Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1953-12-01

Vice Consul Doroteo D. Vite,
who made the introduction, said:
Consul Brillantes, 1 want you
to meet a VIP. - Mr.. Velasco,
publisher of the FILIPINO FOR
UNI y. Human nature IS
not human nature if it does not
respond favorably TO so flatter-
ing an Introduction.
TYPICAL FILIPINO
I met a typically snort Fill
Pine and frail-looking. Standing
from his chair in his office at
the Smith Tower to extend a
hand of welcome, his small ply
steal size was accentuated by
the huge desk behind which he
stood.
FRIENDLY & SINCERE
There was an impression of
friendlfness and sincerity in the
Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1953-12-01

Grasp OIL MS ndnQS ana IN the
gaze from two dark and lumi-
nous eyes under a high intellec-
tual forehead. If there was a
below-averag in his physical
stature, I could feel there was
a better than above-average in
his personality. His broad, low
toned voice, seasoned by years
on the bench, gave an indication
of Intellectual reserve and wis
dom.
But those were just impress
sions at first meeting.
Too Early For Appraisal
Then, l did not want to make
an appraisal of the new Philip
pines consul for the Pacific
Northwest, who was succeeding
my good friend, Consul Melqui-
AIDES Ibanez. 1t would be I'M
fair to make appraisal even af-
ter a few months in his new as
signment.
BETTER PERSPECTIVE
Twelve months have passed.
Now l feel the elements of time
space, proximity to recent events
and closer familiarity would con-
tribute to a more competent
analysis of the personality and
qualities of the new consul.
To Bring Consulate Closer to
the People
In his early public utterances
Consul Brillantes stressed one
outstanding policy that he meant
to observe while Philippines con-
sui in the Northwest-that is
to bring the Philippine Consul
ate closer to the Filipinos; and
if the Filipinos could not come
to the Philippine Consulate, Con
