My Experience & Observation
By Mariano B. Angeles I
On the let of this month, the‘
Seattle Worlds’ Fair will come to‘
a Close. Countries that are par
ticipating will then go home‘
with memories of what they
experienced and observed during
their stay. They will bring with
them to their respective coun—
tries what they have observed
and what they have gained by
their participation. 3
So with us, their host, in our‘
note book and memories of this
great exposition, our experience
will be lingering with us
throughout our active existence.
At this time, the writer in
tends only to note two particular
events which, he believes. are of
direct concern to the Filipinos
in the Philippines and the Fili
pinos in the United States, par
ticularly those in this great city
of Seattle. These two events are
the participation of the Republic
of the Philippines and partic
iaton of Filipinos in the United
States in the Seattle World’s
Fair of 1962.
These events, this writer ex
perienced and observed, created
a very peculiar misunderstand—
among Filipino leaders—leaders
who are representing the Repub
lic of the Philippines and lenders
here in the Pacific Northwest.
The leaders did not have the
coordination in their respective
operations of their programs.
There was no unity and clear un
derstanding among themselves;
thus. the affairs and activities
which they planned to show did
not come out successfully as it
should be. Yes, they went
through with their program. but
it was not as good as it should
have been. It was good enough,
but it would have been better
if the leaders came to a better
understanding rather than de
stroying one another.
This experience and observa
tion are in our books and in our
heart and mind, lingering
throughout our lives and per
haps they will be transmitted
from generation to generation. It
will be a very sad part of ouri
history as a people for our chil-E
dren to come across. and very.
unpleasant to think about. i
What was the mistake? Whatg
this writer observed was that the;

leaders handled their problems
lwith a negative attitude rather l
than the positive approach,
‘plus the injection of so much
personal matter and personal in- ,
terest in the program and project
,which they were trying to put‘

|put them through, but they“
; failed to put out what they liked
to show. ,
[ So, yours truly hopes that these i
lnotes should lead us in the right
direction. Please don‘t get him
wrong. Having mistakes is good
.and fine; they will move us to
}be right. But never forget one of ,
ilife’s objectives: avoiding pov-‘
lerty. We do love to go to the}

Eto go to the Welfare afterward. I“
