Shows that although the absence of trade duties and other regulations led the zone to generate significant benefits for the Philippines through employment and foreign exchange earnings, this was outweighed by the heavy public infrastructure investment necessitated by the choice of location. Concludes that such export processing zones can reduce economic welfare and lead to wastage of scarce public and private sector capital on a massive scale. (Abstract amended)

By focussing upon the Bataan EPZ (export processing zone), the paper studies the economic merits of EPZs as a form of export promotion. If is shown that although the absence of trade duties and other regulations led the zone to generate significant benefits for the Philippines, through employment and foreign exchange earnings, this was outweighted by the heavy public infrastructure investment necessitated by the choice of location.

The irrational and horrifying concept of "limited nuclear war" now being promoted by the Reagan administration cannot be divorced from the historic position of the U.S. corporate empire at this time. It is an empire in decline. Its economic and poitical influence waning, it turns to the ultimate weapon of terror, nuclear war, in a blind and desperate attempt to redress the balance and preserve U.S. commercial and military superiority. And the U.S. military-industrial complex appears to be willing to risk the lives of the Filipino people (and everybody else's, for that matter), for this ignoble cause. Should a theater nuclear war in the Mideast or Asia erupt into a general nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union, U.S. nuclear installations at Clark, San Miguel and Subic would drag the Philippines in with disastrous results.

The Filipino-American defense of the Bataan peninsula in 1942 finally
collapsed under Japanese might as the United States suffered the most
devastating defeat in its history. This article describes the Japanese
defenses, weapons, and tactics used when the Americans liberated Bataan
in February 1945. Utilizing the key terrain feature of the peninsula,
ZigZag Pass, through which wound the only road connecting Subic Bay
with Manila and Clark Field, the undermanned Japanese fought with
aggressiveness, tenacity, determination, and bravery for eighteen days
before withdrawing to central Bataan to engage in guerrilla warfare
until the war's end.

This study assessed the status of the welding industry in Biliran Province. Findings of the study highlighted in detail the characteristics of the welding shops, their owners, problems encountered, future plans, and their service status through the years. Facilities of the welding shops were moderately available (OWM=3.3); and supplies and materials were available (OWM=3.4). Shop personnel were sufficient (OWM=3.5); and location of shops was generally much accessible. Working capital of majority of the welding shops ranged from 15 thousand pesos to 50 thousand; labor wage rates from 40 pesos to 300, depending on the type of work; license requirements were strictly observed by all but without accreditation or linkage. Majority of the welding shop owners aged between 46 and 55; all of them male and married. Majority of them were vocational graduates; several finished a college degree while a few completed high school only. While a few had a certificate of competency from NMYC or TESDA, the majority were simply welders by experience. None had any additional specialized training. Most critical to all the welding shops was the problem of brown out; lack of materials in hardware stores and distance from the source of materials were a felt problem to majority of the shops. The welding shop owners were more of less unified in their future plans: to become a contractor in a big project in the government; to expand the existing shop; to procure a service vehicle; to accept welding jobs outside the province; and to engage in automotive repair. The service status of the shops rose from a provider of mere welding jobs to a builder of vehicle bodies and residential steel gates and window grills.
