LETTERS
j THE EDITOR
Dear Nyssa Friends:
Maligayang Pasko!!! That’s
Merry Christmas in our lan
guage! I’ve wanted to write
earlier, but I have hardly settled
back at home when I had to
leave again for a month to
screen candidates for AFS
1968-69! I went to five cities,
becoming ill in one city and
having a serious relapse in
another city before coming
home!! We still have interviews
until December 22, so 1 thought
it best to sit down and write
this Christmas letter!
My pictures of my visit to
Nyssa turned out quite well
(good ol’ Instamatic!) and my
family and friends always hear
about my VERY SHORT visit.
Well, maybe next year I can
stay in Nyssa for a week! There
were still many friends I wanted
to visit and call, but 22 hours
were not enough last September!
We have fund-raising cam
paigns and Christmas caroling,
and I have about 150 Evaluations
of candidates and Evaluations of
35 American students who
stayed here for the summer.
Aside from that, we’ve been
trying to clean the office!!!
(groan!) As if I haven’t enough
to do, I am also enrolled this
semester at the Far Eastern
University (57,000 students!)
every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday!
All radio stations (more than
25) in the city are playing
Christmas carols, so with other
stations in the provinces. All
department stores are all
decked out for the holidays, kids
run around in new dresses with
new toys, parties here and
there, people with packages,
etc. All these in contrast to
the Christmas of our poor. We
had our elections last month for
Senators, and local officials.
As usual, candidates promis
ed a lot of things, especially
to the poor (which constitute
the majority of our 33 million
population). But we don’t know
and can’t tell how many of them
will fulfill their pledges to help
them. As my small contribution,
I am participating this Christ
mas vacation in a civic organiz
ation’s campaign for food and
clothing for theunderpriviledg-
ed. AFS returnees are think
ing of putting up a similar pro
ject so I will also have an
active part in that.
It is getting cooler, especial
ly in early morning and in the
evenings. From Ike. 16.people
are attending midnight mass
and will continue to do so until
Christmas day. Our celebration
lasts until Jan. 6.
I have so many things to be
thankful for, and I feel very
lucky to be stuck with a fam-
ily like mine. 1 would say
‘families’, as 1 have many in
the United States and around
the Philippines, but I’m es
pecially proud of my own fam
ily. My mother has given up
hoping for one of us to be SANE!
They told me that they missed
me while I was gone last Sept
ember and November, as it was
