Volume 1, First Issue

The Magazine’s Name and Its First Cover

After two meetings for that purpose, it became a close contest among President Ruben M. Lacanienta’s Ang Ilaw, Joel Macariola’s Ang Pahatid and Leon C. Rodriguez’ Bagong Tinig, the last two being from Makati II Ward … and, of course, TAMBULI.

Many submitted the winning name, the first two of whom were Roberto Culas of Parañaque Ward and President Baltazar G. Federico of the San Fernando, La Union Branch. President Federico even wrote a short piece about his entry, which appears on page 33 of this issue. Both winners may now look forward to receiving 12 free issues.

Acknowledgments are also due to Philippines Manila Mission President Raymond L. Goodson who conceived the idea for the cover and to Roger B. Molinos, staff artist, by whose brush the desired art presentation was executed.

When word was flashed early in March that the Saints in the Philippines will have a magazine of their own and that naming it must be through an open contest among members, the ensuing response was so brisk that the Committee assigned to select the appropriate name had varied moments of indecision.
