The remarkable life of Blas F. Ople
“The world pays a premium not for occasional flashes of brilliance but for sustained commitments to the performance of tasks.”—Blas F. Ople
On Feb. 3, 1927, a baby to be later named Blas Fajardo Ople, was brought into the world by Segundina and Felix Ople. The couple chose the name Blas after Saint Blaise, whose feast day was on the same day.
The Blas they raised in a tiny house at the village of San Miguel, Hagonoy town, Bulacan province would grow up to become one of the country’s most revered statesmen.
As a child, Blas was frail and sickly. That he did not have an easy life became a recurring theme in his writings.
In an essay for a Bulacan paper, he wrote:
When I was a boy, growing up in Bulacan, of a fragile constitution and uncertain health, I thought I wouldn’t live beyond twenty. I overcame these frailties through hard manual labor, as a farm worker and as a fisherman along the Manila Bay, and later, as a stevedore in Manila’s North Harbor. In my most private moments, I tried negotiating with God to let me live to the age of 35.
The sickly child would grow up to be a warrior, enlisting in the guerrilla movement to fight the Japanese army.

Kit and Larry: The boys in the back room
By Quijano de Manila
July 1970–THE boys in the back room will have been there a year come August and they’re moving towards their first anniversary amid distressing rumors that the first shall be the last.
The back room is the Malacañang Press Office and the boys supposedly besieged there are Kit and Larry—or, to give them their official titles, Press Secretary Francisco Tatad and Assistant Press Secretary Lorenzo Cruz. From their back room come the Palace bulletins on what’s happening in the front room, for their job is to report on the President, as well as hand out the chronicles on the Palace gathered for the front page. Their other job is to act as liaison between the press and the President.
How well have they been doing their twin job?
There is said to be some dissatisfaction with the President’s image these days and, of course, the Press Office gets part of the blame. Discontent with its work has been read into two recent happenings: the removal of the press secretary from the cabinet, and the appearance of Government Report as the publicizer of the executive office.
On the other hand, the newsmen whose regular beat is the Palace are also said to be not quite happy about how the Press Office facilitates their cover
