"460,434M ingovernment subsidy and Pal ,800M in internally generated income.The U.P. budget represents 1% of the total national budget foreducation.

The University's budget is 1/3 of the total budget for stateuniversities and colleges with some 74 other state colleges anduniversities sharing the remaining 2/3. It is, therefore, Quite evidentthat the University's subsidy from the government considering allthe competing demands upon the scarce educational resources isalready a fair share of the total national resources for higher educa­tion.

However, the University cannot continue to just rely on govern­ment resources to meet its own funding requirements to support itsacademic programs and activities. It must, in my view, on its owninitiative widen its base of support by developing alternative sourcesof funding so as to .augment the subsidy it gets from the nationalgovernment.

Such efforts are of vital importance to any university because 105

aside from generating the funds required to maintain and upgrade itsacademic standards, it would assure the university of the autonomywhich is so essential to its ebjttv to pursue its goals and purposes.For the extent to which an institution can claim independence isgauged by its ability to rely on its own resources.

It was with this in mind that we in the U.P. have embarked on anumber of income-generating potential of our idle assets. We haveentered into an agreement with the National Development Corpora­tion for it to manage our land grants in Basitan and in Quezon andLaguna. We are also negotiating with the Ayala Corporation to de­velop a portion of our Dillman campus into a productive industrialand research center.

The University has adopted drastic cost-cutting measures such asreducing its electrical and water consumption and freezing vacantpositions in order to reduce our operational costs.

The tuition fee increase serves an altogether different purpose.The new tuition fee structure of the U.P. will raise average tui­

tion fees from the present Pl6a to P373 a semester. The increasewill be implemented on a staggered basis over a period of foursemesters, with an average increase of :fl105 for the second semesterof this academic year and the first semester of AY 1985-86 and:fl125 for the second semester of AY 1985-86 and the first semes­ter ot Av 1986-87.

Two features of the U.P. tuition fee scheme, I believe, need tobe 'clarified because these have not been clearly understood bysome of ou r students, parents and the general public. One, is thatthe tuition fee scheme was designed to institute a more equitabledistribution of the costs of a U,P. education. Under the presentscheme, all U.P. students regardless of income, automatically enjoya subsidy from the tax-paying public. A U.P. student gets up to 85%subsidy of the actual cost of his U.P. education. The tuition feeshouldered by their parents represents only the remaining 15% ofthe cost of their education. Thus, I feel, it is not too much to askthe students to pay a little raise since their share is still a very smallpercentage of the total cost of a U.P. education and the compara­tive costs of tuition in other schools.

Under the proposed fee structure, for example, a U.P. studenttaking up B.S. Engineering would only pay :peOO/semester while astudent at De La Salle University has to pay :fI2,378 per semester.

A U.P. student majoring in BSBA would pay fl600/semester, asI compared with the Fl,173/semester that a student taking up thesame course has to pay at De la Salle and P2,166 at Ateneo deManila University.

A medical student in U.P, would only pay P4,OOO/semester whilea senior student in the same course has to pay flS,700/semester atUERM or P3, 730/semester at UST (including laboratory fees).

With the implementation of the new tuition fee increase begin­ning this second semester, those students who come from familiesearning fl50,OOO or more will be required to pay the full tuition feeas their parents' contribution to the cost of their education.

The second feature of our tuition. fee scheme is that it is tied upwith the expansion of our student sCholarships for the more finan­cially disadvantaged students. Under the new tuition fee scheme,students whose family income is less than:P50,OOO can avail them­selves of some form of financial assistance, whether tuition fee dis­counts or varying amounts of grants-in-aid, which not only provide100% tuition fee discounts but also book allowances, living allow­ances, and stipends.

Students from families with an annual gross incomes of P32,OOOor below would receive a 100 percent'tuitrcn fee discount, a :f500book allowance per semester and a stipend of PaOOmonthly.

Students coming 'from families with annual incomes of overP32,OOO and PSO,OOO are entitled to graduated tuition fee discountswhile only those with Incomes of over fl50,OOO have to pay fulltuition.

Part of the income to be generated from the tuition fee increasewill, therefore, be plowed back to the students directly in the formof scholarship assistance.

The tuition fee increase was, therefore, motivated by severalpurposes "" to maintain the University's high quality of education;to distribute opportunities for a state-supported education more

equitably; and to enable the University to maintain its autonomy as

an educational institution.The decision penned by Judge Luis Victor of the Quezon City

Regional Trial Court dismissing the petition filed by some studentsagainst the tuition fee eloquently states the justification for ul]iver.sities to raise tuition fees:

"The U.P. like any institution of learning, is a living organism.It must grow while adjusting to new conditions. It cannot remainstationary, otherwise, it will stagnate and die. To maintain itsacademic excellence, a price must have to be paid. In the unceasingfight for survival and quality education, the students, faculty, andthe -U.P. administration share a common and deep concern. If bythe implementation of the new tuition fees, the U.P. would beable to uphold its high academic standards and continued growth,is it unreasonable to ask U.P. students and their parents to con­tribute more? "

In these efforts, we are much heartened by the goodwill whichhave been demonstrated by so many groups outside the Univer­sity - especially our alumni and friends from the business sector.The Rotary Club of Makati East has, on several occasions, extendedus its generous support. I take this opportunity to express our deepappreciation for your understanding and goodwill.

Thank you.

{Introduction of the Guest Honor and Speaker President FerdinandE. Marco:; on the occssion of the V.P. Law Alumn; Assoc;ationLuncheon Reun;on on 7 November 1984 at Ma/acanangPalace by

U.P. President Edgardo J. Angara.)

When one has the pleasant task that I have of introducing ourguest speaker and guest of honor, I think one has the advantage ofthe plentiful and abundant writings about the man and one doesn'twant anything more except the selection of materials about him.But at the same time, one has the disadvantage of performing almosta superfluous role because our guest of honor and speaker has led alife so public. He has occupied the centerstage in our country and inour history for almost all his professional life.

So, today, in order not to sound superfluous and at least addsomething to what others have said about the President, I tried tolook for what his contemporaries and classmates have said abouthim when he was a student in the University of the Philippines.

Let me start with what his classmates have said about him inhigh school. They said that our guest speaker during his high schooldays (and this complaint came from the lady cla~smates of ourPresident) showed a lack of interest in girls. (laughter) I am sorrythe First Lady didn't hear that. (laughter), The president of hisclass, Class '33 of U.P. High School, Ambassador Pepe Laurel, re­marked that he may have had his crushes but he was very secretiveabout them. Looking back, his classmates now recall, they thinkthat he was a late .bloomer. (laughter).

Let me tell you what his contemporaries during his law studentdays have said about him. As you know, the President was a top-ratedebater and orator. He was the captain of the debating team thatwon the first U.P. lnrer-Fratemttv debate. He was captain of theteam and his two other members were Speaker Nicancr Yniguezand Justice Ramon Fer .... andez.

Let me read to you what the Philippine Collegian of November30,1938 said about him:

"Ferdinand E. Marcos is an ideal specimen of the youthof the far Norm from whence he comes - diUgenr, deter­mined, sturdy and brown. flaughterJ. Once upon a time, hewas a cadet major of the V.P. Cadet Corps. He is probablythe only cadet officer who has won almost aJJ of the medalsfor markmanship and efficiency offered by the M;J;tBry

Sc;enceand Tactics Department."As a student, he is the ace scholar of the senior class

of the College of Law."As a debater and orator, he ;s naturally fluent and

forceful. He captained, - here I hesitate to mention the fra­ternity's name, the UPSILON SIGMA PHI team that won ­during our college days, Mr. President, that fraternity is whatwe called 'the other fraternity' (laughter) - over the ClubManresa in the first inter-fraternity debate of the Univer­sity. He is a Quezon medalist of the College of Law for excel­lence in omtory. He is one of the most prominent and dis­tinguished members of the U.P. Debating-Oratorical Club."

His winning oration, ~'We Renounce War," delivered in Novem­ber 1938 was published in full in the Philippine Collegian of Novem­ber 30, 1938.. Let me quote his words, but before I do so, pleaseremember that his oration was delivered when our guest of honorwas only 21 years old and at a time when the threat of World War Itwas only looming but had not actually broken out. That was threeyears before the war came to Philippine shores. And here I quoteour guest of honor:

My people, I too love freedom. I too have dreamt of freeexistence. I have learned the story of my fathers. I havemourned over the gravesof my heroes.

"I too can charge the battleline. With this breast, I toocan meet the enemy blade. I too can burn in enemy fire. Itoo am a soldier; I too can fit an unknown grave; I too cansuffer. J too can die.

"1 see my country grovel beneath the conquering might. Isee my mother cry over the grave of an unknown dead. I canfeel her heart cry with unavailing grief. I see my tittie sisterswander through the waste of this desolate land - your land,my land - in rags, in hunger and in thirst, broken of spirit,worn by travail, sport of the sun flames in summer and theicy winds of night Still I answer, I too can suffer. I too candie. "

Today's challenge is no less reat. Our guest of honor's same callfor unity and bravery, for peace and freedom is, I submit to you, asrelevant 46 years ago as it is today.

Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow alumni, our guest of honor andspeaker, His Excellency, President Ferdinand E. Marcos.

PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, PUBLIC ETHICS

(Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at the 10th Philippine Busi­ness Conference on 22 November 1984 at the Philippine PlazaBall­

room.}

The 10th Phliippine Business Conference has carried forward ourunderstanding of the present crisis - exposing more of its roots andbringing into greater focus the extent and complexity of our pre­dicament. It has pointed out more clearly, and stressed with greaterurgency, the painful measures we must soon adopt to remove our­selves from this predicament before it is too late and set our feetagain in the direction of that bright future that once seemed prom­ised to us by Providence.

I shall 'take one of the strands of analysis offered here and de­velop it into the theme assigned to me - "National Values forDevelopment". Before doing so, I want to sev.that I find it appro­priate that this theme should close the conference because it toucheson the factor that will ultimately decide whether the measures wetake to resolve the crisis will terminate in failure or success. I amreferring to the National WI!! and the mind-set necessary to engage itwith the necessary commitment in the work of national reconstruc­tion. Unless we pull that off, we shall only sink deeper into ourproblems until the point of no return when this country eithererupts in revolution or, what is worse, slips permanently into im­poverished inertia like so many of the countries in Africa.

One of the fundamental cause of the Philippine crisis is thepotltization of the economy: The British conservati~e economist,P.T. Bauer, has long argued that the politization of Third World eco-

--

nomies is the root cause of their underdevelopment. This may betoo much, but I agree that it is one of the major causes in our case.It is also one of the reasons why any solutions we devise will haveproblematic prospects of success.

The drift of the solutions proposed in this business conference isthat the initiatives for national survival should lie with the businesscommunity. I submit that that initiative will not be taken unlesswe can revive the entrepreneurial spirit among our people. Thatspirit is singularly lacking in energy where you can still find itamong our people. I will try to explain why_

"The historian, Arnold Toynbee, argued that the development ofa people proceeds by a series of challenges and responses. If there isno threat to a people's well-being or survival, a people will not act.He pointed to the barrenness of Greece as the reason for the glo­rious emergence of its civilization. As necessity is the mother ofinvention, so the necessity to meet the growing needs of their grow­ing population caused the Greeks to look beyond their meagre agri­culture to commerce and empire to meet those needs. The challengewas the barrenness of the land. The response was enterprise over theseas.

Toynbee warned, however, that not all challenges provoke posi­tive responses. Certain challenges are so overwhelming in magnitude

that they provoke, instead, despair and a self-conscious limiting ofhoriz.ons. He points to the Chinese migrants in Asia. Privation drovemany Chinese out of the mainland into the richer lands of Asia. Inthese lands, where plenty bred a certain relaxed attitude in the nativeinhabitants, the Chinese rose to dominance because the only chal­lenge they had to respond to was .re challenge of making a fortunein strange but rich surroundings. The Chinese did not fare so well inAmerica. There they encountered a wealth of natural opportunitiesbut also a multitude of other 'Immigrants as intensely committed todominance as they were. Tremendously outnumbered by Europeanimmigrants as dedicated and hardworking as they were, the Chinesespirit of enterprise left no more than a minor mark on the Americanculture and economy.

Something like that happened to the Filipino spirit of enterprisein the Philippines itself.

The Filipinos have an innate spirit of commercial enterprise, asRizal took pains to show in order to refute the Spanish charge ofFilipino indolence. Citing the authority of contemporary chroniclers,Rizal said: "All the histories of those first years, in short, aboundin long accounts about the industry and agriculture of the natives:mines, gold-washings, looms, farms, barter, naval construction,raising of poultry and stock, weaving of solk and cotton, distelleries,manufacturers of arms, pearl fisheries, the civet industry, the hornand hide industry, etc ..."

The entrepreneurial spirit that manifested itself in pre-Spanishtimes survived the ordeal of colonization and found itself as vibrantas ever in the Commonwealth days and in the period immediatelyafter the Second World War.

And then it began to wither.What new challenge was it ~hat failed to evoke another positive

response from the spirit of enterprise? What challenge was this thatfinally sapped a spirit that had been able to withstand even the un­fair competition of foreigners during colonial times? The Filipinonever seemed daunted by the appearance of foreign competition. Atthis time Filipinos continued to pioneer in manufacturing, banking,shoe-making, food production and processing, farming, handicraftsand, in the 50's, electronics. What then is the challenge that stifledthe spirit of enterprise?

I submit that the challenge consisted in the extreme politizationof the major fields of economic activity. This development changedentirely the terms of business competition.

Sometime after Independence in 1946, business found itself ina new environment. Business thought that independence would clearthe eccnomlc field of unfair foreign competition. This did nothappen. The foreigners stayed on. But the Filipino entrepreneur hadbeen able to cope with that presence in the past. Now, however, hefound himself confronted with an even bigger threat: the threat of ahomegrown competition that drew its superior resources from thevery government that was supposed to provide fair terms of business 107

competition.This threat emerged from a sudden reversal of values: a trans­

formation in the concept of public office as.an instrumentality ofpublic service to the concept of public office as a boundless oppor­tunity for private gain.

There was a time when public office was the last honor given toprivate enterprise, and private sector's first contribution to publicservice. Then, the privatewealth of the office holder wasseen as themeans by which he could dedicate himself more completely topublic service. Private wealth was the shield of his public integrity,the barrier to political corruption.

Suddenly it all changed. War had blasted many fortunes and post­

war reconstruction suddenly offered the means to rebuild or startprivate fortunes. There were U.S. war surpluses, war damage claims

I and Japanese reparation payments. But these sources of renewedwealth were accessible only through public office. This is where theprocess of transformation and moral degeneration began. As the lateSenator Recto then observed: "All political offices are the opensesame to wealth and influence".

Soon these sources of sudden wealth dried up. But the precedenthad been set, an easier way to private fortunes than hard work andhigh risk had been shown. Public office was the widest route to thelimitless resources of the nation. This development debased the con­cept of public office as a public trust and stripped it entirely of thehonor that once surrounded it.

But never mind. If public office was no longer the means toachieve public respectability, private wealth would suffice to giveyou distinction. The swiftest route to that distinction was, of course,public office. Public office ceased to be the honorable end of a good

man's striving; it became instead the means to a dubious distinction.All that remained now was for the debasement of Filipino values

to remove the dubiousness of that distinction and make wealth, re­gardless of origin, the singular badge of Filipino honor.

After the postwar reconstruction schemes had exhausted them­selves, government credit became the next easy route to privatewealth and social prominence. Again the gateway was public office,

the public offices that controlled the grant of this credit. One indus­trial project after another got government approval and governmentfinancing in many cases regardless of intrinsic merit. The overridingcriterion was the immediate private gain of the public official andhis business proxy, not the long term benefit the enterprise couldgive the country.

From government credit and financing of industrial projects, itwas one easy step to government itself setting up public businessenterprises in areas normally reserved to the private sector. And asthe number and scope of these government entities grew, the sphereof business left to the private sector got narrower and smaller.

Where did this leave the honest businessman, the true entrepre­neur? He found himself having to risk his private, hard earnedcapital in competition with those public officials turned businessmenwho had the unlimited resources to 'undercut him and who could,

moreoever, alter at any time the rules of the economic game. And ifthese two advantages were not enough, then the public official turnedbusinessman had a final card to play. He could take over the com­petition.

In the face of this overwhelming challenge, it is not surprisingthat the spirit of genuine enterprise has shriveled and in many placesdied.

This conference has taken the right tack in accepting, as thechief responsibility of business, the major burden of national recon­struction. But I believe that none of the measures it proposes willachieve that end until we can summon again the spirit necessary toimplement these measures and make them succeed. This we cannotdo until we address ourselves to covering that crack in our valuesystem through which our entrepreneurial spirit is being drainedoot.

This then is the paramount task before us: a reversal of the cur­rent concept of public office as the gateway to private wealth andthe restoration of the old concept of public office as a public trust,as the ultimate honorconferred on a life of honest endeavor and asthe first opportunity of an accomplished citizen to return the favors

his country has bestowed on him.This is the task that you should now address. I am not proposing

that you now lose yourselves in an endless pursuit of true Filipinovalues. That is the last thing I want. There is no time for that. Manyof our values are intact. Many of our values are ready to be calledinto service in the task of national reconstruction. It is here - in thedistorted concept of public office - that the fatal flaw lies. It is tothe correction of this distortion that you should focus your atten­tion exclusively.

Although I am convinced that private enterprise must carry themain burden of reconstruction, I know that it cannot do it alone. Itwill need the ooperation and active intervention of government, notleast to mitigate some of the unavoidable 'social inequities that theexclusive concern for private profit creates. Private business will alsoneed government as a business partner in many ventures that arenecessary for national development but that are beyond the capa­cities of private enterprise to finance.

It is imperative therefore that we correct this flaw that has madegovernment intervention, which is so necessary still, so fatal to oureconomy.

What measures can we take in this direction? Some come easilyto mind. Business should support a truly free press so that all actionsof public servants are brought quickly to light. A free press is not anunmitigated blessing. Many businesses before martial law sufferedfrom its excesses. But consider now whether those inconvenienceswere not a small price to pay for the ultimately fair environment inwhich business honestly competed and grew.

Another measure is to cultivate in ourselves a heightened senseof public concern. Let us be as ready to denounce the unfair compe­

tition suffered by another businessman as we are when we aredirectly affected. Remember that unfair competition wherever itoccurs. sets a precedent and establishes a pattern that will soonspread to our own areas of concern.

There is still another important measure we can take.Consider how placque-intensive is Filipino society. On every

occasion there is always a flood of placques for almost everyonepresent. It is almost like exchange-gift on Christmas. This is just themost exaggerated symptom of the Filipino's warmth and hospitality.He will give away anything so long as it will please the receiver.

But honor is something we should jealously guard, as much inourselves as in others. If we are too liberal with it, we debase it, andso debase even the honor in us. Also, the" search for honor and dis­

.finction is one of the chief motivators of human behavior and a sig­nificant instrument for controlling that behavior. Let us thereforebe more circumspect about who we honor, and for what achieve­ment, and by what means he attained it. How man got to the top ismore important than the fact that he is there.

When we confer honor on a man we are telling the public that heshould be an object of imitation by them. Obviously we are notasking the public to produce a duplicate of his success but rather torecreate in their lives the honorable aspects of his struggle to attainit.

The immediate response we must make to the challenge beforeus is the renewed faith and confidence we must place in our entre­preneurs whose dying spirit of enterprise can be revived by therestoration of the ideal of public office as a public trust.

Only then can the difficult task of national reconstruction be­gin in earnest.

(Keynote Address of President Edgardo J. Angara at the ValedictorySymposium on the Occasion of the Retirement from the Universityof Dr. Remigio E. Agpalo, on 23 November 1984, at the FaCUltyCenter Conference Hall.J

Let me say with all sincerity that I am happy to join the facultyof Social Sciences and Philosophy in honoring a member of thatfaculty whose scholarship, dedication and commitment to the teach­ing profession are well known.

In honoring Dr, Rerriigio Agpalo, and in gathering today to listento his lecture, the University's constituents might do well to regard

the occasion as a restatement of two basic commitments.These commitments we all know. The constant repetition of the

labels we know them by, indeed, threatens to deprive them of theirsubstance.

The first of these commitments of course is what we call oftenglibly and too lightly, as excellence. The second, again something towhich we, unfortunately, can find no better label, is our commit­ment to the development of a knowledge that is truly Filipino, interms of both method and concern. Dr. Agpalo's career is a primeexample of these twin commitments which w~ are now restating. Hehas striven, during the last 30 years, to impart, in an imaginative, in­teresting and creative manner to his students the knowledge he hasacquired; he has sought to expand the frontiers of that knowledge,most important, he has applied his scholarly skills to the effort tounderstand certain political aspects of the Philippine reality ­aspects which, I might add, grow more crucial and more compelling:

as events unfold in this country.I am, of course, merely restating here a basic assumption of the

teacher's and scholar's craft. It is that the reality that surrounds us,whether social or natural, is a reality we can comprehend, and in ourcomprehension, perhaps master.

The teacher aims to transmit across generations this understand·ing so that it may be, in their hands, a means for transforming theworld. That, after all, is what knowledge is all about; it is for makingthings better, or it is nothing.

These are, of course, grand words and grander concepts still.The pressures of daily existence and the compromises and dis­appointments of a life often removed from grandeur, even life in the

academe, indeed tend to make us cynical of such words and con­

cepts. They do exist, however; such concepts are real and are thevery reasons for the academic calling. It is therefore necessary forus to recall them now and then, so that we may perhaps see our

tasks - thankless and often tedious but quite vital to the renewal of. our society.

This occasion is a good one to recall the grandness and themajesty of the teaching profession, and remind us all that a life ofteaching is a life well-spent. It is my hope, however, that you donot need convincing as far as this is concerned. Your presence todayshould be proof eloquent enough that we know teaching for what itis.

Dr. Agpalo today will do something he has done many times inthe past, in hundreds of classrooms and lecture halls. His topic is,as expected, a timely and original one, and something in which be­cause of the way politics has loomed large in our national life, weare all keenly interested.

In addition, Dr. Agpalo has always been an interesting speakerand writes clearly, and I am quite sure that both his paper and that

f the other speakers will be sufficiently volatile to generate at leastas much light as heat. We are all looking forward to an enlighteningsession.

(Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at the Annual Parade andReview and Presentation of the Corps of Sponsors. U.P. DCMT on28 November 1984. ParadeGround.)

We observe this tradition at a time when the military establish­ment is under close scrutiny by our people. As members of the U.P.Corps of Cadets and Corps of Sponsors, I assume you are aware ofthis and are concerned that the military has fallen into such lowesteem in the eyes of so menv of our people.

Recent events - the economy, civil strife, political assassina­tions - have raised many questions regarding the military establish­ment. Students protest that the budget of the military is far inexcess of national security requirements, which wouldn't be that bigif more public funds went into social services to preempt the causesof insurgency. Other sectors demand assurances that civilian supre­macy over the military will be respected. Things have come to sucha head that people are asking whether the military can, with honor,survive to discharge with efficiency its proper role in society.

At this time, it is timely to remind ourselves of the importantrole the military has played in our national life.

The Philippine military tradition has been a laudable one. It hasdeep roots in our past: The Philippine military can point to a dis­tinguished record of service in our history.

Towards the end of the last century, the Philippine militaryunder General Aguinaldo gave coherence and direction to our heter­ogeneous people's demand for independence. In 1941, it dischargedwith honor, at much cost in blood and suffering, its sworn commit­ment to defend the nation against external aggression.

In the 19505 it fought in Korea so the Philippines could live upto her responsibilities as a member of the United Nations. It is well,at this time, to remind ourselves that the Philippine military earnedthe highest praise for its conduct in that war.

Also in the 19505, the military defeated an insurgency thatthreatened a genuine, even if imperfect, democracy. It achievedthis result by a combination of high valor in the field and deep com­passion for a people whom economic injustice had driven to insur·gency.

In the late 60's end through the 70's up to the present, themilitary has been engaged in a two-fronted war against a social re­bellion that threatens to escalate Into a revolution, and against a reli­gious and ethnic rebellion that once, and perhaps again, threatened

to become a war of secession.

There is much in those two conflicts for which the militaryshould be ashamed. There is also much for which we should be

grateful to them. None of us, I think, want to see our country dis­membered after all the sacrifices made by our heroes to put it to­

gether.As this short history suggests, our military has discharged, not

without honor, its role as the guardian of the nation's security andguarantor of its territorial integrity.

As you are no doubt aware, however, the military's role hasexpanded far beyond the function I have just described. Increasingly,the military establishment has been dectoved to dealenot only withinsurgency problems, also to maintain civil peace and order - apolice function; to provide manpower support for various develop­

ment projects - such as road construction and other public works;to assist in, if not carry the main burden of, disaster relief, and evento handle the detention, investigation, and trial of persons suspectedof being subversive - a task that requires the patient virtues andhumane respect of lawyers.

The widening powers given to the military have blurred thelimits of their proper jurisdiction and competence and created, inthe public mind, a great uneasiness of the military's future role in

our country.While the growing involvement of the military in civilian life has

had beneficial results, it has also had some negative consequencesThe dispersal of an increasing number of troops in remote areas, farfrom the careful supervision of responsible higher officers, has pavedthe way to many abuses. This has inclined an increasing number ofour people to seek protection in insurgency. No less than the AFPChief of Staff, Fidel Ramos, bas admitted that the military is re­garded by some communities as oppressors, rather than protectors ,of the people.

This part of the military record has made it very difficult tothink objectively about the indispensable and proper role of themilitary in our nation's life. But think of it we must. We cannotafford to look upon the military as a threat to, rather than as aguarantor of, the democratic ideals on which the stability andgrowth of our country depend.

Whether we like it or not, we live in a world of jealous powersagainst whose designs only a professional standing army is adequatedefense. Unfortunately, this rationale, which is legitimate, has beenmuch abused by those who have used the power of the army in thepursuit of private interests and in derogation of the national welfare.But the rationale stands. We cannot, as a self-respecting sovereignstate, allow the fate of our territorial integrity, political stability,and way of life to be left in other hands than ours. We need our ownarmy to protect our own interests. That is all there is to it.

It is therefore incumbent on us all, especially on you in the

DCMT, to restore the high public esteem in which our army was

once held. A lot of officer material is drawn from the ranks of theDCMT. You have therefore a deep responsibility to give your DCMTcourses the most serious attention. If you learn the military artswell, you will be in a position to increasethe military's awareness ofthe values and ideals that the military was established to protect in

the first place.I am confident that, asin the past and in other fields of endeavor,

you in the U.P. will not shirk your respcnsibilitv. I am dependingon you to do your part in the general task to restore the lustre tothe tarnished shield of our nation.

(Remarks of President Edgardo J. Angara at the Book Launchingof the School of Economics' 'White Paper" on 4 December 1984.)

Someone remarked that even if you put all the economists in theworld end to end, they still wouldn't reach a conclusion. Anotheronce said that economists have a particular knack for stating the ob­vious in terms of the incomprehensible. Hence the need for the para­graph excerpts on the margin of every page.

But I say that in jest, of course. The reasons for our crisis are farfrom obvious. And I am personally satisfied by the lucid presenta­tion of the analysis. We feel this crisis everywhere, but we frequently

get mixed up about its real causes, about its root causes. Some ofus can't distinguish them from the intervening variables or abettingfactors. This U.P. study solves the problem for some of us by pre­senting one coherent systematic view. Certainly not the only one orthe only valid one. But it's a good one for all that you may sayabout it.

Moreover, I feel it is an exciting view. I consider this WorkshopReport a distinct service to the cause of serious discussion and en­lightened inquiry into the nature and causes of our national pre­dicament.

People are free to quote from it what they like or to disparage italI they want. What they do with the copy they bought is their busi­ness. What the authors have done is to present something anyonecan sink his teeth into. Here's the meaty workshop report just wait­ing to be digested and torn apart. Nobody's really expecting con­gratulations because of this. That wasn't the point of the whole

stUdY,'To me, it seems the purpose was to add to what we know by

showing what conclusions you can come up with if you look at

Philippine reality from a certain viewpoint.

There's no expectation that through this viewpoint economistscan now speak of having common ground. Economists are famousfor building schools of thought within schools of thought; the pro­liferation of standpoints proceeds in geometric progression. This in­tellectual diversity accounts for the diversity of policy prescriptionsthat descend upon us and fight for our attention or beg for thebenefit of a doubt.

.But it can't be any other way. If all the economists in the worldwere right in their own ways on everything, we should't have eco­nomic problems. But we do. So it's the least that economists can doto work their way out of the messes they helped create.

Levity aside, this Workshop Report is a piece of timely scholar­ship. It contrasts sharply with so many other investigations whichcontribute more to our amusement and bafflement than to ourknowledge. It is a far cry from many research reports that only offerunintelligible answers to insoluble problems.

The problems that this Report grapples with are not insolubleproblems. They are thorny concerns, but they are not really impos­sible to solve. At least, they will not seem to be impossible a!' long aseconomists keep formulating solutions. We keep getting comprehen­sive solutions in one form or another. We know that not one ofthem by itself is in any way bound to work. Perhaps we should saynot one of them is going to work. This is because economic realityis simply too vast to admit of neat conceptualizations or simple pre­scriptions for positive change. BUT THIS IS NO CAUSE FOR DIS

MAY.All we have to do is to keep the discussion going. We just have to

keep producing studies, updating them, overhauling them, refiningthem, discarding some, and fine-tuning the policy prescriptions. Aslong as the ball is kept rolling, we stand a good chance of hittingupon a workable over-all solution to our economic woes.

In this regard, I againcongratulate the paper writers-turned-bock­

authors. They kept the discussion alive; they kept the ball roll! ng.They presented their analysis no matter how premature or - better- long overdue it may have seemed. They presented their solutionno matter how unworkable others may perceive it to be. They didthis in the name of timely scholarship. We are proud that they arepart of this University.

Thank you,
