Description

About the book, "Trash And Treasures" The column Make My Day, Larry Henares says, is a morality play with its own sets of villains and heroes. Here in this book he elaborates. Among the heroes are the nationalists, the liberals and the industrialists, such as: Elena Lim, the intrepid pioneer and lady entrepreneur; George Canseco, the nationalist and romantic song-writer who has captured the heart of the nation; Anding Roces, Secretary of Education, who recovered the stolen Rizal masterpieces, Mi Ultimo Adios, the Noli and the Fili; JV Cruz, his classmate, with whom he discovered the plagiarism of Carlos P. Romulo; and Jullie Daza, the vestal virgin who throws flowers to the moon. Among the villains of Larry Henares' Make My Day are colonial Technoquacks who spout gobble-de-gook to confuse and not to enlighten; the thieving Spanish Ambassador; the CIA agent Prosterman, sent here to prostitute our land Reform program, the multinational corporations and all the foreign agencies who prostitute our nationalist economic program - to which Henares devotes a full 10-part series, written for the government's Technology Resource Center. He writes of the dying movie industry, the vibrant genius of the Filipino race; demise of the high and the mighty; and of a 6-part series on Eternal Russia; the fruit of an official delegation sent by President Marcos to negotiate a trade and friendship treaty with the Soviets. He writes of the lessons for Independence Day. Will Socialism survive? Larry asks, in the wake of the collapse of the mighty Soviet Communist monolith. And lastly he tells of the limits of Taxation, which if unchecked may lead to the bankruptcy and death of our nation. ------------------------ Foreword by Senator Lorenzo M. Tañada Written for Larry Henares' book, Behold the Radiance December 15, 1965 The function of a foreword is to introduce a book, and often, too, its author. The function of this particular foreword is simplified by the circumstance that it is possible to speak about the present work and its author at one and the same time. The author probably needs no introduction to most of us, who try to be familiar with the contemporary Philippine scene. Mr. Henares is well-known in business, economic and political circles not only for his executive enterprise but, more significantly, for his earnestly and honestly expressed views in Nationalism. Because of these views, Mr. Henares is not uncontroversial. But above whatever controversy may turn around his figure, the facts remains that he has held many high and responsible positions in business, education and government, that he has reached far and done much. Done much, too, it must be said, for his country which so desperately needs at the present stage of its economic development, that breed of men who, in Mr. Henares' own words, will not "pay the price of subjection in order to develop." This in fact is what the present work is about - a collection of Mr. Henares' writings over the years on why and how "we need not succumb in order to grow .... we need not pay the price of subjection in order to develop." It seems a shame that even today Filipino voices can still be heard insisting that the price of growth is surrender, the price of development, subjection, that the Filipino is unable or unwilling to tighten his belt in the time of austerity which all young nations must go through before attaining a sovereign, self-respecting and wholesome maturity.
