who was a great tactician than his
forerunner in crossing the Alps.
At any rate, the Latin proyerb
reminds me of the Philippine
movies, whose presentation in
Seattle is sponsored by Victoria A.
Velasco, publisher and editor of the
Filipino Forum. A year ago, the
University of Washington Filipino
Alumni Association approved a
motion to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of sponsoring the presentation of
Philippine movies in Seattle. A
prominent man was promptly
made an Honorary Member of the
Association, and was requested to
contact the Philippine movies when
he returned to Manila in behalf of
the Alumni project.
Like many other Filipino big
shots from the Philippines, who
are Ionized in America by their
appreciative countrymen, the great
man seemed to have forgotten his
posturing and commitments after
he left the American shore. He did
not even bother to send a postal
card not a line, in answer to COM
munieations from prominent Amer
leans and Filipinos on this side.
Frequently, the higher we put
Filipino celebrities from home on
a pedestal, the more they look
down upon us, the more they feel
they have the right to be one or
two hours late at a reception in
their honor, as if it were a great
favor to us for them to let us
honor them-a hangover of AFRO
giant casiquism.
Because of such repeated eX-
periences, Leona Balagot, for one,
would think many times before
voting on a motion to give a re-
ception in honor of Filipino big
shots, who frequently act as
though America were our protec-
torate and not vice versa. She
wor1d rather treat her husband, in
stead.
While the Filipino Alumni hit
a snag and waited and waited,
Editor Velasco acted and is now
sponsoring the presentation of
Philippine movies twice a week
at the Kokusai Theater, Alp May
nard Avenue.
CLOSEST TO FILIPINO HEARTS
Whatever the defects of the
Philippine movies are, a great
many Fihpinos prefer them TO
American movies. To old timers,
the native movies remind them of
the scenes of their childhood, boy
hood and early manhood, and of
songs and romance of long ago.
The Tagalog movies partially sat
isfy the curiosity of the second
generation, about an exotic land
beyond the Pacific, of which they
have heard so much from their
elders, but which they have never
seen. But partial satisfaction of
the curiosity intrigues it for more
adventure or real.
For these reasons, the Philippine
movies. as a rule, strike a more
responsive chord in the hearts of
a Filipino audience.

Oper. AbsOlutiOn

Look again. This is not about that movie, which
alleges TO show the g~oingS0n at the House Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee Hearings in San Francisco,
last year although if what some Catholic critics are
saying is true, lie, that the promoters of this film
are operating under the erroneous theory that the
end j~ustifies the means~then they might well pro-
fit from this operationl
AT n BEGINNING of this Lent we read
with a slight bit of envy, as most OF you did-about
tie relaxing or aboishing of the Lenten regulations
in some us. DioceseS. How nice it would be-we
thought-nOt to have to worry about whether we had
eaten enough or too much. To have a nice juicy ham
burger for lunch-without making il our main meal.
We would of course do something positive TO
compensate or impose some really 'meaningfuP pen
ance upon ourselves.
NOW FORTY DAYS later, however, we can ex-
anime our cOnsciences 10 see whether we have done
a whole lot along these lines. At how many extra
Masses have we assisted during lent? How many times
have we prayed the rosary and the stations of the
cross? What extra things have we denied ourselves?
Can we honestly say it, would be different if there
were no fastand abstinence.
Doing penance by law always seemed a little
less significant to us. After all, if you have TO do il,
there seems little that you are really sacrificing.
Although spiritual directors assure us that it is more
meritOrlouS.
But how practical the Church really is. She
understands that we are human. That we. if we are
fairly normal human beings, will hedge, slide around
and to be charitable, just plain forget all those
extras.
WE SUPPOSE THAT the Bishops of those Do
CeSes have good reason for releasing their people
from the Lenten Fast and Abstinence laws. If our Do
cese were released, we have no doubt that we would
take advantage of the dispensation. My grandmother
would say to the over jealous or Scrupulous souls,
Don't try TO be a better Catholic than the Pope
Which one Of us didn't take advantage of st. Patrick's
day this year?
BUT BEING A HUMAN being, we doubt that we
would do little extra. And what is the resurrection
without the crucifixion-hoWeve minor it may be?

it was attempting to become a

He Is Risen

The feeling we experience today as we stand at
the foot of the Cross on Calvary give way to a time of
expectation which ends with the Easter Vigil rites
tomorrow night.
AT THAI TIA we light anew the blessed fire
to signify how the Light of the World represented
by the Paschal Candle win lead us to heaven. Then
comes the reading of the scriptures to review the his
troy of redemption. And finally the blessing of water
which cleanseS us in Baptism and brings an inward re-
newal each year.
The Mass of the Holy Night scars with the news
that Christ is risen and that we are risen with Him.
The faithful fill the air with Aleluias to express its
ioy in Christ'S victory over sin and death.
BUT U JOY is not only concerned with the
historical event of the Resurrection. 1t concerns our
present state of soul in which we have new life in
God, love for one another, and the pledge of the Eu-
charist that we shall attain heaven if we are faithful.
The glorious theme of the next week then can
be summed up in a few words: "He is risen, He is not
here. . Praise, shout with joy to the Lord."-GAF
