Quirino-Foster
Agreement
The Report made several proposals, most noteworthy, of which were that
the United States should give the Philippines 250,000,000 dollars over a
period of five years, but the Philippines, in return, ought to reform its tax
structure, enact a minimum wage law for agricultural and industrial labor,
initiate social and land reforms, as well as a sound planning for economic
development, For all the strong language of the Report, which, in some
quarters merited bitter opposition, President Quirino gamely and
patriotically, took in the recommendations and sought to implement
them.
Thus in November 1950, President Quirino and William Foster,
representing theUnited States Government, signed an agreement by
virtue of which the former pledged to obtain the necessary Philippine
legislation, in keeping with the Bell Mission Report, while envoy Foster
promised the necessary by the same Report.

Bandung Conference
At one time in the course of the conference, Indian Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru acidly spoke against the SEATO.
Quick to draw, Ambassador Romulo delivered a stinging,
eloquent retort that prompted Prime Minister Nehru to
publicly apologize to the Philippine delegation.
Records had it that the Philippine delegation ably represented the interests of the
Philippines and, in the ultimate analysis, succeeded in turning the Bandung
Conference into a democratic victory against the plans of the Communist
delegates.

Austerity Program
In the face of the trying conditions of the country, President
Garca initiated what has been called "The Austerity
Program". Garca's administration was characterized by its
austerity program and its insistence on a comprehensive
nationalist policy. On March 3, 1960, he affirmed the need for
complete economic freedom and added that the government
no longer would tolerate the dominance of foreign interests
(especially American) in the national economy. He promised
to shake off "the yoke of alien domination in business, trade,
commerce and industry." Garca was also credited with his
role in reviving Filipino cultural arts.
Domestic Policies
Austerity Program
The main points of the Austerity Program were:
The government would tighten up its controls to prevent abuses in the over shipment
of exports under license and in under-pricing as well.
There would be a more rigid enforcement of the existing regulations on barter
shipments.
Government imports themselves were to be restricted to essential items.
The government also would reduce rice imports to a minimum.
An overhauling of the local transportation system would be attempted so as to reduce
the importation of gasoline and spare parts.
The tax system would be revised so as to attain more equitable distribution of the
payment-burden and achieve more effective collection from those with ability to pay.
There would be an intensification of food production.
The program was hailed by the people at large and confidence was expressed
that the measures proposed would help solve the standing problems of the
Republic.

Sabah
Claim
the territory ofNorth Borneo, and the full sovereignty, title and dominion over the
territory were ceded by the then reigning Sultan of Sulu, HM Sultan Muhammad
Esmail E. Kiram I, to theRepublic of the Philippines.
The cession effectively gave the Philippine government the full authority to pursue
their claim in international courts.
ThePhilippinesbroke diplomatic relations with Malaysia after the federation had
included Sabah in 1963.
It was revoked in 1989 because succeeding Philippine administrations have placed
the claim in the back burner in the interest of pursuing cordial economic and
security relations withKuala Lumpur.
To date, Malaysia continues to consistently reject Philippine calls to resolve the
matter of Sabah's jurisdiction to theInternational Court of Justice. Sabah sees the
claim made by the Philippines' Moro leader Nur Misuari to take Sabah to
International Court of Justice (ICJ) as a non-issue and thus dismissed the claim.
