VETERAN’S WIDOW. An 82-year-old woman claiming to be a war veteran’s widow saw this paper’s publisher Wednesday to air her concern over the $9,000 benefit intended for her husband who died a month ago. “Nganong di man kuno madawat sa biyuda ang benepisyo nga alang naman gyud to sa beteranong bana?” She wanted to know.
DYING VETERANS. A long retired Philippine Scout who has long been receiving retirement benefits from the US government expressed with sadness this observation: “At the rate they are releasing the $9,000 equity, many veteran beneficiaries will not be able to see the color of their money.” According to him many of the veterans are not only very old and sickly, some of them are dying. “Let’s face it,” he said.
