Acting Senior Aide to the President

City of Bagu~ vept~~ber 23, 1948 STRICTLY CONFID..;;NTIJ,L/

MELORANDUM: HIS EXCBLIENCY TrIE P~SIDENI' MAIACANAN , MP,NIIA Reliable information is circulating around that in the event there is a change in the Ha.yorship of Baguio, the possible successor to replace Mayor Jose 1•• Carino, is either Dr. T. Arvizu or Atty. Ramon h.itra. If thi s is true , we the people of Baguio vigorously interpose our unconditional objection to the appointment of either one of _them because the people have absolutely no confidence in them. Their names are smeared with antagonism, aloftness , insincerities, unjust treat~ent of the poor and many other ill actuations needless to mention here. These, ¥.ar. President , are the true sentiments of the peopl e of Baguio especially the humble Ilocanos who comprise the bulk of the population to about 75P• The two men above mentioned c;.re considered the enemies of the masses w.:.o should not be given again the chance to run the admini stration of this City for we sincerely believe that they are not the types of men whom the people can trust . Their days are now over and the people have had enough of what they can do , and what they have done in the past are but just example of the kind of leaders they are.

If either one of them is appointed , there will surely be a general discontent among our people and we are afraid that a mass protest or indignation r ally against their appoi nt ment be held by the people of Bagui o.

Henceforth , the Visay~ns , in the person of ~iayor Nicasio Val derosa, the Tagalogs, by ::ier gio Bayan and by Ramon P. hitru, the Bicols, by Pedro Armefia, the Pangasinanses, by the late Mayor Isidoro ~iapno, and the Igorots .,, by the present 1ayor Jose M. Carino were a.11 given chances to ;uirninister the affairs of the City of Baguio but the Ilocanos comprising the greatest number of the Baguio residents have never been given a chance to administer the affairs of our City. -We sincerely believe , ¥.;r. President that the Ilocanos are not an inferior clGss of people to be always waylaid and disregarded. 1ie also believe that there are Ilocanos wLo are capable to take charge of the affairs of the City government. ,~e agree with the sentiment of one of the Native Le~ders, r . Pedro Carantes, who said (please see attached clipping of the l·iIDLAND COURIER elated Sept . lS, 1948) that if a change in the 1-,ayorship should take place, an Ilocano should be appointed to the position. The feelings of }lr. Carantes r . President, is the feeling of the general public and if Your Excellency desires to find proof of the true facts, we are ready to present to your ~xcellency, a petition to be signed by our peopl e .

We ha~e, ¥i.r. President, to inject sectionalism because this is a cosmopolitan City but the present rolitical set up in Baguio demands that an Ilocano 1-iayor ~i given also a chance to administer the City Government in compliance witl~ ~ shes, dreams and desires of the majority of the Baguio people.

The following are a few of the reasons why the people of Bagui o would not endorse the appointments of the two applicants for the lvfayorship: Dr. T. Arvisu .(a) He is decidedly a m~mber of the unsympathetic capitalist class who values the glitter of money above service to the people.

(b ) He is too ant agonistic to the poor people . (c) He is insincere and decidedly a political outcast by ulmost all people of the City of Baguio. The LP will never forget the heavy contribution he ,ade to the Nationalista Political M.achine in this City while at the same ti.me pr ofessing to be a member of tne .i:..iberal Party. (d) He is an opportunist .

(a) He will long be remembered as the man who became f • fM when he was President of the RELIEF TRADERS Inc ., during the Japanese cupf.tion which had for its purpose a ·systematic wnolesale acquisi~ion of the Public Utilities of Baguio and the Mines for his own personal benefits to the detriment and prejudice of the people • (b) During the last election, the hatred of the people towerds lti.tra &nd his group was definitely shown by the shameful defeat of his personal candidates in whose campaign he personally directed. The nomination of his candidates, r.quino and Reyes were scandalously nominated because his delegates were 11 fixed 11 before the votation. His dirty tricks will never be forgotten by the electorate of Baguio. will

rir . .. resident, we are submitting these facts in the true light as we for your infor,nation. Ba.sing our judgment from what we know, hear and the feelings of our peopl e, we know~ r . President that it is impossible that the appointient of either of the above will be remote as we know that you are well acquainted of the situation in Baguio. Yet , Mr . President, we · want to make sure tL,,.t, no mistake maybe cor:unitted ct.used by pressure on you by scrupulous individuals. ,1e h~ve therefore, in the light of our fears , 1'1r • .1. resident, took this liberty to address you to memorialize you of the true f cts in the interest of helping enhance the fair, righteous, and honest admim.str ,ion which you have so nobly started only a. few months ago . see the1

Assuring you of our continued esteem and cooperation in your 1Ldrninistr~tion, and always ready to be of service to you, we are, dear Sir, nespectfully submitted;

City o:f Baguio October 29, 1948.

r

His EJccellency President Elpidio Quirino Malacanan, Manila.

s i r : When we oame to pay our respects and to present our oandidates for City Mayor of Baguio in the per.sons of (1) Juan F. Zarate, (2) Antonio Rimando, (3) Atty.

Jesus Jaramillo, and (4) Graoiano Carino, and reoeived your counsel that we mu.st have to unite, we immediately gathered together and after thorough deliberation unanimously agreed to recommend for your consideration Mr. Graciano Carino for the position of Mayor of Baguio.

Our reasons for indorsing wholeheartedly the appointment of Mr. Graciano C.Arino for City Mayor of Baguio are: many

(1) He has been a respected resident of Baguio for years and a bonafide tax payer of this City;

(2) Because of his taot and broad sympathies he can help harmonize the different political factions of the Liberal Party in Baguio and at the same time help win over or neutralize most of the leading Naoionalistas 1 as oan be readily seen from the political complexion of the signers of this petition; (3) As early as 1934, he has been backed up by political leaders of Baguio for appointive Assemblyman for the 2nd District of the Mt. Province; (4) His wide and varied background and experience in business and economice is an indispensable asset for a good City Executive; (fi) Hil appointment is not only a good political move but also a wise one because he is prepared to solve the difficult robleme of the City, by reason of his rich training a okground.

His Excellency .

President Elpidio Quirino Malacanan, Manila My dear Mr. President: As a member of the National Committee of our party (Liberal Party}, I wish to urge you as head of the party to preserve party unity now to insure success of the Government's program of economic rehabilitation of our ruined country, so well began by you¡ and the late President Roxas and other party leaders. So many interested people from our party and the opposition come to my office inquiring about party split. I have always assured them that there will be no party breakdown on the part of the Liberals, and that the talk of a party split is the work of intriguers interested solely in their personal benefit.

I also urge that an early party convention be held to prevent consuming and demoralization of government functions which must be kept with dignity to obtain results for the benefit of the people. As a party leader, I propose that a Quirino-Yulo combination be offered early to be approved , by an early convention of our party. This combination, to me, and believed by many others, is the best the country and the Liberals can offeljand settle all political differences in the Party. It is believed that Senate President Avelino will see his way and agree to my proposition with respect to the combination in the next presidential election. Mr. Iulo, I also believed, can be commandeered by the party to be your running mate as candidate for VicePresident. For the sake of Party unity and our government, for which we have sacrificed so much, let us all unite as party men.

Yours sincerely,

Francisco Reyes, Mr. Rufino Bueno, Dr. Emiliano Ramirez, and Atty. _Patricio P~rez, Thus, the above are the political set up in the City of Baguio. Had it not been for the underground work of most efficials in our ad.ministration who fought ua for Mitra and Laurel, the Liberal Party would have been much stronger. However, we can auure your Excellency, with your backing w., Baguio will always remain Liberal because we have already won the affection of the people as shown in the last elections' results.

February 15, 1950 His Excellency, President Elpidio Quirino Mansion House, Baguio City Dear Mr. President: I have the honor to enclo?e herewith, for Your Excellency's perusal, a clipping .of the editorial of the Fookien Times, which was published on Tuesday, February 14, 1950, under the title "Welcome Back to President Quirino".

The editorial expressed the rejoicings felt by all residents of the Philippines, aliens as well as citizens, in your home-coming because of your speedy recovery from the major operation and of your successful conversations in the United States with President Truman.

In its conclusion, the editorial said: "It is noted that President Quirino, in coming back to the Philippines, is in excellent spirits and very optimistic.

This is evidently due, on one hand, to his preparedness, both physical and mental, for the difficult and tremendous task ahead, and on the other, to the definite results which he obtained from his conversations with President Truman. Therefore, we do believe that, under such favorable circumstances, the Philippines has an exceedingly bright future. In welcoming President Quirino back to the Philippines, we wish him a speedy complete recovery and and early success in his task and projects."

In transmitting the sentiments underlining the enclosed editorial, may I add my personal best wishes and respectful regards to your Excellency.

Satur~, March ll1 1950-Editorial

AID IN SOUTHEAST ASIA It seems to be agreed that if the United States is to make effective moves against the advance or communism in Asia some plans for stabilizing the situation in various countries must be initiated and adopted. Viet Nam wants military aid, at once, to meet the increased threat of the Communist-led forces or Ho Chi Minh.

Burma has indicated a receptivity to American assistance, after having been somevbat fearful of' "foreign" exploitation. Indonesia is seeking further rehabilitation loans. Discussions are in progress concerning the relation of American stockpiling to Ma.laya•s econom;y. A State Department mission. is now in the field making a surve,- and a "new" Asiatic policy is predicted for sometime in the summer.

Meanwhile there is one danger point at which we can and should act 'Without the need for further "exploration". That is the Philippines. We have a direct military connnitment and a strong moral cOllllllitment to the new Republic's security and progress.

It can be met, now, with concrete actions that 'Will promote stability in the archipelago and at the same time give an earnest to the rest of Asia that ve mean business. Here are some of the things that can be done: (1) The United States Congress should immediately make a further and final amendment to the War Damage Claims Act, appropriating the necessary $100,000,000 to bring the scale ot payment up to the 75 per cent level that was implicit in the original legislation. This is a matter of good faith, but it can be made also a matter of substantial economic gain for the Philippines by ma.king some simple provisos. It can be stipulated, :tor example, that the additional paymentsto those whose claims have already been met in part must be used in projects designed to fur..her rehabilitation and economic improvement in the Philippines. This would assure the channeling o£ the f'unds into productive enterprises.

(2) The United States should extend to the Philippines, now, a currency stabilization credit similar to that which was extended to Mexico. An amount of about $100,000,000 should be adequate. This is imperative, since adverse trade bala~es have drained awa:r too much of the country• s gold reserve. The peso is not now as stable as it should be and there is a bl.8.ck market. (.3) The United States should dispatch, immediately, a small, really top-level and non-governmental mission to examine and report on the possibility of private investment ot the sort envisaged in the Point Four program. Such a mission, and it should be good enough to inspire complete confidence, should advise the Philippine Government on the steps necessary to encourage investment. It should also advise Americans as to where and how investment could be made profitably. There are opportunities in abundance. In this category could be placed certain public operations that could be funded with private capital, such as the rebuilding or the vater supply for Manila and Baguio, the construction of some key roads, and the development of dam projects that would be a source of both irrigation and power.

(4) The United States should quickly resolve any further dispute about our military commitments by strengthening its Philippine establishments. If' we are to hold Clark Field there ought to be a ground force to defend it and its fuel sources

should be made independent or the haul from Manila. If Subic Bay- is to be our major naval station its fueling capacity should be made adequate. If we have other and wider programs for a solid establishment in the archipelago they should be started now.

The Philippines is at the moment 1n a shaky economic position. nerable military position. It can be turned into a bastion of great nomically, politically and militarily, by prompt action. We and the in basic accord and we need not f'ear that we will be misinterpreted. jointly_. The important thing is to act now.

It is in a vulstrength, ecoFilipinos are We can act

NATIONAL ILLUSIONS President Quidno's address prepared for the commencement of Far Eastern University was a frontal attack on national illusions. ]S"o nati-On Is entirely free from them. The Americans have a fiction-fed belief in the happy ending, The Russians are afflicted with the opposite, the Inevitability of tragedy, The Brit1.sh aa a nation believe In invincibility. None of these things is founded in absolute realism.

The President named three illusions which he said belonged to the Philippines before th~ war and are gradually being torn away, like a veil. These, he said, are the illusion of automatic plenty, the illusl-On of Jnvincible freedom and the illusion of eventual permanent peace. Tiley were built in an era of comfort. lndep end en ce and plenty became synonymous in the public mind, and it was taken for granted that once -tional freedom was attained nothing could destroy It or change It. Therefore peace was Inevitable.

It ls oot easy to substttute realism for musion and President Quirino was a.Iert to the danger of creating depressing dtslUustonment by shattering a dreamworld. He said he hesitated to speak ''In such blunt and uninspiring terms" on coD1Jnencement day, but It was better for a young graduate to know what kind of world be was getting_ Jnto, the better to meet its ex.actions and impositions.

W.e disagree with the word "uninspiring." On the contrary it was inspiring. '.l'he kind of commencement speech that tells starry-eyed graduates what great things are now expected of them because of their educational advantages faJls flat In comparison. It builds them up for a let-down, and therefore Is psychologically disadvantageous to them. But tell young men and women they are in for a tough tune because things are many tunes harder than they were for the last few generations, then you plant the seeds of effort and hard work, of sober thought and feeton-the ground common sense. ~resident's ~QWlencement speech was not a long one but one o~ e best"lie nair give11,.. In public office. As ls often the case ne tookadv~tage of the occasion to sp-1( through the college graduates to all the citizens of the nation, ~ a d a fresh slant on criticism, meaning, of co~c:,, c ~ tne a4Jni_nls on anil'71ie -w.y 1he government Is being rwi, The only justifieil ~ government ls one who comes wUh clean hands and ls ~ willing to assume his share of responsibility for both evil and good.

Few people missed the point In his reference to "the embittered and disillusloned who like to sulk on Olympian heights," and who seem gratified when their gloomy predictions come true and "derive satisfaction from the unhappiness of our people," It was another public Invitation roable men of ffie- opposltton----W comit f"61'Wlml a'nlT-]mrt11mr- shoufcnlos-t wheel. lftll"emvifaflon was as fliereet of the address It was also a frontal attack--an attack on illusions in politics.

CONFIDENTIAL His Excellency President Elpidio Quirino Mansion House Baguio City Dear Mr. President: Regarding our unity effort, I have the honor-to report that the reaction of Dr. Laurel and the others to your two speeches and the press statement last Friday night is generally good. I saw Dr. Laurel last Sunday and he seemed very glad that the "ice has been broken" and that public opinion is now duly prepared to receive understandingly any step toward eventual cooperation.

The Chronicle has been desperately trying to sabotage our work. The story last Sunday about my having b e en "disauthorized" was grossly twisted and misrepresented for a definite purpose. Of course it has always been understood that my talks with you regarding this matter were of "unofficial" nature. Another reason for the extra pains being taken by the NP not to give the impression that our talks had official sanction is the fear felt by some minority men that "I sold them short" by suggesting to you the formula of "cooperation but no coalition" at this time. Hence, the obvious attempt of Senator Rodriguez to anticipate any official announcement from you.

He took the initiative to express this yesterday as a sort of NP policy. Inc.w.il)i.ally, the new NP eagerness is also explained by the fact,1"6~¡cause of your candid appeal, public opinion is now very much on your side.

As we had anticipated your trend of approach has put all of them on the defensive. I urge consistent application of this policy in all statements, etc. It is also my impression that the NP heads have deliberately made a loophole in their Caucus decision by stipulating that any of their members may accept a job with you 11 on his own". This should suggest the possibility of utilizing Dr. Laurel or any other in a strong advisory capacity. As a gesture it should have these advantages of first satisfying the general clamor for cooperation and then you would be afforded the time to study the basic problems of having more minority experts in the gove:tnment.

President Elpidio Quirino

April 17, 195

I believe that I could ar_range for a dramatic meeting between you and Dr. Laurel as soon as he goes up there.

I would like to discuss all aspects of the case before this takes place. The suitable time for this event should be soon after Ambassador Romulo leaves for the States.

I would like to suggest further, Mr. President, that no specific phase of the pending implementation of :the cooperation be announced tiM after your first few friendly talks with Dr. Laurel. This will avoid ill-timed kibitzing of many selfcentered politicians, a thing which could. be fatal to our objective~.

Assuring you

REPUBLIC OF. THE PHILIPPINES BAGUIO CITY

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

CCNFIDENTIAL

His Excellency, the President Malacafian, 1''fanila Hy dear i 1r . President:

Today I have completed exactly one r.ionth in this Offj.ce, and although apparently I have given my preferential attention to the financial difficulties of the City of Baguio, to the extent of making weekly trips to r,fanila for the purpose of collecting sums of money due the depleted treasury of Baguio , or otherwise enlisting the help of important oreanizcttions for the accomplishment and completion of certain public works, yet I have not neglected the considel'ation and solution of one of the most difficult problems which confront me since Your Excellency inducted me into this Office .

I am referring to the Police problem. Soon after I took charce of the affairs of this City , I have been approached by respect able people , all of them telling me confidentiall y about the gambling and vice situation in Baguio . It aRpears that for sometime, particularly during the Holy \leek , certain enterprising perRons carne to Baguio for a display of their gambling propensities at the expense of t he vacationist or visitors . They mentioned to me two places in the Session Road, one of them the Monaco , where even hie.;h officials won or lost money by the thousands on a "monte" or poker table. I would not go into the details of this matter , but will only discuss herein the role of the Police in this affair.

In one of the previous meetings of the City Council , when a paper was read charging the Police with indifference in the suppression of this evil , I instructed the City Secretary to prepare a letter to the Chief of Police requirinr; the latter to give results, not excuses, of his ap~arent failure to suppress gambling and prostitution.

I ~ave even given a special assignment to an employee of my â&#x20AC;˘office to give me confidential information about gambling in Baguio and the attitude observed by the Police, particularly the Chief thereof; and i n summinE up the various confidential reports submitted to me, I have come to the conclusion that the Daguio Poljce , and for that matter its Chief, have been tolerating gambling and prostitution in this Cit y .

-o',,,;~~""s¡(,~~ l l IN\\ li

. ~ ~ In connection with the above, the conclusion 'ffi~~~ also inescapable that such tol~ration is not without consideration, disinterested . In fact, I have received an anonymous letter to the effect that hush money is not being delivered from hand to hand, but through the mails. The informant sur,gested that I should open the mails addressed to the member:""S of the police dep&rtment. This is, of course, preposterous, for I am not going to infringe the law in order to catch a lm.¡1-breaker .

I have been thinking of having o. formal invc~tigation conducted of this whole affair , but even if I have an able and impartial investigator, you will agree with me, rr. President, that investi6 ~tions of this nature are slow and tedious, the public becomes impatient, and in most cases key witnesses are shy or afraid of telling the truth because of fear of retali~tion.

I have consulted the Councilors and they all agree that the situation demands action on our part. I may mention, in this connection, a conversation that I had last month in the Guest House with my friend , General Castaneda. lvhen I asked him about Cawed, the General said that Mr . Cawed "is a gambler".

In the lir;ht of all the above, considering the present trend and the anxiety shown by public opinion , in Baguio, and since, during our short conversation in the Airport before you took the plane for Manila, Your Excellency has apparently made up your mind to change the present incumbent of the position of Chief of Police in Baguio by having him called to duty with the Constabulary, I have the honor to recommend that appropriate action in that direction be taken. \Tith reference to his successor, I have been confidentially informed about Captain Claravall who occupies the position of Executive Officer of the Department, next in rank to the Deputy Chief, Captain Fianza.

I have been told that Captain Claravall is honest but I do not know much about his character. Nevertheless, I would sue;gest that if Your Excellency has made up your mind about giving to Capt . Claravall the position to be vacated by l1ajor Cawed, it would perhaps be advi sable that, by way of a test, he be given only a temporary designation until such timP th1.t he shows that he deserves a permanent appointment.

His Excellency, the President Malacafian, Manila

My dear Mr. President: Today I have complet.ed exnctly one month in this Office 1 and although apparently I have given my preferential attention to the financial difficulties of the City of Baguio, to the extent of making weekly trips to Manila for the purpose or collecting sums or money du~ the depleted treasury or Baguio, or otherwise enlisting the help of important organizations for the accomplishment and canpletion of certain public works, yet l have not neglected the consideration and solution of one of the most difficult problems which con!ront me since Your Excellency inducted me into this Office.

I am referring to the Police problem. Soon af'ter oÂŁ this City, I ha-Ye been approached by reap,.etable people,. all of them 'telling me confidentially about the gambling and Tice situation in Baguio. It appears that t'or sometime, particularly during the Holy Week, certain enterprising persons came to Baguio for a display of their gambling propensities at the expense of t he vacationist or Tisitors.

I took charge of the affairs

In one of ~he previous meetings of the City Council, when a paper was read charging the Po11ce with indifference in the suppression of this ertl, I instructed the City Secretary to prepare a letter to the Chief or Police requiring the latter to give results, not excuses, of his apparent failure to suppress gambling and prostitution.

I

My dear

Mr. Presidentr

Several weeks ago, I told you of my desire to be relieved as Mayor of the City of Baguio.

Since

then, the weather and temperature in that Mountain

Capital has affected

my

health and that of Mrs. Tor-

res as well; in fact her blood pressure has gone up to a point that makes me worry about it.

In hereby formall y t endering

my

resignation

from said position, to take effect at your convenience, allow me to express

my

sincere gratitude

for the opportunity you have given me to be of further service to our country and your administration.

Most sincerely yours,

~ LUIS P. TORRES I

HEADQUARTERS PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY L O AKAN, 6 AGUIO CITY

24 January 1951 His Excellency The President of the Philippines JJalacanan Palace Manila Sir: I have the honor to invite you to be the commencement speaker in the graduation exercises of the Philippine Military Academy on February 17, 1951 at 10:00 o'clock in the morning.

The last formal graduation of cadet~ from this institution was held in March of 1941 when the Philippines was still a commonwealth under the United States or .America. This year, after a lapse of ten years, it is with profound national pride that we announce the graduation of the first class of cadets from the Military Academy of a sovereign Republic. For such an historic event, therefore, we consider it most appropriate and fitting that the commencement speaker be no other than the President of the Philippines and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

The Philippine Military Academy will indeed consider it a rare privilege if you could honor us with the acceptance of this invitation.

Yours faithfully,

.......

January 29, 1951

My dear Col. Fajardo: The President has directed me to thank you

for your kind invitation of January 24 to be the commenca:nent speaker in the graduation exercises

of the Philippine Military Academy on February 17th.

He regret~, however, that due to a previous en~gement, it will not be possible for him to attend.

Sincerely yours,

JUAN COLLAS

REPUBLIC OF T HE PHILIPPINES CITY OF BAGUIO

OFFIC E OF THE CITY COUNCIL

His Excellency The President of the Philippines Malacafian Palace, Manila Through His Honor The City Mayor, Baguio

- ··~·--

Sir: We, the undersigned, a£ter a long and matured observation on what is going on in the Police Department of this City, do hereby petition His Excellency, lhe President of the Philippines, to remove from office Miguel Capistrano as Chief of Police of the City of Baguio based on the following grounds: 1. That he unduly humiliated his Department as well as the City Administration by evacuating from his residence with his family when he heard a rumor that the HUKS were going to attack Baguio last September 1950. He be.came the laughing stock of the City. Articles were published in the newspapers regarding the behavior of the Chief of Police.

2. That judging from the attitude of his policemen, they do not like him. There are records to show that he is being disliked by his men because of his stignge attitude towards them.

J. That his retirement from the Army is due to physical disability. Because of his physical defect, be is not an asset to the City ·Administration but rather a bt.n-den and a liability. If he was unfit to serve the Arrrq, he is also unfit to serve as Chief of Police of Baguio because our taXJ:tlYers deserve to have a man on whom they can place their trust and confidence for protection, physically and mentally as well.

4. That a Chief of Police must be a model of his men. Chief Capistrano is not a model and an example of his men because through his carelessness and negligence, he lost his revolver, stolen by a boy who was entrusted by the Court under his custody. The boy ld..lled himself with the Chief's revolver. If Chief Capistrano was careful enough, the boy might not have lost his own life. News articles again appeared in the newspapers regarding the tragedy.

In order to bolster a higher degree of efficiency among the members of the Police Force and regain once more the lost truft and faith of the city residents and visitors as well, on our Chief of Police, we sincerely reouest His Excellency, The President of the Philippihes, the immediate removal or suspension of Chief Capistrano as Chief of Police of Baguio so as to end once and for all, the embarassments am. humiliations the city administration has suffered through him. , .._______

Beloved President:

For a better and fruitful administration of the City Governnient, to maintain the faith of the people in this pa.rt of the country, and to make the residents of Baguio closer to the local Administration, we hereby urgently request that our number one elected Councilor, Hon. Benito H. Lopez, be appointed Mayor for this City in place of the present incumbent.

Hon. Benito H. Lopez, our beloved councilor, is a man of progressive constructive ideas. During his term of office, he has shown paramount concern of and deep interest on the problems of the masses. His untiring effort in making a detailed survey and study of the actual conditions of every district in Baguio, as submitted to the City Council here, is a concrete manifestation to the fact. and

As an exemplary and good citizen of the community, our Councilor Lopez, has shown the great spirit of philantrophy, has made vocal his profound civic consciousness and p.iblic spiritedness in many concrete ways.

He has extended financial help to schools, civic organizations and to our school children, the great future and golden hope of this.community and of the Fatherland.

Time and again, our Councilor Lopez has clearly manifested his honesty and sincerity of purpose to help the common man. He fully understands the varied problems of society, particularly the needs and heartaches of the masses of our people. His profound interest to promote the welfare of the Baguio market vendors and his symp:1.tby to the problems of the workingman attest to the whole truth. B.ecause of his devotion to public duty, because of his fighting spirit in the City Council of Baguio, championing righteousness, justice and the cause of the people here, he enjoys admiration, faith and love of the masses.

Your Excellency, we need strong and dynamic leadership in Baguio.

That type of leadership, the call of the hour, is in one .man in the person of Hon. Benito H. Lopez; the man who has a big heart and the heart of our people; the man who can effectively rally majority of the people here under one banner; the man, who in public life, his actuations for the public good have been tested, tried and found honestly true. Our beloved Councilor Lope~ is the friend of the people here, close to that people and a loyal. public servant â&#x20AC;˘

(

We earnestly appeal to Your Excellency that our Councilor Lopez be the Mayor for the City of Baguio in order to maintain leadership in this

Being a government employee with a present salary of 140 pesos per month is not enough to guarantee the future college life of my boys and that it is very necessary for my wife to manage our business of bicycles for hire at Burhham Park from 2 bicycles in December of 1949 to 20 at the end of the 1953 summer. It is my desire that{ought to have 35 bicycles this time, an additional of 15 more of different sizes involving an additional money investment of 2 thousand pesos.

It is on these circumstances that I 8lll requesting your financial assistance. Please, dear President Quirino, give me a charity ehristmas loan check of 2 thousand pesos, and in return you get a dividend of 30 pesos per month payable at the end of 12 months plus the face value of my life insurance of 2 thousand pesos with your name as the beneficiary to protect your investment. Your investment is well protected because you hold personally the insurance policy. I may request you to return to me that life insurance policy of mine as soon as your 2 thousand peso investment is completely paid to you.

Anticipating to receive this christmas loan check of 2 thousand pesos and praying for your best health and long life so that you could still help ambitious young people, I 8Dl Your future business partner,

This office has received your letter of December 14 to the President, requesting his financial as-

sistance in the form ot a 1'2,000.00 loan to enable you to expand your busineas.

I am very sorry, but or

late there has been such a heavy drain on the President's private funds largely due to very much earlier requests for loans , donations, . voluntary contributions and other charitable purposes that tor the moment hie funds are exhausted.

For this reason, much

to our regret, no aid can be extended until he can replenish his coffers.

Sincerely your~.
