For 140 years or maybe more
the Filipinos thought their pearls
(hiya, Mr. Fitzpatrick?) of the
Orient consisted of 7,083 islands.
A few years back a Filipino who
didn't believe all he read in books
counted them again. His tally
was 7,081. That's official.
These islands are populated by
people who speak 82 different
languages, hate Japs, are shaken
gently, at frequent intervals by
earthquakes. Some of them are
called Igorrotes. These babies are
tough. They used to be head
hunters and if my information
is correct they are back at their
old pastimes, whacking off the
heads of you-know-who. .They use
axes. .
Gold Is sprinkled all over the
Philippines. It's mixed in with
the dirt, but there's more dirt
than gold and while many Fili
pinos conduct placer mining op
erations with coconut shells, few
grow rich.
The sap from the shoots of the
coconut tree is known as tuba
and is consumed as soda pop.

wine; If it sits too long it be

guard against this unless, of
course, they're in the vinegar
business.
From the nipa plant they make
hats, houses in 30 minutes per
house, and ginebra. The glnebra,
which resembles gin. takes longer
than houses.
A nipa house as run up In half
an hour automatically is air con

gamble on cock fights. They also
like watermelons and dates,
which resemble pears except that
they taste better. They like
oysters, too. They never know
when they're going to find a

So much for my new guide

sightseers now arriving in the
islands. The information came
from the Filipino editor and edu
cator, Senior Maximiano Marmito
Villareal; I put him in a chair in
a corner so he couldn't escape
and asked him questions. He was
polite, too. He didn't laugh once.
Just smiled a couple of times.
