accommodated only 1,944,569 stu
dents. Last school year we had
3,372,294 students in our public
schools, an increase of almost a
million and a half. Our private
schools accommodated only 179, 918
students before the war, while last
year we had 361, 1879 students en-
rolled, representing an increase of
over 1907.
The salaries of teachers have
also been standardized throughout
the country. Our teachers now are
receiving better salaries than be-
fore the war. They have also been
extended vacation and sick leave
privileges regardless of whether
they are permanent employees or
not.
The government has taken steps
to improve the lot of the public
servants. Aside from the vacation
and sick leave privileges, pre-war
employees have been granted back
pay. About 100000 public function
aries and over half a million de-
pendents have been affected by this
law.

priated for the purpose.

while there had been increasing
demand for chrome, manganese,
and iron ores.
Further Improvement is shown
by the mining industry during the
first six months of 1949. The total
metallic mineral production 18,013,-
867. which is nearly double that of
the same period in 1913 or already
more than three-quarters (78%) as
compared to the total 1948 pro-
duction. Factually, there are in
creases in the production of gold,
copper, chrome, manganese and
iron ores which may be expected
to continue during the rest of the
year 1949.
The only disturbing element if
not sooner remedied is the present
unstable market situation for Ma
sinloc refractory chromite which
may cause considerable reduction
if not total stoppage of shipment
during the year 1850. 1t is believed,
however, that the situation is not
hopeless for renewed demand since
this refractory material has already
established its Importance, particu-
larly with the American heavy in
dustries.
Demand for Manganese
A few of the gold mines are still
operating below their production

Foreign Affairs
Today the young Republic has
the respect of all countries. Philip
pine foreign policy, rs enunciated
by President Manuel Roxas and
carried on by his successor, Presi-
dent Elpidio Quirino, is based on
the principle of the United States
with emphasis on the friendliest
relations with the United States
and with Oriental neighbors. The
Republic is an active participant
in the United Nations.
The government maintains an
embassy in Washington, D. c.; le-
cations in London, Rome, Bangkok,
Buenos Aires and Madrid; special
mission in Toxic; and consular rep
resentatives in the leading cities of
the world. The present ambassador
to the United States, Joaquin M.
Elizaldo, is well known in that
country, having served as a men,
Der of the u S. Congress when the
Philippines were still under the
American flag.
The Philippine philosophy OF
government is based upon a belief
in the essential dignity of the in
dividual, and the Republic looks
forward to future of leadership
and cooperation with its neighbors
and friends throughout the world

p l. MINERAL INDUSTRY. 1948 1949

Villaba, Leyte. 1t has proved good
substitute for the higher priced
imported asphalt.
The future of the local mining
industry appears fairly bright. 1t is
believed that while gold production
is still far below the pre-war years,
there are factors which encourage
local miners to exert more effort
for bigger output during the COM
ing years in spite of the prevailing
high costs of production. In the
base metal field manganese pro-
ducers have greater incentives
with bigger markets and higher
prices paid for their products. The
iron miners are no less anxious to
catch up with the Japanese de-
mand for iron ores. Greater de-
mand for non-metallic products
may also be expected.
Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1950-07-01

The total production of metallic
minerals in 1948 amounted to 22,-
966,641 pesos. This amount was
produced by eight gold, one copper,
three chrome, five manganese, and
one iron mines. In point of values,
the gold mines always take the
lead in production, as compared to
base metal mines. During the year,
gold output alone was worth A.
3OO.654 pesos; chromite came Sec
ond with 2,057, 1855 pesos; and man
ganese took fourth place with an
output worth 840,953 pesos. Silver
and lead productions valued at
100000 pesos were by-products OF
gold mining. With only one iron
mine, the Philippine Iron Mines,
able to rehabilitate during the
year, one shipment of ore valued
at 252, 900 pesos was sent to Japan.
Mining improvements
The total production during the
second half of 1948 was 100000
pesos more than its first half. The
increase was due largely to con-
tinuous mining Improvements and
increasing tonnage produced by
some mines, particularly the Ben
guet Balatoc combine, Surigao
Consolidated, and Taysan Gold
Mines. The Lepanto Consolidated
started milling copper concentrates
during the middle part of the year;

capacity; while the Lepanto Con-
solidated has an ambitious plan to
double its daily capacity from 500
tons to 1000 tons as soon as needed
improvements could be effected.
There. is also an ever-increasing
foreign demand for all the man
ganese ores that the local mines
could produce. The Samar Iron
Mines began to ship ore last March
and in the very near future the old
Gold Star Iron Mine with proper
ties in Martinique, will also be
joining the exporters of this valu-
able ore destined for the Japanese
smelters.
The production of non-metallic
minerals has also shown great i'm
provements during the past two
years. The total value of annual
production is difficult to determine
but it may have exceeded Pro, 000,-
900 during 1948. These mineral
products are all consumed locally,
except an insignificant expectation

steamship service, and inter-iSland
transportation by air is likewise
available. The eleven major islands
plus two which are centers of we'll
defined groups of small islands, are
touched by regularly scheduled
flights. Thirty-one cities and mu-
inequalities have scheduled air
service and nineteen others are
visited occasionally by non-sched-
uled flights. There are railroad
lines on Luzon and Panay.
Manila has a modern port cap
able of docking the largest ocean
going vessels. Some Is steamship
companies provide service between
United States ports and the islands.
Two American air lines and the
government = controlled Philippine
Air Lines (PAL) make several
flights week between Manila and
cities of the west coast of the
United States. The Philippines is
also linked to several international
networks offering air transporta-
ton to other major cities of the

of coal at long intervals and the
shipment is often not reported.
Non-metallic mineral products be-
sides coal, rock asphalt, gypsum
and Portland cement, include mar
BILE products, crushed and pulver-
lied limestone, lime, glass sand,
building stones, sand and gravel,
salt, clay products, sulphur, guano
and phosphate rocks, asbestos, etc.
Ties With Local Industries
The coal mining industry is more
closely tied up with the fuel re-
quirements of local industries. The
Cebu Portland Cement plant at
Maya, Cebu, is at present the only
big consumer. Little purchases are
made now and then by sugar CEN
trails and small shops and there
have been reported expectations to
nearby countries. Nevertheless, the
reported 1948 production has al
ready exceeded the annual pre-war
production. 1t is believed that with
the increasing fuel need of the
local industries and barring COM
petition from foreign sources, the
local coal miners may expect big
ger demand for their products dur
ing the rest of the year 1949. The
coal producers in Cebu district will
be especially benefited. The gov
eminent colliery at Malangas may
still continue to sell some of its
production to the Cebu Portland
Cement Co., while filling up soap
contracts. Coal miners from other
districts may continue selling small
lots locally and to nearby coun-
tries.
Demand for Rock Asphalt
Although mining of rock asphalt
locally is not new, the demand for
this material has steadily increased
lately. 1t is used for the rehabilita-
ton of public roads especially in
the Visayan provinces which are
easily accessible from its source in
