JOAQUIN VILALLONGA dedicated himself to a life of service when he entered the Society of Jesus in at the age of He has been closely associated with the development of our Philippine nation since he was first assigned to teach at the Ateneo Municipal de Manila 67 years ago. Later, he became Rector of that fine institution, where many of our leaders have been trained, and served in other senior posts of his Order in our Islands. His example of discipline, erudition and simplicity and his abiding faith in man&#;s humanity to man have been an inspiration to generations of Filipinos. 

Twelve years ago, after he had held other high administrative positions of his Order in Spain, India and the Far East, he asked to come back to our country to serve the lepers at Culion. Today, at 92, he still ministers to their spiritual needs. A Chaplain extraordinary, Father VILALLONGA has shared the wisdom of his experience and the warmth of his understanding with those men, women and children who live in the banishment of a dread disease society has not yet learned to accept in its midst. 

TEE TEE LUCE has given abandoned and wayward boys off the streets of Rangoon not merely a roof and food but what they missed and needed most &#; a home and a share of her heart. 

Alarmed by the incidence of crime in her country, she spent a year studying and coming to know the deserted children who were its breeding ground.

Because as Secretary of National Defense he had become acutely aware of the plight of the small farmer during his military and economic fight against the Huks, and because this struggle was so closely related to his major goal of restoring the people&#;s faith in the government, his heart was most of all in that aspect of his program which he called “rural improvement.”

The rural improvement program was divided into two types of activity. The first entailed merely the extension and intensification of governmental services in rural areas&#;e.g. drilling of artesian wells, building irrigation systems, and expanding rural health services&#;and was designed to increase agricultural production and raise rural living standards. Because it involved merely the more rapid flow of government funds to rural areas, it engendered little or no opposition.

The second type of activity was designed in the long run to accomplish the same objectives, but in the process it became necessary to change the whole economic and social structure of Philippine rural life. Transformation of the existing pattern of agricultural credit, land tenure, and landlord-tenant relations may be called in their totality “agrarian reform.” Because there were not enough men with his own dedication to public service to fill all the important posts and because his concept of democratic decision-making gave more consideration to the views of the opponents of reform than the most rabid social reformers would have liked, agrarian reform under Magsaysay c
