THE COVER

In the darkness of the night on January 19, 1985, a skiffpushed off from Batan Bay. on the northeastern side of AklanProvince, and headed towards the tWinklin.9.Jlg~ts of the waitingR/V "Sardlnella". A few minutes later, Capt. Rey C. Verdejo andsome members of the "Sardinella" crew, and a group of Fisheriesseniors underpcinq on-board training welcomed aboard Pres. Edgardo J. Angara, his wife Gloria, and some 'Officials of the UP System.Pres. Angara, and his party were on their way to the UP in the Visavas (UPVl in Iloilo City. In Iloilo, they would join the members of-the Board of Regents (BORI, those of the President's AdvisoryCouncil (PAC), and other system officials for a three-day workingvisit at the UPV.

The trip to the southern autonomous unit had been plannedin order to give the system officials, the BOR members and the PACmembers a first-hand look at the actual conditions obtaining in theunit. a chance to dialogue with the students, faculty. personnel,and unit officials, and to enable these constituents to present theiraccomplishments or problems and concerns to the policy-makers.

And so from January 21-23, 1985, a series of meetings andconsu Itations took place in the picturesque campus of the UPV.There were also inspection trips to the Leganes station of theBrackishwater Aquaculture Center, a research unit attached to theUPV, and to the unfinished new campus site in Miag-ao, about 14kilometers away from the present campus site,

On -Januerv 21, Pres. Angara had an informal dialogue withthe heads of the different college councils and of the various studentorganizations. The students came out from this dialogue with twocommitments from the president. One is for the creation of a student loan board, with ~20,OOO from the UP Foundations as seedmoney. Through this loan board, the students would be able to getfinancial assistance for meritorious projects. The other commitmentis for the realization of the transfer of the campus to the Miag-aosite by 1986. It will be recalled that the construction in Miaq-aostarted in 1981, but was delayed by inclement weather as wellas by the delayed releases ot funds, which was aggravated !;Iy therise of construction costs due to inflation. Pres. Angara's commitment, which he would reiterate several times during the visit.rekindles hope for a transfer in the not too long future.

After the dialogue with students, the deans, directors. andadministrative heads of UPV also got their chance to meet withPres. Angara.

The next day. the 974th meeting of the BOR was held atthe Sarabia Manor Hotel in Iloilo Cttv. In attendance were ViceChairman of the Board Pres. Angara, Regent Roberto S. Benedicto. Regent Clemente C. Gatmaitan, Jr., Regent Emil Q. Javier,Regent Conrado LL Lorenzo, Jr., Regent Dlonlsia Rola (the UPVChance uorl. Regent Emesto G. Tabulata and Secretary of theBoard Prof. Martin V. Gregorio. Also present during the meetingwere Executive Vice-President Dr. Oscar A. Alfonso, Vice-Presidentfor Academic Attairs Or. Irene C. Cortes, Vice-President for Planning and Finance Dr. Raul P. de Guzman, Budget Director TeresaF. Bernabe, Dean Leandro A. Viloria of the School of Urban andRegional Planning, and Ms. Ma. Lourdes Almazan, the StudentRepresentative to the BOR. It must be noted that during the meeting, Regent Benedicta pledged to help in getting government tunding for the completion of the Miag-ao Construction.

On January 23, a convocation was held at the UPV Gym.To the elation of the University audience, Pres. Angara announced,among other things, a ten percent salary increase for all UP personnel and individual merit increases for deserving employees in 1985.. And so there is the brief sketch of the UPV visit. Beyondits more tangible accomplishments like "those which may be gleane~from the minutes of the various meetings, the presence of the unt,versltv's top officials, the BOR, and-PAC in the Southern ~utono

mous unit served to reinforce amongst the students, f-acu~ty a.ndpersonnel that feeling of unity with a larger system- the University

of the Philippines System.

We in Asia have often found our musical traditions a source ofbeauty and edification. Modern forms and sounds, however, havebeen eroding our appreciation of traditional music, especially among

the young.This is why I consider the University Composers Forum on Asian

Traditional Music a very noble undertaking. The time has come for 9

us to rediscover in OUf midst, a rich musical heritage and evolvefrom it compositions that express our souls and sentiments.

May I therefore wish the Forum the success it deserves and extend my fel lcitations to its participants and organizers.

I take immense pleasure in greeting the U.P. Law Class '35 onthe occasion of their Golden Jubilee Reunion.

The "supplies" plentiful in this occasion? Memories. Remembrances of college days, of the passing of time and events from thosedays, of principles and dreams fulfilled or frustrated, of faces andfeats.

Sirs and Mesdames:

This is further to my letter of 8 November 1984 on your donation of fl1,OOO.OO a month for a minimum period of five years tosupport a professorial chair.

Inasmuch as professoriat chairs in the University of the Philippines System are awarded only to the qualified members of thefaculty on the tertiary or college level in recognition of outstandingachievement. your proposal that the chair be awarded to one of theUPIS high school or grade 7-10 teachers could not be implementedwithout going against University policy.

I am, therefore. writing you to request that your generous donation be made available to a member of the faculty on the collegiatelevel consistently with the rules promulgated by the Board of Regents governing the' establishment of and the conditions attached to

professorial chairs.

Very truly yours,


Dear Mr. Diaz:

This refers to your letters of 24 September 1984 and 19 October1984 urging the holding of democratic consultation in connectionwith the appointment of the Dean of the College of Education.

While we understand the sentiment that prompts you to suggestthis procedure, it would not be amiss to recall the University rulesregarding the appointment of deans. This is spelled out in Section10 of Act No. 1870. thus:

Sec. 10. The body of instructors of each college shall constitute its faculty, and as presiding officer of each faculty, there shall be a dean electedfrom the members of such faCUlty by the Board onnomination by the President of the University...... (Underscoring supplied.I ~.

Art. 78 of the Revised Code of the University of the Philippinesreiterates this provtslon.

The responsibility .for the appointment of dean of any college istherefore lodged by law and the rules exclusively in the President ofthe University and the Board of Regents. In the course of the President's nominating function he may choose to consult a person orgroups of persons or he may take counsel with no one. The discretion is his.

The establishment of the University System and the creation ofthe office of chancellor for each autonomous university introduced a modification in the process in the sense that the Chancellorrecommends and the President nominates for the deanship.

Any procedure added on to the recommendation by the Chancellor and the nomination by the President is at best advisory. Thedemocratic consultations held in the past were as dominated, consultative in character with no binding effect on either the recommending or nominating authority. Since the decision on whether ornot to consult or whom to consult is for the Olancellor or the President to make, an alternative method like the creation of a searchcommittee to assist the Chancellor or the President may be adopted.The Board of Regents enunciated the policy of employing thesearch committee method in choosing 'Chancellors for U.P. Manilaand U.P. Diliman. The President in filling the positions of Directorof the National Institutes followed the procedure. The adoption ofthe same methdd by the Acting Chancellor of U.P. Dillman in therecommendation for a number of deanships come well within his

discretion.We are not unmindful of the importance of securing the opinions

of the various constituencies in the matter of appointment to theposition of dean in any college. The same result may, however, beobtained without having to go throughthe process of the so-calleddemocratic consultation which has been found to be fraught withserious defects. The University has adopted the practice of creatingsearch committees charged with the responsibility of assisting theChancellor and the President in determining whom to recommendor nominate to the Board of Regents. This has been found to be themore desirable and effective way of identifying the person mostsuitable for the positions to be filled.

It is our view that the best interests of the University and itsvarious constituencies are properly served by this procedure.

Than k you for y au r interest and warm personal regards.

Very truly yours,

This refers to your proposal for an agreement between the University of the Philippines and your corporation to collaborate in the

Since the bulk of the training programs indicated in your brochure are carried out by U.P. Los Banos, we referred the proposal to

the administration there for comment. They advise us that exceptfor one Animal Science training program,commitment to which wasgiven at a lower administrative level, U.P.

Dear Minister Tolentino:

For years, a number of ,Filipino groups have been treated to thatrare and edifying experience of visiting the People's Republic ofChina on the invitation of the Chinese government.

Several of these groups have actually been planning for sometime now to reciprocate. the warm hospitality and generosity of ourChinese friends by inviting a return d~legation of eight Chienseacademicians and scholars to come to the Philippines for an exchange of views and a cultural tour of our country.

We deem it only proper that we make an attempt, to the extentthat our modest resources will allow, to contribute to the enhancement.of frien~:Hy ties and cultural exchange which the Filipino andChinese peoples began in earnest several years ago.

We have much to offer our Chinese friends. We can show themour rich cultural heritage, our present efforts at attaining progress,

and our own struggles as a developing nation.Delegations from the UP Asian Center, Maryknoll College,

WOMEN (Women in Media Now) and U.P. Department of PoliticalScience, for over a year now, have been discussing the possibility ofinviting the Chinese scholars. They have actually prepared a suitableitinerary and are prepared to make arrangements for a two-weekstay of a Chinese delegation sometime in September or October of1985.

We wish, therefore, to request your kind approval and endorsement of this proposal. All expenses will be borne by the Philippinedelegations, who will raise the funds from private sources. The Uni-

versity of the Philippines will host one dinner for them. If our re

sources permit, we might also be able to provide them inexpensive

but comfortable lodgings within the campus.Thank you very much, and please accept our warmest wishes for

your continued good health during the coming year.,Very truly yours,

Thank you very much for your recent offer of financial support for additional educational projects. Considering that one of our

present thrusts is the development of our graduate program, wethought that your organization would be interested in supportinggraduate scholarships. Any help that the University may get in thisregard will redound to the benefit of the educational system ingeneral especially because most of our graduate students are teachersin other schools.

To give you an idea of the amount involved we estimate that ayearly allotment of twenty-five thousand pesos (f125,OOOI will coverall school fees as well as a book allowance and a monthly stipend ofthe scholar.

We hope you will see fit to make this another area of our educational partnership.

Dear Mr. Hirano:

In recognition of the vital role of information technology inmodem society, the University of the Philippines is embarking ona multi-faceted program to strengthen its educational, research, andextension-service efforts in the fields of telecommunications, broadcasting and computers. Our efforts in these areas are coordinatedwith, and in support of, those of the Ministry of Transportation andCommunications and other agencies interested in science and technology.

Since the NEC Corporation is widely known as one of the leading computer and communications companies in the world, the Uni- .verstrv of the Philippines hereby requests for assistance from NECfor the acquisition, installation, and maintenance of telecommunica·

•

tton. broadcasting and computing systems as described in the at... tached concept paper. In addition, a training package for faculty

I members, researchers, operating and maintenance personnel will en

hance the usefulness of the equipment that we are requesting for.We believe that NEC assistance for equipment and training will

significantly improve our ability to provide practical technical ex

posure to our students and staff and will, in turn, be an excellentdemonstration of the state of modern NEC computer and communication technology. Furthermore, through this assistance, collaboration can be initiated between Japanese and Filipino crotessors for teaching and research activities in areas of mutual interest.

We shall be glad to have our technical staff discuss with your

engineers the details of our request. We look forward to your favorable response to our request.

Dear Mr. Cruz:

This has reference to the property of the University located inBaguio City which is the present site of U.P. College Baguio (UPCBl.

The present UPCB site VIlas granted to the University in 1961under Presidential Proclamation No. 207. On February 27, 1974, byvirtue of P.O. No. 396, a portion thereof, particularly that designatedas Parcel II consisting of 26,091 square meters, more or less, wastransferred to the GSIS. Only 5,530 square meters in Parcel II wasretained for the Universirv. The retained area in Parcel 11, however.did not include the present site of the Residence Hall for UPCBstudents. Nonetheless, possession by the UPCB over the premises ofthe Residence Hall has not been disturbed by the GSIS.

The GSIS (Baguio City) Manager has recently called our attention to the plans of the GSIS to develop the area presently occupiedby the Residence Hall, and the ~eed to demolish the Residence Hallto give way to such development. We feel that such a move wouldresult in unnecessary waste of public funds, not to mention the

adverse publicity it would give the Government.

It is for these reasons that we are proposing a swapping of the5,530 square meters in Parcel II retained for the University for alesser area of 4,000 square meters within the same parcel so thatwe wilt retain the present area of the dormitory site. In this connection, we had the area we intend to retain surveyed. A photo-copyof the survey plan is attached for your consideration, The shadedportion is where the residence hall presently stands, while the areabounded by points 14, 15, 16 and 17 consisting of 5,520 squaremeters is the area intended to be swapped in favor of GSIS.

The swapping arrangement will still maintain the contiguity ofthe areas owned by the GSIS. Moreover. we believe that the proposed swapping will not in any way affect the intended purpose forwhich P.O. No. 396 was promulgated.

Thank you very much, and warmest regards.

The Amendatory Agreement, which was confirmed by the U.P.Board of Regents at its 974th meeting on January 22, 1985, involvesa new contract price of 'P5,100,000.00 as against the original contract price of f':2,9'50.000.00.

The U.P. at Los Banosreceived notice of said approval only on October 22, 1984.

When notified of the approval of the construction agreement,however, the Contractor declined to proceed with the work in viewof the abnormal economic conditions which brought about theseveral devaluations of the peso, causing unprecedented increases in

costs of construction materials, including cost of money, labor,equipment utilization and other project-related expenditures. Thus,it became impossible to- the Contractor to undertake the project at

All in all the non-regulars numberabout 2,400 on all campuses.

Your Excellency, in 1984 we were able to meet the financialrequirements through cooperative effort. On the part of U.P. thefollowing were done:

1. Freeze on promotions in the use of vacant items and item, slacks;

2. Intensification of efforts to increase income;3. Pushing hard our cost reduction programs.

On the part of the Office of Budget and Management, the Universitv was given authority to make use of advances from theTreasury to meet personal services requirements. However, suchamounts were good only for one year.

The amount appropriated for 1985 is enough to meet the requirements for regular personnel only.

To maintain standards and pursue development thrusts providedin the Five-Year Development Plan of U.P., the University cannotstifle initiative and creativity by freezing promotions and hi rings allover again.

munications industry of the Philippines. This is especially significant

in view of the following factors:

- implementation of the country's national telecommunicationdevelopment program,

- outflow of trained personnel to overseas jobs,

- necessity for the local development and manufacture of tele-

communications equipment

In particular, NTI will

(a) Provide higher-level training and education to graduateengineers, managers, tralnors, and administrators

(b) Carry out applied research and development activities

in telecommunicationsIc l Provide technical extension services to industry and

government in telecommunications and related fieldsId) Develop instructional and training materials and equip

ment.

In support of the establishment of the NTI, it is urgent that it be

provided with communications equipment as indicated in the project document. The estimated cost of equipment to be acquired

through the grant-in-aid is Y 1,81 0 mill ion.

The acquisition of the communication and broadcasting equip

ment will provide NT! with a working example of modem telecom

munications which will be used by facultv and students. Such use

will be by those majoring in telecommunications as well as the restof the academic community who will thus gain valuable exposure tothe tools and services made possible by communications.

The University of the Philippines is giving the project the highestpriority and the Ministry of Transportation and Communicationsis giving the establishment of the NT! its full support in line withthe manpower requirements of the national t~ecommunications

development program.We would like to request your office to favorably endorse our proposal to the Japanese government through its

Embassy in Manila.

Dear Mr. Manahan:

This refers to your letter of 25 February 1985 requesting thatthe PRRM be allowed to include the name of the University of thePhilippines in the diploma of successful masters of candidates in thegraduate school that you have been operating.

I regret to Inform you that the rules of the University do notallow this arrangement. It is only when there exists a consortiumagreement that the name of the University may be used in connection with the grant of academic degrees. OUf agreement is simply a

technical assistance agreement which does not contemplate a jointdegree program. Furthermore, under the University Charter and itsimplementing rules, candidates for graduation must be recommendedby the college offering the graduate program, passed upon by theUniversity Council and approved by the Board of Regents.

Incidentally, it seems that our agreement has already lapsed. Iwould suggest that a verification and a rectification of such is war

Though it is not officially my function to do so, may I also extend to you my personal welcome and the greetings of the constituencies of the University of the Philippines. It is our hope that youwill bring back to the institutions you represent not only our sentiments but the results of a fruitful conference.

After I received the invitation to deliver the keynote address tothis conference, I asked a colleague in the University what slqnilficance she would attach to this event. She said two things: One, thisis the first national conference on Philippine studies to be held in

the Philippines itself. The two previous conferences were held inKalamazoo. Michigan, and in Honolulu. Two, it appears peculiarthat there is such a thing as Philippine studies at all. The Japanese,for instance, do not sponsor Japanese studies programs, because allstudies are assumed to be Japanese studies. Western universities doas part of their Asian studies programs, but the Japanese do notstudy themselves. The Americans. however, have American studiesprograms. The commonality may be the colonial experience of both

the Philippines and the United States.On her first point. I should like to say a few words.There are unique advantages to holding the conference in the

Philippines. By holding it here, the dialogue is enriched by the c.ontrlbuttons of those who live closer to the object of their investigations adding to an equally acute and trained intelligence, theadva~tages of propinquity. There are nuances a Filipino sch~l~r v:'i11detect that a foreign scholar may miss by studying the Philippine

phenomenon from a great distance. .Of course, the heighte:1ed sensitivity of the ~hort~dls~a~ce

scholar is sometimes paid for by the loss of a certain objecnvttv.

But this is corrected. in this case, by the fact that Philippine stu

dies are undertaken here and abroad, each acting as a corrective to

the other.The second significance she pointed out I find provocative. It

is peculiar, she noted, that there is a Philippine studies at all. TheJapanese do not have a Japanese studies program. All studies inJapan are assumed to be Japanese studies. I find her statement per

plexing.Let me explain. True, all studies in Japan are Japanese. But in

what sense? In the sense of who is engaged in them? Naturally.Japanese do study aspects of Japanese life and culture. much aswe do aspects of our own. But the strongest centers of Japanese

studies are in the United States, and are undertaken by Americanscholars. This, of course, is the point she is trying to make. TheJapanese do not study Japan with the same intensity we do ourown country. What is the reason for this?

Let me suggest an explanation why there are no emphaticallyJapanese studies program in Japan.

When the Japanese study the various aspects of Japanese society, they are studying living realities, phenomena that are experienced and savored by the Japanese, rituals that retain their ancientsignificance for the ordinary man and the scholar alike. Japaneseculture is never discovered by the Japanese with a sense of wonder.He lives it. At best, he wil! describe it for the benefit of foreigners,but he feels no urgency in doing so because whether foreignersunderstand it or not, the culture works for him.

Filipino students of Philippine culture, on the other hand, seemto be engaged in a dual enterprise. On the one hand, they are en-gaged in the discovery of distintivelv Filipino aspects of Philippineculture and in the distortions effected by foreign influences.

On the other hand, they are also engaged in the resuscitation ofthose fragments of distinctive Philippinism that are being chokedin the overlay of modernism and foreign influences. Theirs is notonly the task of discovering, recording and explaining, but gettingaccepted again a moribund past. To a large extent, their enterprise

is a work of resurrection. It is the other side of the coin of patriotism that each holds in his hand.

I understand the reason for this. Unlike other peoples, but likemost ex-colonized, we are still in the process of hammering out anational identity which we feel must be so distinct that we canimmediately note the presence of an exploitative foreign influence.We must find and revive the traits, mores and customs that are sodistinctively Filipino, that anything else will stand out and be exposed as perhaps the tentative inroad of a foreign invasion.

It is like those lines painted on roads in bright yellows and whiteso that any deviation by a car from its proper lane will be immediately noted as a traffic violation.

While I am as wary of foreign intrusion as any other countrymanof mine, I cannot say I feel comfortable with this additional role ofthe Filipino scholar. My own feeling is that it is no part of a scholar'sfunction to re-create and impose upon his people a fragment of adead past that appeals to his sense of. nationalism. If things havedied, there are reasons. The scholar's mission is to note the deathsand make a.post-mortem. But he is not supposed to participate in :the grief. Just lrnaqine the strain on Or. Quincy if his practice offorensic medicine required him, not only to cut and understandthe dead, but also to cry at their funerals.

In brief, I believe that a scholar should not bend his intellect tothe pursuit of a special vision of politics, economics or what-haveyou.

I do not mean that it is impossible or improper for a scholar tobe politically or nationally committed. The French historian MarcBloch, famous for "his study on feudal society, for which he madeno special pleading, also wrote a polemical account of the Frenchdefeat at the outbreak of the last war. I think it is a telling account,made better by Bloch's application of his ccldreescninq to thecauses of his coururv's-deteat \'Vhich he felt so deeply. Bloch wascommitted to a national survival and impressed his pen to theservice of that cause. But in this aspect of his life, he was acting notas a scholar but as a Frenchman. Today Bloch does honor to hiscountry because of his contributions to pure scholarship.

The scholar who would understand his country should keep inmind that his mission is to discover and reveal the truth about it.Without making any assumptions that what is distinctively Filipinois necessarily the best for his country and should be preserved andperpetuated at all cost. The scholar should allow himself only oneassumption: the truth will never harm his country, but, on the contrary, improve it. He must have faith in his people. He must believethat it is only ignorance that keeps them in thrall to poverty andsubjection and not a perverted will. If they only knew their condition, that alone, without any excuses made for them, would setthem off on the road to progress.

Truth, I believe, is a country of its own to which the scholarowes his primary loyalty. We do not have to be afraid that the obtigations of this higher citizenship will conflict with our duties asFilipinos. Never in history has truth ever conflicted with the "trueinterests of apeople.

Thank you.

(Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at the First Quarterly Membership Meeting for 1985 of the Government Association of CertifiedPublic Accountants (GACPA) on 20 February 1985 at Valle Verde,Pasig,)

We live in times of questioning and doubt. Wherever we turn, wehear the integrity and competence of wetl-niqh every institution inthe land, public or private, called into question. As the quantity andquality of public services decline, the price for them that the publicare required to pay increase. Protests over this state of affairs areescalating into action. How long can we go on like this? Trust andconfidence, the social bond that holds any community together forcooperative purposes and common survival is fast disappearing fromour midst. Something must be done and soon. A start must be madeto turn things around before it is too late.

One of the places where a start must be made is inthe accountgovernment makes of its activities, the account of what it has donethat it must periodically give the people. I use the word "account"here in the general sense of description. But the special sense withwhich you are expertly acquainted epptiesparncutertv.

Accounting has been called the language of organizations. Thedata that organizations need to understand their environment andtheir situation, the information they need to plan ahead must beexpressed in accounting terms. Only the science of accountingcan give the coherence to myriad transactions that organizationsengage in. And it is these transactions that are at the heart of thegeneral loss of confidence that afflicts our nation today.

The science of accounting, however, is susceptible to two uses:that of giving order and clarity to transactions, and that of obscuringthem. This is known by the people. The science of accounting is adifficult one to master and it has a jargon of its own. The peopleknow this, too. But they will no longer accept this as a good excuse for the difficulty they have in understanding what is happening to their government, their economy and their country. Theydemand cterttv. they demand the truth. That is why I say that thestart must be made here.Tn the account that government renders ofits performance. The start must be made by you, the accountantsin government.

This demand for truth is not just a passing mood. It is a demandthat will be made by anyone who respects himself as a citizen, whotakes his sovereign role in a democracy seriously. This awareness ofthe respect that is due to the people has been increasing lately. Weshould not deplore this development. It is a favorite theme of experts, of technocrats, to deplore the interference of amateurs intheir specialized fields. Well, however justified the theme may befrom the viewpoint of a technocracy, it has no justification in ademocracy. Regardless of the cost in efficiency, truth must out. It ismore important that the people know and interfere, perhaps ignorantly, than that they are kept in the dark even for their own good.

The whole theory of a democracy is grounded on the belief thatit is the best form of government because it is the only form that

educates people, sharpens their civic consciousness, and makes themtruly involved in shaping their own destinies. It does not matter iftheir ignorance may cause the loss of some economic opportunitythat would be best exploited by a specialized few. What matters isthat they decide for themselves what is to be done with theircountry. The maturity of the race is the paramount consideration.Everything- else serves this end. Considering the primary role ofaccounting as the medium of knowledge for the maturity of ourpeople. It is clear that this end is best served by you.

The demand for the tru th, as I said, is not just a passing mood. Itis an integral part of the Filipino as citizen. I", is inseparable from hisdignity. It is indispensable to his growth. For this reason the demandfinds expression in no less a document than the Constitution.

The Constitution spells it out clearly. The people have an inalienable right to information. That right cannot be diluted to a right toan explanation from the government. The right is not met by givingan interpretation or a general statement. It must be met by clear,unequivocal data about what the government is doing with themonies it collects from its people. It is for the people to decide whatit means. It is for them to detennine whether the performance ofgovernment is good or bad. No one has a right, whatever science hemay have been steeped in, to interpose his opinion between thefacts and the popular mind. The expert may give his opinion, butalways alongside the naked facts. The Constitution spells it outclearly. the people have a right to know.

In the course of your training to be accountants, you were taughtthat the application of your science has one end: to so arrange andexpress the facts with precision as to enable the managers of enterprises and the stockholders who own them to make quality decisions. The whole point of the accounting science is to clarify thesituation in which an enterprise finds itself. In short, to bring outthe truth. The decision as to what should be done about the situation rests with those who would be most affected by that decision;it does not rest with the accountant. When an accountant thereforeuses his science to obscure or conceal the facts, he is in effect makingthe decision that he has no right to make. He is usurping a role thatbelongs to others; the role of deciding that properly devolves onthose who will be most affected by the decision. In the case ofgovernment accountants, they would be usurping the role of thepeople they are sworn to serve.

A democracy means that we have confidence in the people'sintelligence to know and decide what is good for them. It is pessible that this conttoence is misplaced. Perhaps correct decisionsare less likely when made by large groups than when made by one or

, a small group of experts. This is possible. But it is a considerationthat is irrelevant to those who serve in the government of a democracy. For them, the choice is only one: and that is to tell the truthand abide by the people's decision.

In a representative democracy. of COUrse, we qualify this singularduty. We say that under such a government, the people elect representatives and they decide for the people. Th'is is true. But it is alsotrue that in a genuine representative democracy, the representativegovernment should keep the people accurately apprised of whatthey have decided for them and what the consequences have been,and then to abide by the people's decision as to their political fate.Always the irreducible requirement is the truth, the whole truth andat all times.

If the price of total and persevering candor is paralysis in government and disadvantage to the people, that is the people's lookout.The governors and other public officials in a democracy are stewardsof the people's interest; they are shepherds. They lead the peoplewhere the people are inclined to go, advising them now and thenthat the direction in their view is wrong, but ultimately acting withcomplete fidelity to the popular witt.

Your role, as government accountants, in this setup is to apprisethe people constantly of their true situation, Includinq whatever thegovernment may be doing with the resources the peopl~ have entrusted to it. Your constituency is not your department chief, or thechiefs above him, or even the government as a whole. Your consti-wency is the people of the Republic of the Philippines. .

This particular function of giving an accurate accounting of

government transactions has been elevated to constitutional statusby the provision for a Commission On Audit. Every governmentaccountant shares in the honor and distinction that this constitutional provision confers. The honor is not confined to the directmembers of the commission, the duty to give the truth is notrestricted to them. It inheres in everyone who does the work ofaccounting and auditing in government.

The work reviving public trust and confidence must be startedby you, the accountants in government. I am so convinced in thecritical role you play that I can confidently say, if you dischargeyour duties faithfullY,the work will be more than half done. Of themany cliches that time and misuse have robbed of efficacy, there aretwo I finnly believe in: the first is that the truth will out, regardlessof the effort to bury it. The second is that the truth shall make usfree.

Thank you.

(Extemporaneous Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara at theOpening of the ~minar-Workshop on Student Services on 21February 1985 at peED Hostel, V,P., Di/iman.J

If Louie feels that being Dean of Students is like being a prisonwarden or a mother superior. I cannot imagine how students feelabout their positions. 00 they feel that they are prisoners in theirown university? And h some of the survey comments do reveal theopinion of some that the people in the administration are just veryfat, then I don't know exactly what its implications are. I am sure,h?wever, that it is almost comical. But, anyway, I am happy that wecan get together and really focus on one topic, on one aim - andthat is the quality and quantity of student services the Universityof the Philippines delivers in all its campuses.

I think all of us, wherever we are, have looked at the variousaspects of University administration, at faculty salary, at nonteaching staff welfare, at physical development, and practically allaspects - except, perhaps, the level of services that we ought todeliver to our students. That doesn't mean that we are neglectingstudent services. What I am trying to imply is that we ought not totake these things for granted. For, I think, that many of the thingswe fail to deliver or of those which we deliver inadequately arethose which we take for granted. I believe that in the Universitywe ought not to take anything for granted. We must pay attentionto needs or problems, we must constantly monitor them, becauseany problem or need in the University is always endless. There is noproblem that we can say we have solved at one sitting or during aperiod of time. The problems are continuing. So, I think it is goodthat at a workshop like this, we concentrate, we contribute ourideas and share experiences on how to improve the quality and quantity of student services.

I think many of our projects and programs in the Universityalso do not attract enthusiasm precisely because of the belief revealed in the survey comment, that you go into this workshop, youdo this survey and nothing happens. That is true. I th"ink that is alsowhat we ought to watch out for as administrators, as deans, and aspeople who deal directly with students. That we must be constant;we must be consistent; we must follow through. The greatest hurtyou can inflict on a person whom you have made enthusiastic oversomethinq is not to show leadership in the following through of anyproject you pursue.

Now, the second problem, apart from the lack of follow through,is funding. Certainly, funding is always critical. That is at the base ofmany of the problems we encounter in the University. However, Ialso find that as long as there are definite goals and objectives forany program or action which is presented to Central Administration,we somehow manage to raise the funds for it. I think that what anyadministrator would refuse to see is a request for funding whichdoes not state what the funding is for, and what its objectives andintended results are. Teresa Bernabe, our very able and diligentBudget Director, is here. She can tell you that she can raise themoney for any qood program that we can present to her. 23

But that doesn't mean that we have unlimited financing on ourhands. No, we also have to prioritize. But. in the case of studentservices, I hink this is, if not the top priority, one of the highestpriorities we have. And, as louie said, it doesn't really take so muchjust to improve certain services. Sometimes they are as basic as justrepairing a toilet. And yet our students thoroughly appreciate thatsimple gesture of delivering a basic need.

So, to me, student services IS a constant watch, a constant delivery, and the realization that one can never solve a problem of theUniversity at any single sitting, at any single period. Student servicesis a continuing concern. Therefore. the energy, the enthusiasm, thededication in finding solutions must always be there. It must be

constant. So, I also would like to give you the assurance of our constant support. Whatever program for improvement and reform thatyou may come up with, please prioritize them for us and then, letus worry about the fu nding problem. I stress on the need for prioritization because, as I said, our funds are not unlimited.

As a final word, let me just cite what we have done about theregistration problem in Dillman. You will recall that three years ago,one of the pestering problems we encountered in Dillman was thelong queue of students going through their registration. What wedid was to create a committee to study the problem. That committee exists up to now. They constantly study and monitor and/orreview the problems pertaining to registration. While we have notyet found a better system to stop that queueing on the day of regis

tration, I do not hear anymore doubts about and claims of administration not being able to solve this problem. This really shows thata group of our people studying a particular problem, concentrating

on it, following through with the solution, can make wonders, oralmost miracles. Simple miracles but very much appreciated by ourstudents and their parents. We can help alleviate many problems

that afflict or that may beset our Ujtiversitv: particularly, those pertaining to the student services.

Now, the problem evident in the survey comments about thelack of knowledge on the part of students of the existence of serviceoffices, or the kind of services available to them, again, is a verybasic problem. Now, why don't 'the students, in general, even knowwhere the Office of Student Services is? Why don't students, ingeneral, know where our Student Housing Services is? And it is verybasic. In fact, I think we need not go to a workshop to see that thisis a problem. Maybe the solution is very simple. But this illustratesto me, the fact that we, administrators and implementors, may tendreally to take some problems for granted, not realizing that the endusers or consumers, our primary constituents, the students, mayhave a different perception of the kind, quality and quantity of service we deliver to them.

So, I wish you all every success and I hope that out of this workshop, really concrete and tangible recommendations could be made.As they say, "Tell us about the problems, tell us what the objectiveswould be, what the strategy will be and we will worry about thefunding." Thank you and good morning.

(Keynote Speech of President Edgardo J. Angara read for him byExecutive Vice President Oscar M. Alfonso at the First CONVENTION of the Sigma Delta Phi Alumnae Association on 23 February1985, V.P. Alumni Hostel.J

At the outset, let me express my congratulations to the UPSigma Delta Alumnae Association for holding this first ever nationalconvention. I understand this convention is primarily motivated bya desire onyour part to get together and discuss ways of contributingto, in the words of Mrs. Betty Go-Belmonte, "the social uplift of thecountry."

Decidedly, the Sigma Deltens have not been amiss where publicservice is concerned. One needs only to consider the various rolesSigma Deltans like Eva Estrada-Kalaw, Justice Ameurfina MelencioHerrera and Justice Lourdes Peredes-San Diego, among others, haveplayed in national affai rs.

It a study on the status and condition of Filipino women were to

be conducted here right now, and with you all as a representativesample, I am sure the findings would be something like this. That

the Filipino woman of the 80's is highly educated and motivated to

fill expanded and creative roles in public and professional affairs.The researcher would conclude that this woman is unfettered byrestrictive norms and value systems as she balances between domesticfunctions, professional responsibilities and social concerns.

In one of the numerous articles Dr. Irene R. Cortes has writtenabout Filipino women, she said that although women in the Philippines generally have a high standing, this is true only for a smallnumber with educational advantage and with a high sccio-eccncrnicstatus. That the majority of Filipino women do not have the same

standing.Who comprise this majority? The maids and domestic workers

who represent 25% of all working women. The majority of womenin the rural areas, 60% of whom are agricultural workers. Thewomen working in light and medium industries. Even women professionals, who presumably enjoy more privileges than others, yetsuffer inequalities also. Among these are women teachers who comprise 60% of the teaching force. The nurses who comprised 60% ofthe total Phil ippine health force in 1982, and yet earn salaries as lowas :P198.00 a month. Then there are the entertainers and hospitalitygirls. And the women of our cultural minorities.

Much has already been said and written about the conditionsof life and work of these women. Today I would like to talk about

how these conditions have influenced their values. Values in onesense are adaptive responses for su rvival in one's physical and socialenvironments. Thus, values, be they expressed or inferred fromactions, can be guides to social projects which are relevant to theneeds of these women. I believe that awareness of these values canprovide proper direction to your efforts to help your sisters attaintheir aspirations in particular and to be effective agents of socialchange in general.

A 1983 study conducted by five faculty members from the UPCollege of Education attempts to identify the values of a representative sample of 500 women from both central and non-centralcommunities in 10 provinces, from Cagayan to Sulu. It is the firstsocial research to focus on the values of Filipino women of different ethnolinguistic categories throughout the country.

A basic assumption of this study is that the values of women can

be inferred from their cognitions, attitudes and behavior pertainingto their status and roles and from the basic social institutions withwhich their lives are linked to - the family, marriage, church,government, and mass media. Thus their orientations within theeconomic, political, and religious/aesthetic spheres as well as toward

" the use of mass media were treated as value indicators.The findings show that the economic orientations of women

suggest that they value famil y well-being; education of the children;care of elders and parents; a decent life; opportunities for gainfulemployment; saving for emergency and times of need; sharing andharrnonrous relations with others; discipline peace and order; andaccess to a few conveniences.

On the other hand, their political orientations reveal the following values - again, family well-being, peace and order, and the right

to education and to a decent paying job; cooperation and friendliness; adherence to sex-role expectations, especially in the matterof involvement in governmental affairs and issues {this is significant>;sharing of power and responsibility.

Finally, their religious orientations as well as their use of massmedia hint at the following values - again family well-being education, a viable livelihood, and concern for peace and order; the preference for "temporal deprivation on earth ... to obtain rewards inthe afterlife."

I am sure you will notice that there is a predominant concernamong women for viable socio-economic conditions which wouldguarantee, among others, a welt-paying job, education for theirchildren, and security for their family.

The researchers have observed that - "The most frequentlyarticulated value orientations are economic in nature, especially asthey affect the family."

They add that "... it reflects conditions obtaining allover the

country. tThat~ the Filipino family is engaged in a relentless struggle

for survival against rather heavy odds." Viewed in this light, it is notsurprising for us to learn that although the majority of women consider work in the home a priority, they would choose that employment available to them which would augment the family income.What is thought-provoking is the observation that their "economicvalues prevail over religious values"; that they are "more preoccupied with family needs, education and earning a living thanwith religious activities." Many among you at this point may beprompted to ask whether mere survival has become the be all and

end all of existence for the majority of these women. Maybe it isnot yet possible to give a black and white answer, laden with assumptions as the question is.

Let us turn now to the ticklish area of male dominance. The1983 study asserts: "Women may not experience themselves assubordinate, but they are structurally in a subordinate position withrespect to men. They have few political options and even less economic alternatives open to them," This is reflected in their regardfor politics and government as the "domain of men", and in their

generally limited political involvement, mainly voting in electionsand attending rallies. One negative effect of this is that the "acceptance of being... wives and mothers as their primary role and theperformance of duties related to these roles as their major functions,have been incorporated into the consciousness of these women."This leads to the conclusion in the study that the high aspirationsthat women set for themselves will likely be "within the context ofthese roles."

The study concludes that women's spirit of willingness to help,to promote and nurture the family well-being, the yearning for a

peaceful life, and the desire for opportunities to study and work areall potential sources of genuine national development. Moreover,

'the Filipina's struggle for equality should go hand in hand with the

national striving for social reforms.On this note, I would like to end these remarks. But allow me

one last reminder. In all your endeavors to help your country ingeneral, and your countrywomen in particular, always consider whatis valued most by those whom you are helping. Then you will findthat the effort will not solely be yours.

The UP Diamond Jubilee Marker Unveiled

CONTENTS

DECISIONS OF THE BOARDOF REGENTS

976th Meeting, 23 April 1985

THE COVER

On June 18 each year, the University of the Philippinestakes a pause to observe its foundation day.

But this year, as the University turned 77 years old, it hadmore than just g birthday celebration. The University also heldrecognition rites to salute the Diamond Jubilee (OJ) Fund Campaign donors as well as it outstanding faculty, administrators, ernployees, researchers, extension staff and students.

It will be recalled that it was in 1983, the OJ year, that theconcept of philantrophy to the Alma Mater came alive as theUniversity tooked to its graduates for financial support and thelatter enthusiastically responded with pledges and donations. Therecords of the UP Foundation tell just how generous to and concerned UP alumni are for their Alma Marer. While the Universityinitially placed its fundraising target at P75 million, actual pledgeshad overshot to P87.2 million by May 31, 1985.

Some P29 million in redeemed pledges have been investedin high-yielding government securities. The proceeds have gone' tothe establishment of professorial chairs and grants, especiallycreated to bolster the faculty development efforts. The increasein incentives of this sort are viewed as a means to plug the holewhich drains the University's wealth of faculty to other institutionsoutside the academe. Obviously, if more and more full time facultyare lost, the UP tradition of academic excellence cannot be sustained. Such is the 'rationale behind the Diamond Jubilee Fund. Itssuccess gives a degree of security for the Untverstrv future.

Thus, the unveiling of the Diamond Jubilee historical markeron the morning of June 18, 1985 can be vlewed as an act of thanksgiving. Prime Minister Cesar E.A. Virata, Education Minister JaimeC. Laya, and UP President Edgardo J. Angara - the prime moversof the OJ campaign - participated together in the historic unveiling.In a brief program held at Quezon Hall, Dr. Serafin D. Oulazon.National Historical Institute Acting Chairman, turned over to Prestdent Angara the certificate of transfer of the historical marker.

Later that day, the Recognition Day program was held atthe University Gymnasium to honor the outstanding faculty,administrators, employees, researchers, extension staff, students,and student organizations of the University. In the program, thePresident also cited the UPDJ donors, who were given tribute byenlistment into the Order of Oblation. Under the Honor Rollcategory of the Order, were 1,304 donors; 65 under the Dean'sList; 49 under the Chancellor's List; 31 under the President's Listand 50 under the Regent'S List.

June 27,1985MEMORANDUM NO.l0

For your information and action, I am passing on to you thepreliminary results of a survey on faculty workload done bytheMIS Unit on about 900 full-time faculty and more than 200 teeturers in U.P. Diliman in the first semester 011984-85.

I request each autonomous unit to conduct a similar survey,using the same format and type of summary results, during thefirst semester of 1985-86. The results from the four autonomouscampuses will then be tabulated and summarized by the MISUnit. The combined results will then be distributed back to you.

In the preliminary survey in Dittman, only 60% of full-timefaculty and probably a similar percentage of lecturers could beincluded in the survey. I would like to see 100% compliance onthe part of both full-time faculty and lecturers forthe upcomingsurvey. With more interest on our part and better enforcement ofthe rule requiring all faculty members to submit Form 67 or theFaculty Service Record, I think we can achieve this full cornpliance.

I am certain you see the value of the resultsot such a survey,specially if done on a university-wide as opposed to just acampus-wide scale. I request that all summary results be submitted to the MIS office by August 15, 1985. Any specific questions regarding the technicalities involved in the survey may bedirected to the MIS office at the Computer Center BUilding inDiliman.

MESSAGE

Congratulations to the Class '985 of UP College CebuGraduate Studies Division for passing another milestone onthe road to truth and knowledge.

As scholars trained in the universltv you are now obliqatedto "practice the alchemy of transmuting knowledge intowisdom, interpreting facts from the perspective of values, ofsocial philosophy." __._ _..

As citizens possessing the advantage of a UP tramlng,our nation will expect of you initiative and commitment inpublic service. For it is only proper that the .prod~~ts of apublicly financed institution bring to bear their training andintelligence on the solution of.community and social problems.

I trust that you will not let your Alma Mater down.

Sad but true that the abuse on our forests continue despite the awareness that nature's ability to compensate forthe destructiveness of man is not limitless. What are the reasons behind this irrational, almost perverse persistence? Perhaps, greed among those who have the means to translateeach fallen timber into additional profit. Perhaps, expediencyamong those who do not have the inclination to be finickyabout the effects of their activities, industrial or otherwise, onthe earth's water and soil. Or perhaps, desperate necessityamong those whose daily existence is eked out close to theland.

This is truly the generation's challenge and commitment:to rise beyond greed, expediency and desperate necessity bymoving back to that fragile line that separates beneficial exploitation of our natural resources and abusing them.

For the UPLB College of Forestry on it's 75th year, thechallenge is to find more ways to translate its mandate as aninstrument for national development into action. To help allrise beyond greed, 'expediency, and desperate necessity.

The greater part of your life, this far, has been spent ontraining and preparing to be successful in a chosen career.I would not wisp now to define success for you. I wouid onlylike to tetl you that success is a very personal thing. Whenpersonal definition gives it a captivating urgency and appeal tobe realized, then the rules and demands come in. The twocardinal demands, I believe, are time and work. With time youare faced with a given limitation, Immortality not beingpossessed by humanity. Now work is where you can pushoutwards the limits of your capacity and inclination. There, Iwish you luck.

Congratulati-ons. Remember to raise the banner of U.P.wherever you are.

The theme of your convention, "Appropriate Technologyin Health Care Delivery" touches on a recurring question in thehealth professions in a developing country. That is, how toselect from the continuous developments in health caretechniques and technologies in the West those which are relevant to the peculiar needs and conditions of the poor massesin a developing country. Include the economic factor and thequestion becomes even more difficult. All the more, therefore,that you should strive to develop the appropriate techniquesand technologies out of local resources and expertise. May thisconvention be the start for greater efforts in this area amongstyou.

The human being has an enormous capacity for discontent. On the one hand, this attribute,ot man has been the causefor so many positive transformation of the status quo as well asfor progress in every field of human endeavor. On the otherhand, however, his discontent-when it does not have direction-has also been the cause for destructive processes, for himself as well as for society.

So my message is simply that yOU ought to find ways tohelp harness individual as well as collective discontenttowards true national progress. For starters, you should neverbe satisfied with just getting by in your chosen profession.Aim to excell and strive to serve.

All the best.

The performance tonight of the Brigham Young UniversityDancers' Company is a significant contribution to UP's svstem-wide cultural development program under the President'sCommittee on Culture and the Arts. For this, and for your presence tonight, the University of the Philippines is indeed grateful.

It is quite fitting for dance-the art of motion-to moveour cultural program in "leaps and extensions." For the concerts of the BYU Dancers' Company are just the beginning ofmore intensive inter-campus projects for the growth not only ofour own students artists but our student and communityaudiences as well.

As I thank you for being here tonight in support of our cultural efforts, I also welcome you to a most enlightening evening.

I would like to convey my warmest greetings to the delegates to the 5th BieRnial ONAPUP Congerence.

I see your conference theme, "Maximizing Human andOther Resources Towards a More Efficient and Effective University Service," as a signal of your continued commitment tothe University's interests, I acknowledge this signal and commend you for your dedication.

I believe that time and time again the University mustexpress its appreciation for your organization's vital contribution -tothe performances of its functions. This is only properconsidering that ·you take your role seriously and constantlyendeavor to improve on its performance,

I know that from this conference you will return to yourvarious tasks with greater vigor. Congratulations.

I send my heartiest congratulations to the 1985 graduatesof the University of the Philippines Visayas School of Development Management.

The University has striven to guide you in your search torknowledqe and academic excellence. Yet knowledge andacademic excellence alone do not give rise to wisdom. Wisdomis derived mainly from human experience. Exert every effort,therefore, to enrich your lives by engaging in a variety of humanactivities to give your present leaming more meaning. As itwas once said, "Learning is but a part of man's equipment,and a paltry enough part unless wisdom goes along with it."

God speed and success to each of you!

I send my warmest greetings to the athletes, team officials, and participating schools on the occasion of the openingceremonies of the 1985 season of the UAAP.

More than an opportunity to demonstrate the athleticprowess of each school, college athletics contribute to thewell-rounded development of the student. The subject matterof education is too broad to be confined to the classroom.I believe that lessons can be learned in the playing fields too,such as teamwork and the value of undivided commitmentto a certain goal. Both may be abstractions elsewhere, but inthe athletic realm their positive values acquire a vivid expression.

May the participating schools grow in the awareness thatsports may serve as one form of education. To the athletes,may the best win.

The 'past two decades wherein you grow up will be seenas a period of great and fundamental issues severely challenging the thinking and attitudes of men and nations. Nuclear useand misuse; international debt crisis; political repression;moral decadence; refugees; African famines; internationaltrade and tariff problems; inter-regional wars; new international information order, human rights; etc. The list is dangerously long enough to breed cynicism, if not a broodinghelplessness and to foster a me-against-all-else attitude.

I consider it of utmost importance for our youth, of whichyou represent the best" and brightest, not to lose their equanimity in the face of the challenging milieu. Rational thoughtaided by compassion and empathy will help you to deal withlife's problems.

So, with my congratulations, comes the wish that yousucceed.

It IS always heartwarming to we lome alumni who return tothe Alma Mat~r, even if only for a short visit. We enjoy hearingof your expene.nces as well as take pride in seeing your continued growth, Intellectually, emotionally, and professionally.

Welcome back to the University!

Estimates for the Capital Outtay requirement is about1'61,500,000. It is expected that those projects started in 1963can be compJeted while new ones are initiated in 1986.

Y~ur kind consideration of this request will be highlyappreciated.

Thank you very much.

Very truly yours,

Tne inauguration of Sining Makiling is a heartening development in the UP at Los Banos. It will serve as a showcasefor the arts in a community often seen as being solely preoccupied with science and technology.

Although the development of an appreciation for and thecap~~ity to create art is not an overnight process, I hope SiningMakiling would help hasten it.

I congratulate the UPLB Cultural Affairs Committee for at~~rou.ghly c.ommendable project. To the guests, and the parttcipatinq artists, my warmest greetings.

Congratulations to the 1985 graduates of the Departmentof Zoology.

You gra~uate at a time when education is increasinglybec~m~ng a luxury for large masses of our people. Averagefamily Incomes are stretched by the rising costs of educationon the one hand, and the soaring cost of other necessitieson the other. The situation invites the unpleasant prospect of111iteracy among the less fortunate becoming widespread intime.

You, who are more fortunate, therefore owe it to our peopie to use your knowledge and skills in contributing to nationalrecovery. I urge you to think up concrete ways to fulfill thisresponsibility.

Good luck.

Dear Minister Hipolito:

I am happy to recommend for your support and inclusionin the Infrastructure Program of the Ministry of Public Worksand Highways, beginning CY 1986, the Infrastructure Programof the University of the Philippines in the Visayas (UPV). Notonly is the UPV constructing buildings for the College of Fiattertes under the World Bank·assisted Fisheries EducationProject, but it also wishes to construct buildings lor admlntstration and other school as well as to provide adequate watersupply and distribution facilities for its constituencies.

This long range infrastructure program reflects the qradual growth of the UPV. The construction of these projects shallbe done phase by phase, until the entire complex is completed

in 1990.

Dear Mesdames Enriquez & Aboitiz:

The University of the Philippines is in the process of establishing a series of professorial chairs in honor of the past Presidents of the Republic. In this connection, we are seeking yoursupport and cooperation in the endowment of the "PresidentSergio Osmelia Professorial Chair."

The "Presidential Series" is envisioned to be held onlyby full professors who have reached the acme of their careersand have distinguished themselves in teaching and researchin their respective fields. It should carry with it more than theusual honoraria to the professorial chair holders.

Currently, the cost of supporting a professorial chair isP150,OOO. The Presidential Series, if it is to give larger support,would require at least P200,OOO endowment fund.

May we count on your help? You would be in the bestposition to taprelatives. friends and admirers of the late Prestdent osmcna, who Jam sure, will be only too willing to honor

him in this manner.Warmest regards.

Honorable Francisco Tantuico, Jr.ChairmanCommission on AuditDon Mariano Marcos AvenueDiliman, Quezon City

Dear Chairman Tantuico:

We are sending you a status report of the Commission

Ion Audit endowments for the support of professorial chairsin the University of the Philippines administered by the U.P.Foundation, Inc. as of December 1984.

.We noted with concern your observation in the reportof tne State Accounting and Auditing Center ISAAC) "that theprofessorial chair program last year was a very inactive one",and we looked into the matter for some possible explanation.We submit the following for your consideration.

One of the practical difficulties about the professorialchairs is that the fielg of inquiry is limited to subjects whichare of immediate concern to the Commission on Audit. Thiseffectively narrows the subjects of the professorial chair lectures. Professorial chairholders who are selected for theirexpertise and broad range of knowledge in specific or relatedareas of discipline might wish to have some flexibility in thechoice of topics for their annual lectures.

In addition, it will be noted, that there is no single management mechanism for the COA endowments and they are subject to different conditions and stipulations. The differences inthe conditions could discourage the acceptance of thoseprofessorial chairs which are less favorably endowed.

To overcome these difficulties, we offer the following concrete suggestions:

1. All professorial chairs should be established undeibaslcally uniform rules of the university.

2. A single system-wide management mechanism shouldbe set up for the entire endowment. In this way, theaward of the professorial chairs could be systematized.

3. More flexibility should be observed in the appointmentto the chairs as well as the choice of the subject ofthe annual lectures.

4. If the need for technical studies on subjects of specificinterest to the COA is recognized, a commissionedresearch could be set up.

These suggestions would, of course, entail the modification of our present agreements. Your comments on the subjectwould be most welcome.

With cordial regards.

Our visit was highly successful as it provided an excellentopportunity to observe at first hand, some of the institutions ofhigher learning and research centers in India. Please accept,once again, our thanks and appreciation for the invitation to theConference of Vice-Chancellors for Asia and the Pacific(COVAP) and lor the excellently arranged visits to differentuniversities and research institutions as well as places of historic interest. Our visits to Agra and Jaipur provided us aglimpse of India's rich historic legacy.

The proceedings of the COVAP, particularly the presentations of the Indian Vice-Chancellors, were highly instructive.It provided a panoramic view of the problems and prospects ofuniversity education in India.

Our visits to different universities and research institutions and exchange of views with their officials and facultiesunderscored the commonality of the problems in higher educa-

on, and the need of developing better communication andcontacts to initiate meaningful cooperation between Philippine and Indian universities. We were pleased to find a greatdeal of goodwill and eagerness on the part of our Indian hoststo enter into mutually beneficial relations.

We recognize the tremendous proqress made by India inits university education and advanced research in variousfields in acience and technology. The University of the Phlllppines (UP) can benefit a great deal from the Indian experiencethrough academic exchange programs, including short termtraining and observation tours, joint research ventures amongscholars and academicians as well as exchange of scientificinformation and publications.'

There are a great many areas wherein the University of thePhilippines can enter into fruitful cooperation with some of theIndian universities. However, we plan to start on a modestscale, thus allowinq these relations to expand gradually overtime. We have thus identified a few specific fields in which webelieve India has better facilities and trained manpower and the[Jniversity of the Philippines can benefit from these exchanges.

sntatively. subject to further discussions and exchange ofinformation, the specific areas are identified as follows:

Engineering: Water resources and hydrology, earthquakeengineering, biogas and gasifier.

Agriculture: Seed technology. water management, cropproduction (agronomy, horticulture and farmingsystems), reproductive physiology of ruminants anddairy husbandry.

Asian and or International Studies: ThE;! development ofcontemporary Indian Studies Program in the University of the Philippines-which may include areas suchas history, society and culture, politics, economicsand training of Filipino students and teachers inHindi and or other Indian languages.

Archival Studies: training in management techniques andconservation of archival materials.

We wish to thank you for your leiter dated March 22. 1985in answer to our letter dated 3 September 1984 requesting somechanges in the provisions of PLTL NO.3.

Although we are glad that the Minister has clarified theprovisions on the annual allowable cut and has advised us thatour request fora 6·year term for PLTL No.3 is being evaluated,we are disheartened by the denial of our other requests,namely: the lirnltation in clearcutting certain areas beyond 16%slope and our exemption from the payment of administrativefees_

We wish to appeal for reconsideration' on the Minister'sunfavorable decision in above matters for the following reasons:

1) Clearcutting of areas above 18% slope: The e-vear development plan for the UPS land grant areas, approvedby President Ferdinand E. Marcos, envisions the harvesting of logs from the land grant to generate fundsto develop industrial tree plantations (lTP), fruit orchards, abaca plantations and vegetable gardens. Areduction therefore on the quantity of logs harvestedfrom the areas will reduce availablefunds for plantationestablishment. For your information, around 40% of theITP areas (roughly 800 has.) are over 18% in slope.

In view of the Minister's apprehensions of the possible erosion of the soil in these areas, we are proposingto harvest logs in slopes over 18% and undertake soilconservation measures, such as:a) areas to be cut shall be made in coupes of not more

than 100 hectares provided adequate natural forestvegetation exists between coupes. Adjoining coupesshall not be logged within one year. At least 20healthy residuals per hectare, uniformly distributedover the area, shall be left undamaged.

b) adequate natural forest cover along critical drainage systems and other portions most susceptible to10 accelerated soil erosion and landslide shall bemaintained.

c) reforestation within six (6) months from completionof log extraction activity shall be undertaken.

2) Administrative Fees: Although the Minister has allowedthe UPS to pay the license fee on instalment/staggeredbasis, we still believe that the payment of 11585,000in the form of application fee (tt450,000) and license fee

(~135,OOO) is unrealistic. We believe that the collectionof application and license fees are meant to reimbursegovernment for expenses in connection with the lnvestigation and licensing to cut trees in rmvate land. Wecannot see MNRJBFD spending 11585,000 in one yearin the performance of such functions. Furthermore,we believe that since these fees are promulgated underan MNR Administrative Order, the Minister may reducepayment of these fees, if not, totally waive payment.

Considering that the UPS is a government agencytryfng to develop an agm-forestry complex to glve additional income to the University in the future, it is requested that the Minister considers the reduction 01fees to a reasonable fixed amount of say, "10,000 asapplication fee and a license fee of pgO,OOO or PLOD percu. m. of annual allowable cut. These amounts shouldreimburse MNRIBFD expenses in implementing PLTLNo.3.

We hope that with the above explanation the Minister willgrant UPS' request and make UPS a beneficiary of the Minister's action.

SPEECHES

Speech ot President Edgardo J. Angara duringthe Commencement Exercises at U.P. Clark Air Base

on 19 April 1985

I congratulate the members of Class '85. You deservegenuine admiration for your unswerving resolve and dedication to obtaining a college education in spite of the press ofmilitary duties. We in the University take pleasure in helpingyou achieve your ambition.

It is not my practice to rnereiy go through the motions inany address, and this afternoon will not be an exemption. Letme first assure everyone here, as well as those in other units ofthe University of the Philippines, that we have no illusionsabout the weaknesses of the University nor of its problems.We are deeply concerned about them and are trying our best tocorrect them.

These problems are many and varied, some involvingacademic standards, student discipline, others involving management anotlnances. Still others are specific to the unit, suchas those U.P. faces here at Clark. They are problems that havearisen in the course of many changes that have occurred in thePhilippines. These rapid changes are. however, felt more keenlybecause they occur in the context of University tradition. TheUniversity has long gained the respect and recognition ofacademic circles here and abroad for quality education. TheUniversity, however, realizes that it cannot merely fall backupon its reputation. It knows that it must constantly strive tomaintain a-nd improve its standards and produce even bettergraduates. ~

This is a commitment we impose upon ourselves'not onlybecause of the tradition and mission of a University. We takethe University's role in national development quite seriouslyfor many good reasons, foremost of which is the clear awareness that the University is the largest public institution ofhigher learning that the Filipino people and their taxes support generously. In a Third World country, the University as anational resource has the ineluctable role in and responsibilityfor national development. It is therefore not just ceremony but,out of conviction when we ask each V.P. graduate to use theskills and the knowledge he has acquired in the University inthe service of the nation.

The University of course cannot ask its U.P. Clark graduates for the same commitment. Many of you are committed toyour own country, culture and values. Your society has differentconcerns, different problems and different qoats. The lives youenvision for yourselves you will be livinq in the relativeplacidity of a society likely to remain stable for many years tocome. Your loyalties and your commitments are, naturallyenough, to the society from which you sprang, to which youwill return, and in which you will live out your lives. Therefore,the University cannot demand of you the commitment to itspurposes it has the right to demand of those who, by necessity or choice, must live in thls society.

This brings me to the main theme of this address. And thatis the relevance of the University branch in a military reservation.

It is my conviction-and it is a conviction shared by manyof our academics and admlnistrators-c-that the continuedexistence of a University branch in Clark serves no more rete,vant purpose. The past circumstances which justified its estab·lishment no longer hold true today.

U.P. Clark was established in 1953 upon Gen. Jessum'srequest to then President Vidal Tan, for help in filling the educational needs of U.S. servicemen whose education had beeninterrupted by World War II and the outbreak of hostilities inKorea. Since there was no other higher educational institutionwithin the Baseor anywhere near it, the University granted therequest and established a branch at Clark.

While the years past may not have lessened the need anddesire for higher education amongst many base transients andresidents, there are now other educational institutions withinthe Base which can fill any void left by a phaseout of U.P.Clark.

There is an equally important intervening factor. Since theUniversity branch was established in Clark in 1953, the University has created another extension in San Fernando, only 15kilometers away. The University is more than glad and willingto continue providing the same services there which are currently being delivered by U.P. Clark. And we most likely couldimprove on those educational services, once we consolidatethe human resources and material that are now divided between these two neighboring branches.

•Are there then no advantages to the establishment and

continued operation of U.P.Clark?undentaolv, the establishment of the Clark branch in 1953

provided the University with a unique opportunity to give substance to its charter that the University has no nationality. Thatmandate had two practical consequences. First. that admission to the. University of the Philippines is open toall, regardless of sex, social status, creed, ethnic origin or citizenshlp.Second, that it disseminates knowledge representing "the bestof human achievements, regardless of its ethnic or geographiccriqin." Indeed, the U.P. has remained faithful to this dictum,following the grand tradition of the "multi-national character"of early universities such as Bologna and Notre Dame deParis-the recognition that, as Basil Fletcher puts it, "truthknows no frontier of nationality or race." This dictum did notconflict with, and indeed served to encourage, theestablishment of U.P. Clark in 1953.

The day-to-day contacts between students and facultyfrom at least two different cultural backgrounds within U.P.Clark have been seen as opportunities for 'high-level cultural

•relationship and exchange." While the purpose of U.P. Clark is

I not to transmit either Phillpplne or American culture andvalues, understanding and knowledge of both among itsstu-dents is truly necessary for harmonious, productive andmutually respectful relations between the two peoples.

The Clark Air Base community has shown its interest inlearning about the culture and values 'of the host society. Iunderstand that the U.S. Armed Forces has developed crosscultural orientation programs to enable its servicemen to workand live more meaningfully abroad. These proqrams includethat developed by Wright Patterson, base psychologist in the60s, and that developed by the American Institute for Research(AIR) for the Army. I do not know if they still exist, but they are aform of recognition that successful living abroad requirescultural awareness, and that an understanding of culturaldifferences makes for less chances for conflict and animosity.

While there is undeniable truth in all these, I believe, however, that the need for. understanding about Philippine cultureand values amongst Clark residents and transients cannot beadequately and effectively satisfied in a campus inside amilitary base. The proper understanding of Philippine cul,tureand values can best be developed off-base, in a Philippinesetting itself. Unless they immerse themselves in Philippineacademic life, U.P. Clark students cannot hope to acquire amore than superficial-even a distorted-knowledge of the differences between themselves and Filipinos: The artificiality ofthe Filipino-American encounter at U.P. Clark indeed tends. I

suspect, to encourage a kind of mutual misunderstanding ofeach other's values and culture, and to strengthen the stereotypes of the "superficial" American and the "colonial Filipino"whose purpose in life is to obtain a U.S.visa. We can certainlydo without these stereotypical biases and the irritants theycreate. The encounter between Filipinos and Americans hasnot always been, I am afraid, pleasant at Clark. There is certainly·no need to preserve the circumstances that contribute to theunpleasantness.

The U.P. Clark experience-a University within a militarybase-also highlights the inherent tension resultinq from thediscipline demanded by academic study and scholarship, onone hand, and the pressing requirements, of military duties onthe other. A military base, after all, has special needs which donot make for the most ideal atmosphere for the academic life.There is no lack of reminders to the academic community,for example, that its presence in the base is only incidental tothe military mission. Military duties are not like holidays whichyou can plot in a school calendar with consideration for theleast possible disruption of classes. The loyalty of a serviceman, unlike that of other students, is, first and foremost, to thegoals or mission of his unit. To paraphrase Gen. MacArthur,all other considerations in a soldier's profession are corollaryto the military mission, The faculty, as.a consequence, cannotdeliver their best in classrooms where they are ever aware thattheir students are largely from an organization whose leadership is not so much concerned with the benefits of educationto their members as individuals as with its benefits, to theirmilitary mission and functions. At the height of military-sponsored training programs in the 1940s, collegiate circles inAmerica began 'asking whether such programs wouldcontribute to the decline of the liberal arts. The military, inresponse, stressed that the "test of any training program waswhether the product could perform well in the field of hisspecialization, not whether it prepared a man for intellectualfreedom." This viewpoint, I might point out, is in conflict with aUniversity's primary concern.

The question of the relevance of U.P. Clark assumes further significance when considered in light of the financial constraints facing a publicly-supported University. The Universityof ttie Philippines is sustained by the taxes of Filipinos. OurDiamond Jubilee Fund campaign highlighted the need to arrestthe deterioration, of University libraries, laboratories andphysical plants and the loss of faculty expertise to private andother public agencies. If these circumstances made us realizethat a secondary resource base had to be created to supportfaculty and staff development, they also stressed the need for aless wieldy and less costly system. The rapid expansion andthe post-war years has given rise to tremendous problems inthe utilization of UfIiversity resources, human and otherwise.In view of this, we started in 1961 a system-wide review of theUniversity'S organizational structure and its curricularprograms. One of the ad hoc bodies created for the processwas the Committee to Review Academic Programs.

Among other tasks, the Committee was charged with reviewing the academic programs of the University and recommending which should continue. As you very well know, theCommittee recommended the abolition of the academic programs in, and the phase-out of, U.P. Clark. I have alreadytouched on some of the justifications for this recommendation.Allow me to cite just one more.

The discussions on the Committee recommendation forthe phaseout of. U.P. Clark brought out an outstanding predicament of our taculty who are assigned here. The fact that wedo not have a ~lj"fficient number of faculty members in residence 'In the Base area means that we have a faculty ofcommuters. To have our faculty travel all the way from Dittmanto Clark, with all the inconvenience of traffic and a long drive:,isto stretch the Ifmits of their endurance. This peculiar arrangement has resulted in the loss of time and opportunities for theirinvolvement in activities tn Dillman needed for their protes

I believe that the stability of the University as an institutionis fundamentally a function of its constant affirmation of validtraditions as well as its capacity to adjust to new situations,The Univerity leadership cannot but act under these considerations.

It appears, given this peculiar situation, that you doublydeserve congratulations. Not only have you had to deal with thenormal demands of college; you also have had to adjust to theextraordinary circumstances the un lque character of U.P. Clarkhas created.

THE URGENCY OF APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE PLANNINGIN PHILIPPINE EDUCATION

(f«Keynote Address of President Edgardo J. Angara rrmd for him 7

by Executive Vice President Oscar M. Alfonso at the FifthP, Philippine Linguistics Congress on 20 May 1985, V,P. Faculty y

Center Conference Hall.J,

A persistent problem of education in t~e Philippines. likeits chronic lack of funds, is the language issue. The orobtern,simply stated, is this: what should be the medium of instruction in Philippine education, English or Pilipino?

Posed in that way, the problem may be said to have startedwhen the Americans implanted in our country their system ofeducation based on the use of English as the sole medium ofinstruction from first grade to university level. Before theAmericans came there was no problem. The medium of instruction was Spanish. If there was a problem, it was a problem ofwho, among the native population, could avail themselves of it.After the revolution and the conquest of the Philippines by animperial democracy. the problem of the language of instructionarose. The Filipinos were free and not-free. They were free toquestion the choice of the language of instruction, but theywere not free to answer the question lor themselves. The problem came into full flower with independence in 1-946.

Since the turn of the century. three language policies havebeen adopted for our schools. The first language policy, as Imentioned earlier, was instituted by the Americans who madeEnglish the exclusive medium of instruction for all levels ofeducation. This policy encountered strong opposition, as theMonroe Survey of 1925 seems to indicate. Despite such opposition. however. the policy remained in force for more than 50years. It was changed in 1957,a decade after our independence.

The new policy provided for the use of the local vernacularas medium of instruction in Grades I and II, with English remain ing the sale medium of instruction in the upper levels.

In 1973, the present bilingual policy was adopted and thiswas implemented in the following year. This bilingual policy,which fueled instead 01 dampened the fires of controversy.provides for the use of English and Pilipino as separate mediaof instruction in our schools from elementary to universitylevel. Pilipino is the designated medium 01 instruction forthose subjects having to do with the formation of individualand national character: social studies. social science, character education, work education. health education and physicaleducation. English is the designated medium of instruction forthe "hard" sciences, so to speak. and mathematics.

It is surprising that the bilingual policy provoked stronghostile reactions even before its adoption, growing strongerthereafter up to the present. And the hostility comes from bothcamps in the controversy. It is surprising because the policyseems to answer the respective arguments for the opposingsides of the controversy. The provision of English as themedium tor the "hard" subjects, the subjects having to do withtechnological development, addresses itself to the arqurnentthat the pace of world economic development is so fast wecannot afford to experiment with a new medium of instructionfor SUbjects thai are changing almost daily. The pace of pro-

gress in the sciences is such that we cannot afford to pause,however briefly, to translate the accepted wisdom and teach itin the vernacular. The provision of Pilipino for the socialsciences is addressed to the valid concern that we cannotafford to expose fledgling minds to the insidiously colonizinginfluence of a foreign tongue. In spite of all this, neither side issatisfied.

The proponents of English point to the clear decline inPhilippine educational standards and in the quality of its grad·uates and put the blame squarely on what they say is theunwelcome requirement of having to learn Pilipino in school.Implicit in their argument is the view that mastery of a singletongue is difficult enough to attain for the vast-majority thatadding a second language is no help. And if one language mustbe adopted, then it should be English-the language of theworld. the language 01 progress and power. Because of Pltplno.the Filipinos' grasp of English has become uncertain. and,since we think with words. their intellectual processes havesuffered as a consequence.

The proponents of English further argue: if we adoptPlliplno, what will we teach? There is no native fund of highlearning, certainly none involving the hard sciences. If we musttranslate English materials, then a Pllipino policy puts us twiceremoved from what we must learn to survive and progress as anation and as individuals.

Furthermore, it would appear. that the bilingual policy, by ~

weakening the average Filipino's grasp of English, will have undemocratic consequences. Mastery of English will shrinkamong the population to the elite who can afford to educatetheir offspring in English schools both here and abroad, givingthem a virtual monopoly of high learning, thereby further lncreasing their social power.

The proponents of Pilipino as medium of instruction in ourschools are equally unsatisfied with the bilingual policy. It isnot enough, they say. Pilipino should be extended as themedium for teaching even the hard sciences. Regardless of thesuperiority of English to convey learning, and regardless of thewealth of knowledge stored in that language, the lact is that 10rthe vast majority of Filipinos, ail this learning is a closed book.Four generations of English language instruction has notopened its plenitude to them. What it has done is to open thebook to the elite, Who have the means. to learn any languageand acquire any kind of education. ThUS, for the vast majority,English is not a convenience to learning but a barrier.

The proponents of Pilipino also claim that English makesFilipinos un-original and un-creative; its use stunts their'distinct cultural development. English lends itself to express,ing only those nuances that the language is capable of bring'ing out in native-born English speakers. English is alive to thenuances of Anqlo-Arnericans, but it is a dull instrument toprobe the Filipino psyche and to tap the Filipino genius. It isclear that they will settle for nothing less than the universaluse of Pilipino as the medium of instruction in Philippineeducation.

This Congress is part of the continuing effort to resolvethe controversy and settle at last upon a definitive languagepolicy that will have the wholehearted support of the Filipinopeople. This is its mission. The final policy must be as universally acceptable as possible because no language will takeroot and be used unless this measure of consensus is achieved.Anything less will make that language as vibrant a part of ournational life as Latin. I wish you all therefore every success inyour endeavor~

University of the Philippines at Los Banoson 15 April 1985.

You have worked hard to realize this moment in your livesby acquiring beth knowledge and skills. You have preparedyourselves lor the many challenges that each of you will needto face in the course of your individual careers and in theexercise of responsible citizenship. It is therefore only fittingthat, having thus labored, and having thus emerged from yourlabors equipped with the appropriate skills, we sincerely congratulate you and wish you well.

Every graduating class represents, for society, an investment as well as a commitment. When you first came to the University, we sought to impart to you skills, knowledge, vision,dedication. The Filipino people invested much in you in theirdetermination to help you acquire these valuable attributes.They expect as we in the University do, that this investment willbe at least partially returned, in terms of your utilizing the skillsyou have acquired to help the Filipino people in their economicprogress.

At the same time, you represent the intellectual reservesthat the country can draw from to assure some continuityacross generations in terms of purpose, values and ideals.lOU assure, together with some four thousand others in other.nits of the University who are going through these same grad

uation rites, our society's intellectual succession.For this, essentially, is what every graduating class is: a

reserve not only of skills and knowledge but also of thosevalues and ideals we all have come to realize as indispensableto human civilization. These are the values and ideals that wehope the University has passed on to you, which you willcherish and nurture throughout your lives. We hope that youwill be responsible rather than selfish, dedicated to the socialgood rather than to your individual interests-possessed of asocial conscience in the profoundest sense.

It is specially important that we remind ourselves of this:that a precondition to true education is a commitment to certain values and certain ideals. And, this reminder is speciallyimportant in these times, when there is a discernible decay ofthe Filipino spirit that threatens to defeat our historic quest fora society of justice and peace and prosperity.

We are faced, indeed, by an ethical and spiritual crisesthat manifests itself in the elevation of selfishness and dis- -mesty to the level of virtue. Unless we face up to it now, it will

destroy our society far more effectively than any form of dissidence or rebellion. Our nation's unity, as a consequence, ismarred by violence and injustice, misery and despair, in turnfanned by greed Which threatens to bring the country to a stateof ruin.

Our own University has not been completely immune fromthis ethical crisis. We must always be vigilant and ever alertthat no ethical malpractice shall rear its ugly head in the University. If it did; it may infect only a few but a single instance ofethical infraction by one who presumes to mold adolescentminds, is wholly unaccepted. There are those among us whosay that these forms of unethical conduct are mere echoes ofthe times and unavoidable in the University because the University cannot but mirror what goes on in society.

The University, so the argument goes, is part of societyand cannot escape it. The corruption in the larger society theUniversity therefore cannot escape. Any effort to keep the University above it is quixotic and doomed to failure.

We must reject the implied urging of this argument forus to acquiesce in the notion that the University is but a merereflection of society. We must reject the flabby ethical indifference of this argument as injurious to the University and thenation.

For the University cannot afford to serve as a mere mirrorreflecting the ills of its society. It must be first and last, a perceiving and transforming force in it. This means that the Uni·verslty must rise above the ethical crisis of our times and mustimpose upon itself the discipline of its clear commitments tolearning, scholarship and culture. And these commitments willbe no commitments at all unless they rest on a foundation ofmoral authority.

The moral authority of the University is one and indivisibleand it springs from the intellectual integrity of those who teachas well as those who administer the attairs of the University.Any diminution of this moral leadership in the eyes of studentslessens our collective ability to instill in them the values weidealize. It takes all the combined efforts of all to build anacademic institution to a position of honor. It does not requiremuch effort to tarnish it.

As graduates of the University, you car. help strengthenthe University by keeping alive the spirit of inquiry and exercising intellectual honesty. These two attributes are the mostimportant part of your U.P. heritage. And you will soon discoverthat together they are, especially at this crucial time, the ultimate virtues that make for a successful career and goodcitizenship.

MESSAGE the spirit of communiy sharing among its members even as ipursues academic excellence and welt-roundedness,

I would like to extend special greetings 10 the UP JuniorFinance Association, and its guests during this concert of ZsaZsa Padilla and Hay-An Fuentes.

Your organization's periodic fund-raisinq projects, such asthis concert. are truly commendable because a portion of eachproject's proceeds is always earmarked for a worthy cause.In Ihis case, I understand that the Aming Damay at Tulong wiltstand to benefit. Tonight's concert then deserves everysuccess and I will be the first to wish it for you.

.1 do hope your organization would continue to nurture

Special qreennqs to the UP ROTC Class 01 1960 on theoccasion of its Silver Jubilee Homecoming.

Essential to the wellbeing of the State is the resolutedetermination of its armed forces to fight for its preservationand its integrity. I happen to believe that this is one kind 01 fightwhich would be aelt-defeatlnq were it to be confined solely tothe level of pitting physical strength and material against thoseof a hostile camp. History has shown that the soldier's valourand intrepidity in the sphere of civic service is just as effectivefor the attainment of military objectives.

1 would like to think that your trainlnq here in UP not somany years ago imbued you with that intelligent patriotismwhich is expresspc not only in combat but in compassionateservice to the people as well. I wish you meaningful rellectionson your homecoming.

I extend my warmest congratulations to the U.P. ChineseStudents Association for its enterprise in sponsoring theChinese Pop Concert to raise funds for the Bon Liam Charit~

Clinic.Sharing one's time and talent with his fellowmen is part

of the University tradition of public service.I wish the Association success in this concert as well eajn

Your educational sojourn here in the Philippines gave yousome opportunities to learn about and, hopefully, appreciatethe rich cultural background of your parents. Always rememberthat the Filipino culture is a part of your heritage too, despiteyour upbringing as citizens of another land.

I extend my heartiest congratulations to the UPZooloqlcal :Society for sponsoring the invitational premiere 01 "Birdy," thewinner of the 1985Cannes Film Festival Golden Palms Award.

I understand that the proceeds from this project will go tosupport your Society'S activities and goals, ranging from seminars and researches to free community clinics and a scholarship fund for needy students. I congratulate you for your high·minded ness and sense of civic spirit.

Special greetings to the UP Delta lambd~ Sigma Sorority.A look at the history of the Delta Lambdans would reveal

the story of years of constantly giving concrete expression to'the ideals of civic service and social responsibility so reverredin the University. The spirit. for instance, behind its sponsorship of "Munting Tanglew" is the same spirit that had animatedall its past projects and activities. I believe that it is from thisconstancy of purpose that the Sorority derives its ch~racteristic

It is my pleasure to send special greetings to the NewJersey-New .York Chapter of the UP Medical Alumni Societyin America on the occasion of its Third Annual Dinner Dance.

Because of the great distance and the fact that the doingsin your Alma Mater are inconsequential to your daily lives there,now, it would not be too difficult for one to assume that theUniversity has no place in your minds. I have long since ceasedto believe this to be true. My experience has been that the UPalumni in America are one of the most loyal alumni everywhere. j-The University has not forgotlen and will never forget the out-:pouring of material support beside the goodWill that youshowed during its Diamond Jubilee a few years back.

PresidentI extend my heartiest congratulations to the UP Chemical

Engineering Society for its successful celebration of theChemical Engineering Week 1985.

The closer links between engineering colleges and privateindustry these days stem in part from previous experience withgraduates Wh~. well-versed in formulae and theory, wererelatively inept ln practical problem-solving tasks in the workplace. These linkages wi II help schools in fine-tuning thetraining of enqineerlnq students to be relevant to the needs ofindustry. The acquisition of practical skills, however, must becomplemented by the development of capacities for resourcefulness and innovativeness.

By providing venues for the latter, the Chemical Enqtneering Society has been of great benefit to its members.

All the best,

Congratulations to the Industrial Engineering Club forsponsoring this movie premiere of "Cocoon." I

. Year after year. I have always observed your conscien-:tiousness in trying to be self-reliant. This attitude goes along:well with the independence Which the University tries to incul- .cate in its studentry. But I am even more heartened by the way,you make your projects into opportunities for doing good. I

In this instance, I congratulate you for making the National'Orthopedic Hospital's Rehabilitation Department as your major.beneficiary.

I extend my heartiest congratulations 10 the UP IBALONfor sponsoring the "Padunungan," an annual quiz show parttctpated in by high school students in the Btcol region. I under·lstand that, in addition to the quiz show, there will also be otheractivities like career talks and lectures under the broad theme,"Towards a Relevant Reorientation of Philippine education."

The issue of relevance in education has always been thesubject of countless discussions here in the University andelsewhere. Perhaps, you can initiate your young fellowBicclancs into the discussions. With an awareness of thepresent questions about Philippine education, they may beable to evaluate the kind of education they are getting now andin the future.

Finally, the "Padunungan" e.... inces the kind of outreach :orientation that I would like to see among more University

Special greetings to the UP Vanguard on the occasion oftheir annual Homecoming and Convention .

In this era of specialization, there is a tendency of seeingthe individual solely in terms of and in reference to hisparticular profession or vocation. This ready classi Iication maybe convenient for some but it tends to blur the idea of commonality, of men being citizens first and foremost. Despite theparticular concerns and interests of their respective professions, there is ahigher loyalty to the nation.

By being examplars of upright service and protesstcn.ausrn, the members of the UP Vanguard can constantly affirmtheir higher loyally to the nation. This is a source of pride for.the University which nurtured them.

3.0 RealiZing that the qovernrnent has to allocate us scarce

resources among many competing demands, we in the

Universily have responded to the financial constraintson our operations in two positive ways:

3.1 On the revenue side, the University has tried to increase itsincome from various Sources. We have implemented inthe tst semester of t985-1986 as the second phase of theapproved increase in tuition fees and other lees we expectto collect an additional amount of about P6M pesos fromthis Source.3.1.1 We have leased to the private sector and/or qovern

ment corporations the land grants and some business enterprises being managed by the Universityin order to make then revenue tenters. Auxiliaryenterprtses rernainlnqwith the Unlveraity. e.g. dorrnitortes and lood service outlets. have been directed10 operate on a cost-recovery basis.

3.1.2 We have successlully launched the U.P. Develop.merit Fund rrom our U.P. Diamond Jubilee Celebration. Tile U.P. Developoment Fund's income' asof June 1985 has allowed us 10 award 141 professorial chairs and 219 faculty grants. benefiting morethan 10% of our faculty. In addition, incomes fromvarious U.P. based foundations have also contributed to lunding proteasorta! chairs and studentsscholarships. and procuring much needed equipment lor the University, especially in the cornoefield.

3.2.0 On 1he expenditure side, the University has adopted

successfully the Iollowinq cost reduction measures: We have imposed a freeze on employment 01administrative and research personnel and haveleft unfilled many vacated positions.

3.2.1 We have rigorously followed cost.savtnq measuresand an enerqv-savtnq campaign which has resulted

in an 18% decrease in pnvstca! Volume of electrical

consumption.3.2.2 We have made maximum use of our general admin

istrative and support services.4.0 At the same time that we are taking these measures, we

have intensified our efforts to enhance the quality of oureducational and research services. The University hasestablished six "ceruersztnsrnures of excellence" inphysics, geological science, and natural sciences in U.P.Dillman and in chemistry, mathematical sciences. andbiological sciences in U.P. Los Banos. This institutes areactively involved in strengthening their curricular or.lnqs, upgrading faculty capability, improving physlfacilities, and pursuing basic researches. The Universityis developing curricular programs to meet new needsin the country e.g. in landscape architecture. industrialproducts design, blopharmaceuuos. and applied physics.

4.t The Untversttv has also intensified its efforts to make itspresence more visible and directly felt by broader sectionsof the population through various forms of communityservices. It has tried to reach out 10 as wide a clientele asits resources would permit. It has continued to help otherinstitutions, includlllg other universities and colleges andgovernment agencies, enhance their capabilities 10 servethe people or to perform their functions. For example.the University has launched this year its Mindanao extension program. In collaboration with the University 01Southeastern Philippines in Davao City. the BukidnonState College in Malaybatay and the Philippine-AustralianDevelopment Assistance Project. U.P. is now cttcrtnqteacher training and renewal courses in tile basic sciences. mathematics and language teaching and non-degreetraining programs for local otftcta!s in the Province ofZamboauna del 5tH.

UP Statement to ttve Balasan

Pambansa Committee on Appropriations(Delivered by Pres. Edgarda J, Angara on 1 August 1985

at the Batasan Pambansa)

1.0 I wish first to thank you a1! for this opportunity to discussbefore the Committee On Appropriations the Budget ofthe University of the Philippines for fiscal year 1986.and tomake such clarifications as may be deemed necessary.

1.1 For 1986, the University requested the amount of P1,29S.98-P848.8M for CaE and P447.1M for CO. We understandthe President has recommended ajotal. new appropna- ,lions isubsidy) 10' UP. 01 P676.592M, P573.330M for current operating expenditures (COE) and P103.262M lorcapital outlays (CO). While the amount provided is muchless than our budget request and expectation, lei meexpress our appreciation to the Chairman and the memohers of his stall at the Office of Budget and Management,and to the members of this Committee for your understanding of the problems of. and continued support forthe University of the Philippines.Let me emphasize here that the U.P. is now a system offour autonomous universities and lour regional collegesembracing 48 deqree-qrantinq units and another 47 training and research institutes/centers and a national healthservice institution, the Philippine General Hospital. Thissystem offers 113 major fields at the undergraduate, and174 major fields at the graduate level. For the first semester ol academic year 1985·86, a total 0128,729 students areenrolled in the various degree programs in the University.

2.1 While advanced and higher education remains the majormission of U.P., and we are spending about 40% of our

budget 10' that PU'P05C (40% in 1985 and 39% in 1986),the University has stressed also both research and extension services. Great strides have been achieved inboth areas. U.P. accounts for a good share 01 the country's leading personages, institutions. programs andprojects, scholarly publications, and other activities andoutputs in research and extension. For these two functions. the University spends about 25% of its budget(for research, it is 19% in 1985 and 18% in 1986 and forextension it is 9% in 1985 and 7% in 1986).With Ihe renovation of the Philippine General Hospitaland the expected increase in its operational costs, theshare of the PGH in the 1986 budpet will now be 20% (itis 13% in 1985)_ And let me state again that the PGH isnot only a training hospital but also a national health setvice institution. Let me add 1hat PGH doctors and otherstaff members have undertaken major research projectsthat led to breakthroughs in SUch areas ~s hepatitis 8virus which will ultimately lower the incidence 01 primaryliver cancer and the use of estrogen receptor assay in themanagement of breast cancer.The remaining 16% of the U.P. budget for 1986 is forauxiliary services (3%-it is also 3% in 1985) and generaladministration and support services (13%-it is 16% in1985).

2.4 In the past 5-year period, the annual budget request 01 theUniversity has averaged about a billion pesos. What hasbeen appropriated, ~owever, has been less than half ofthat, and what has actually been euo ted is an averageof 41.5% of what the University has considered essr.ntial10 institutional growth and the lulfillment of its mandate.

2.5 In 1985, in the face of Intlatton rates never before expertenccd in the country, the University's bunoct for regular mnlnt cnnnce nud operations expcndftutos '.\I:.ISslashed by P36M and only because the budget for ocrscnal services could not be reduced any further, theUniversity faculty being underpaid as they are.

Dear Mr. Soliman:

This relers to your letter of 9 August 1985 on the nationalservice program. As a state university, the University of thePhilippnes System is included among the pilot schoolscovered by MECS Order No. 44, s. 1985.

Paragraph 3, j. of the order recognizes that there are procedures which state universities like the U.P. have to followundertheir charter In dealing with curricular matters.

Because the V.P. Is a system, action is even more complex.Matters have first to go through the curriculum committee anduniversity council of each of the four autonomous campusesbefore the Board of Regents can act. System-wide decisionsare not quickly made.

The NSL has been the SUbject 01 study among the variouscolleges and units as well as the constituencies of four autonomous campuses. It has been pointed out that there areuniversity units already prescribing or undertaking activitiesof a civic weltare nature.

For these reasons, I am availing of the provislon of para. 3, ofMECS Order No. 44, s. 1985 and requesting exemption onbehalt of the Univer~ity of the Philippines Sy~tem lrom lrnplementing the CWS and continue the regular CMT course untilsuch time as the U.P, completes Its study of existing offt;:lringsand actlvities already being undertaken which maywell satisfythe civic welfare service the N$L contemplates.

I extend hearty congratulations 10 the UP Engineering RadioGuild (UP·ERG) on its 50th Anniversary..

The earliest universities, such as Salerno and 8010gna inmedieval Europe, developed from guilds formed by studentsand masters. Membership in a gUild was considered a highhonor, but one had to work very hard indeed in proving oneselfworthy of acceptance.

On its golden anniversary, the Up·ERG car reflect on its reocord in the promotion of quality electrical engineering education and see how that goal can be better achieved given therapid advances in the field.

M ESSAG ES

I extend special greetings to each and every Sigma Rhoan onthe historic occasion of the Fraternity's First Summit Conference and Assembly.

The meaning of brotherhood in the Sigma Rho goes deep.Who among us can, in words sufficient for all times, expressadequately the effect that fraternal ties has had on our lives:first, as young men, then as adult members of society, and inthe last analysis, as citizens of one nation. Perhaps throughthis summit conference, we can distill from our individual aswell as collective experiences the real essence of Sigma Rho.

As we near our midcentennial celebration let us reflect onhow we have kept faith with our four pillars-sacrifice. loyalty,

"obedience, and service. Let us examine how we have contributed to the growth of Sigma Rho and what it has contributedto our nation.

There is a growing attitude to worship that places moreStress on the personal aspects 01 one's relationship with Godrather than on one's fidelity to the observance of rituals. Theproblem with this inward view of religion is that it may fostermore sett-centereoness than self-communion.

I believe that the Ministry is on the right path when it encourages the outward expression of faith. For truly do we giveglory to God when we reach out to the rest of His children, inthe spirit of loving, sharing and hoping.

SP~ECHES

ASEAN LEGAL ORDER AND FRAMEWORK FORDIPLOMACY

(A Paper of President Edgardo J. Angara delivered et theSeminar on Economic and Political Relations between theASEAN and the European Community held in Sussex, England,December 2·4, 1985.

Following is the summary of his Paper.

ASEAN is being projected as a model for regional cooperation and the region it represents is pictured as the most economically promising one in the world to the end of the century.The basis of this pleasing image as an organizational model isits uneventful history of convivial dlscussions and ceremonialmeetings that have been marked. largely by studious attemptsto sidestep the critical issues of the region. Contributing to thisimage also is the organization's repeated emphasis of itsapolitical character. It was established, so the BangkokDeclaration says, to promote social, economic and culturalinterchange. It is this pleasing image that created the widelyheld opinion of ASEAN as a prime rnmrsters' club that is, forthe most part, irrelevant to any effort to understand and influence the dynamics of the region.

In the first eight years of its existence, ASEAN essentially'achieved nothing. These eight years were among the mosteventful in -the region. The Vietnam War was raging as theworld's three superpowers converged on the Indochinesepeninsula in a test of wills. There was something grosslyincongruous in the intensity of the Indochinese conflict andthe placidity of the organization's activities. Meeting afterministerial meeting was held wh'ere nothing important appeared on the agenda. And then the Vietnam War ended. TheVietnamese communists marched into Saigon and the KhmerRouge took Cambodia. The Soviet Union stepped into thevacuum. Two years later, the Vietnamese swept into Cambodia, overturned the murderous regime of Pol Pot, andinstalled a puppet government. The equable distribution ofpower in the region was thrown off balance. The ASEAN statesfound themselves facing the largest battle-tested army in the

, world. In these circumstances Whereone expected the ASEANstates to look exclusively to their own respective-securities and

. strike a separate peace with the new powers, the unexpectedhappened.

Throwing caution to the winds, ASEAN took a common andfirm stand against the new Vietnamese dispensation in thepeninsula. It suppressed its moratrevutslon over the conductof the Pol Pot regime and successfully worked to deny thevletnamese-sponsoreu Cambodian regime international recoqnitlon. The ASEAN action was remarkable for its alacrity andunanimitv. It appears that eight years of diplomatic pleasantrieshad paid off. Those eight years had gradually created an

-~._---

ASEAN consensus on what constitutes the region's irreducible'requirements for security.

The concept of consensus is often derided as a tautology.It is .the concept. as you know, that characterizes decislonmaking in ASEAN. Consensus, it is said, means arriving at anagreement and a common decision when, through sheerpassage of time and interminable and guarded discussions,there are no longer any differences to reconcile and there isnothing really important to agree upon. The issues have, moreor less, died down of their own accord. It is like a civil suit overa piece of property that ends because Ihe parties have marriedeach other and established a common interest in the objectof dispute.

The ASEAN response to the sudden strategic imbalancein the region shows that consensus may well be the only way tohandle international crisis where there is no supranationalarbitration possible. The long process of consensus-taking isitself the achievement. The constant interaction of ministersand staff has smoothed away the rough edges of divergentnational interests and established a common universe of discourse whereby the members of ASEAN have learned to seethe world in the same terms, if not with the same convictions.The process has, at the very least. reduced the possibility ofmisunderstanding and provided a venue as an alternative toswift. unilateral reactions. It has worked in the case of aammon threat to the region. It remains to be seen whether itill work where intrareqional issues are involved.The ASEAN states are only beginning to realize what their

national interests are, particularly in relation to each other.There will be a time when these interests will have beendefined and translate themselves into international demands.When that time comes, ASEAN will be put to the real test.ASEAN will have to face up to the fundamentally politicalcharacter of its mission.

For all its protestations of regional amity, ASEAN was notborn in concord, At the time of its creation, there were con'frontational issues between ASEAN states. I discussed Iheseevents in my paper. At least two of them, the IndonesianMalaysian konfrantasi and the Philippine saban claim had thepotential for open conflict. When ASEAN was established,these issues were not met head on. Instead they were talkedaround. The ministerial meetings discussed everything exceptpolitics but somehow the interminable talks and exchangessmoothed the jagged edges of confrontation and dissipatedthe tension. Today many of these issues remain outstanding

UI they are no longer studied in the heat of nationalist passicn.heir true contou~~and implications are now reviewed under

the cold ey-e orgeopolitical logic.Although my paper explores the possibility of an ASEAN

legal order, I hope its final configuration will lake its cue fromASEAN's determinedly modest beginnings. I hope that theeffort continues to forge an all-embracing legal framework forASEAN but I do not expect, nor do I want, such a framework tobe definitively established. Change is the principle of international relations and the last thing we need is an. inflexibleregime that will accommodate change only at the price of conflict. I place more stock in the process of arriving at a legalorder than at finally achieving it.

The process will create a common language and set of termsby which the ASEAN states will apprehend geopolitical realitiesand understand their respective national interests. This willprevent surprise and rmsjudqments. It is our best hope ofavoiding conflicts.

The one thing I hope that the effort will not achieve is aninflexible moral standard by wh'lch ASEAN states come tojUdge each other'S conduct. Should this transpire, then ASEANdisputes will take on fatal qualities of the morauv-rnouvatedconflicts of history whose only resolutions have been totalvictory and abject defeat, which are the seeds of future conflicts. I hope that the effort to achieve a legal order does notconfuse the conveniences of an approximate common legalorder with the specious hope of international order and justice:

a hope that has never been realized and Whose frustration hasfueled the inclination to wars more often than .it has everachieved peace.

The ASEAN enterprise seems to be a self-consciouslymodest one. The work creating an ASEAN legal order Shouldproceed likewise, setting itself no higher aim than the harmonization of national laws to facilitate trade, tourism and investment. But on no account should a supra-national Ieqal order beattempted nor even rhetorically called for. Where there are nolarge hopes, there are no great disappointments and, therefore,no deep resentments that may vent themselves in irreconcilable conflicts.

(Christmas Message of President Edgardo J. Angara duringthe Lantern Parade in U.P. Ditimen, on December 19, 1985).

II is written that we shall not, as seekers of truth and know I·edge, be separated one from the other, or kept away from theUniversity because of age, or sex, or nationality, or religiousbelief, or political affiliation.

The wording is enshrined not in the Bible, but in the U.P.Charter, in most precise terms. But it may well be biblical. Itis really what Christmas is all about.

Today, celebrating Christmas this year with this LanternParade and program. no one among us here is too old or tooyoung. neither male or female. We are not Filipino or Thai,Asian or Caucasian, or brown, white or black. Christian orMoslem, we greet each other, "Merry Christmas." Whether webe KBL or Unido, Bayan or Laban, or straddlers or fence sittersChristmas is With us au. -

And while celebrating this common humanity at Christmastime, the University also rejoices in the unity it succeeds irrforging among its diverse constituents. We differ and disagree.We come from different regions and countries. We belong todifferent creeds. Yet amid this wide diversity, we all standunited behind U.P.'s ideals and standards: freedom of thought,truth, tolerance and loyalty. We all rally behind U.P. in thepursuit of these shared ideals. In this hallowed and gracioustime of the year, we all take pride in the fact that U.P. indeedis a unifying force in the nation and among those whose lives ithas touched.

The first Christmas Day unfolded the best and the most thanman can and should do for fellowman. Christmas is a reminderthat there are almost no limits to what man can achieve forhumanity.

When we strive with might and main to keep the U.P.'s academic standards high, we want to place U.P. at par with the bestanywhere. But more important than that, we want U.P. to doexcellently because we want it to do as well as it possibly canby, our people. When we produce potatoes or cassava orbananas or calarnansi or rattan in infinitely larger quantitiesby means of tissue culture, it is a feather in the researcher'scap and decidedly a source of pride for us that research isactive and alive in the University. But the greater good and thehigher value, the ultimate benefit is that it means making morefood available to our people or providing them better livelihood.When we teach Mabini or Shakespeare or Holmes or Marx, weare sharers in other than humanity's base instincts.

This, then, is my message. Even as Christmas foretold suffering and anguiSh. it promises their relief and the end of all.The national crisis that is upon us is a crucible for our humanity. It serves, I believe, to test our mettle as University peopleand to demonstrate and prove, with us working as one, ourhumanity.

I wish you all a good Christmas and a better year ahead.

(Remarks of President. Edgardo J. Angara at the IRRI Necrotogical Service for the late General Carlos P. Romulo on 28December 1985,Chandler Hall, IRRI, Los Bailos.)

Because Carlos P. Romulo was a statesman 01 internationalrenown, he belongs as much to the world as he does to Filipinos. But because he was for a time the President of the University of the Ph-ilippines, and a trustee of this Institute, hebelongs as well to that universal order 01 people who committhe form and substance of their lives to the pursuit of knowledge.

In saying this, we who belong to institutions of learningand research honor ourselves as much as we honor him. Butwe honor ourselves in this way only to bind ourselves morestrongly to the task he so eloquently persuaded us to undertake.

When he took his oath as U.P. President he said that themission of the University "is to constantly search for knowI·.edge. Scholarship is its primordial concern, research its indispensable arm and unfailing source of strength." He believed, however, in more than knowledge for its own sake, orfor the exhulrauon of original discovery. He valued knowledgefor what it could do, for people and a nation.

At a UniverSity convocation, he recounted that when RalphWaldo Emerson boasted to Henry David Thoreau "that Harvardis now teaching all the branches of learning," Thoreau retorted,"Yes, all the branches but none of the roots." But Romufowould have gone further than demanding profundity in learning, he would have also asked, "And what for?"

He said: "If aside from seeking knowledge you know thatyou are here because of something noble, something profoundand inspiring, something that will accrue in unlimited benefitsto our country and people-if, indeed, aside from mere booklearning you know that you are here to devote the best yearsof your youth to the sharing of the idealS which, through OUI

heroes and martyrs as exemplified in their deeds and thoughts,we Filipinos have learned to live by, then you know-and mustbe proud to know-that you are here for the noblest of reasons.You are not merely -SWinging from the branches of learning buthave gone to its very roots. ,. -

If Romulo wanted us to reach down to the fundamental andnoble reason for learning, he would have us also reach outand break off those branches of learning and shape them intoapplicable tools of progress. He would have pointed to IRR!.and others like it, as examples of ideals translated into usefulaction, useful to the communities they purport to serve andthat support them.

By a life dedicated wholly to scholarly pursuits and publicservice, Hornulo exemplified the total university in the reach ofits concerns, the profundity of its scholarship, and the socialusefulness of its learning. It is therefore fitting that we payhomage to the man and his ideals here at IRRI: the cutting edgeof learning, the place where knowledge meets the realities thatmust be transformed and makes its justification.

U.P. LIBERAL EDUCATION: ITS AIM

(Keynote Address of President Edgardo J. Angara read for himby executtve Vice President Oscar M. Alfonso at the OpeningCeremony of the Conference on the GE Program, 16 December 1985 at ihe UPLB Continuing Education Center.

The abiding mandate of this University is to give a liberaleducation. tts mission is to develop Filipinos whose judqmentsare well grounded in a wide knowledge and infused with a profound moral sense.

No curriculum can ever teach all there is to know about the

I 'giving him the faculty to distinguish, in the overwhelming massof knowledge today, what is trivial from what is important. And,what is important, that Which promises richer discoveries.The teaching effort must impart not only learning but imagination.

The aim of U.P. education should be Filipinos able to thinkand judge for themselves-with minds open to thewtde world01 ideas and events, shaping that world and being shaped by Itin turn-minds, in short, that are I~sorptbi~but discerning,critical but creative, nationalistic but not parochial.

It is a violation of the U.P.spirit to wish for anything less thanthis universalist outlook. It is certainly not in keeping with thatspirit to want Filipinos who are intellectual prisoners of dogmaand parochialism.

We are living in an increasingly interdependent world. It isa world we must understand if we hope to survive, not to sayprosper. I do not think there is any danger that the Filipino willlose his cultural integrity in this welter of international intluences. I have confidence in our native strength and integrity.Nor do I lear that the universalization of the Filipino intellectwill soften up the race for subsequent international exploitation that happens only when the country is weak-because itseconomy is backward, its politics irresponsible and its peoplewithout pride in their country. The answer to these threedrawbacks is not only knowledge and discernment but an overriding sense of national unity as well.

I hope this workshop will direct its efforts to such basic lackof national integration. A sense of universality is hollow unlessone has a firm grasp of his nation'S uniqueness. Rizal became auniversal man when he became a Filipino.

When we consider that we have not really departed from themoorings of an archipelago, that tribal instincts continue to rundeep as ever, that a citizen of this land. is an uocano, or aBlcolano, or a Tagalog, or an 1I0nggo first before he is aFilipino, then one b'egins to wonder whether there is in fact oneFilipino nation.

Perhaps the ethnic differences are somewhat forgottenwhen seen through the prism of a foreign culture. But even inthe United States, the tribalism becomes even morepronounced. Ilocanos wou!9 fraternize among themselves.Cebuanos would form their own group. It is as if the term Filipino is only a legal fiction with no practical value whatsoever.

If the Philippines is where it is right now, part of the answerperhaps lies in the lack of a sense of nationhood. For unlessthere is real national unity; no national development is at apossible. And it is to this basic flaw in the Filipino characterthat we must now direct both our reflective faculties and pedagogical skills.

Surely, Philippine education has contributed immeasurablyto the making of our country. And the University of the Philippines has done·its share as well. But one big failure persistsand that is the lack of national unity.

I wish to pose this problem to the participants in this Conference. How can we gear the general education curriculumto the challenging and noble task of instilling a sense of nationhood? How can we retain pride in an ethnic group and yet

. tester a feeling of belonging to a larger community? How do wein-tegrate the various efhnlc-iaentities into a coherent- whole?How do we discover unity in-diversity?

Admittedly, each one of us in the academic community mustbe a communicator of the most timely message-nationalunity. Our success in our transmitting role depends on ourenthusiasm, patience, sensitivity, and interactive skills. Butmore than all these, we can only communicate something if we-tnceretv believe in it and if our deeds match our teaching .

I wish this conference every success.
