In his ten months of command, Marcos has already defined and come to grips with the major problems outlined in his inaugural. Manila is overcentralized: the bulk of the nation's nascent industries (oil refineries, cement factories, textile mills, steel mills) are clustered around the city. Only half of the Philippines...
