MALACAÑAN PALACE
Manila
April 5, 1970
Sunday
Surigao, Surigao
Regionalization of Malacanang –
a happy people.
Rich in spirit if not in worldly goods. Like coming out of a deep dive in skin diving – to come to the provinces.
Surigao – the numeralized and progressive province.
While in Manila – strikes, threat of violence or blasting of oil companies’ fuel tanks, selfish demands, conflicts.
Gunvar Myrdal’ mistaken conclusions.
The Western World’s propensity to judge us in terms of their levels of culture and material development.
Population explosion – the reassessment of its extent and need of control by UN.
