Philippines drift
toward socialism
HONG KONG - ITie Philip
pines, after 10 months of effort
to rewrite the nation’s constitu
tion, is on the brink of some
major political, social and eco
nomic changes.
The logjam of endless debate
and lack of progress appears to
be breaking up, and the Consti
tutional Convention that began
deliberations last June 1 ap
pears at last to be moving.
The convention has set a
deadline of June 12 this year for
the final draft of the new con
stitution, with a national refer
endum to be held in November.
Those deadlines, however, now
look near impossible to meet
and no doubt will have to be
pushed back.
The trouble at the conven
tion, ironically, is the same
trouble that is affecting Philip
pines society and is the very
reason why an effort to rewrite
the constitution is under way:
Politics and selfish interests
are bucking reforms aimed at
the good of all Filipinos.
There is no questioning the
fact that some truly revolution
ary proposals are among the
5,700 resolutions being consid
ered by the convention’s 311
delegates as they meet in the
musty convention rooms of the
old, sedate Manila Hotel.
Among the more important
ones are:
— A call for changing the
U.S.-style government to a
parliamentary form like that in
Britain.
— Measures to provide a
more equitable distribution of
the nation’s wealth.
— A major revision of judi
cial and other social systems.

MELBOURNE, Australia—Mini-shirted Diane Brown of Seaford, takes step forward on leaving
Royal Children’s Hospital and the Artificial Limb and Appliance Center, recently, wearing her
new left leg and carrying her old one. For 15-year-old Diane, happiness is being able to wear
miniskirts and high heels and feeling free .... an alien status for her until receiving the new
appendage, called the Otto Bock modular system. It’s made mostly of synthetic rubber and it’s
almost impossible to distinguish from a real “gam.” She’ll keep the “old leg" for roughing It
around the house, she said. (UPI)
— An end to foreign military
bases in the country.
— Steps to promote economic
nationalism and the Filipiniza
tion of the economy.
Until recently, most of those
issues have been bogged down
in selfish political and econom
ic considerations.
The question of what form of
government the Philippines
should have, for example, is
tied directly to the question of
whether President Ferdinand
E. Marcos will continue as
head of state.
Marcos, now in his second
term as president (and only
two terms are allowed by the
present constitution), clearly
would like to continue as head
of state. A change to a parlia
mentary system might clear
the way for that. So, too, would
a change of the constitution to
allow more than two terms as
president.
Although pro- and anti-Mar
cos forces are continuing to
jockey for positions, indica
tions are beginning to appear
that a parliamentary system
may well be adopted. But if so,
a measure also will be passed
to prevent Marcos or his wife
from standing for election in
1973.
The convention delegates
now seem to be settling down to
their difficult task, and they
seem to be more reform
minded than many people
thought they would be. At the
same time, they are acting
realistically.
The convention already has
decided to lower the voting age
to 18, which is an important
move since half of the Philip
pines' 38 million population is
under the age of 16.
A committee of the conven
tion also has just passed on to
the main body a very important
resolution on land ownership in
the country by Americans.
Under provisions of the
Laurel-Langley Trade Agree
ment which expires in 1974,
Americans may own land in the
Philippines. An important issue
affecting future U.S. invest
ment in the country has been
that of land holdings.
The Committee on Amend
ments is recommending to the
full convention that lands ac
quired by U.S. citizens and cor
porations owned or controlled
by Americans under the
Laurel-Langley Agreement
may be held by them after 1974
under the conditions imposed
upon Filipinos.
This is certain to have a fa
vorable impact on investment
prospects if passed, but that
passage is in no way assured.
At the same time, the con
vention soon will consider a
“basic rights’’ proposal that
could shake the foundations of
Filipino society.
Among other things, the pro
posal includes Socialist con
cepts on the ownership of the
means of production, and calls
for the removal of foreign mili
tary bases from Philippines
territory.
The sentiment in favor of
greater Filipino control over
the nation’s economy also is
strong, propelling forward a
number of measures which re
flect growing economic nation
alism.
