4 A recent MSA-PHILCUSA report has been released on this problem: Report and Recommendations Concerning Agriculture Credit in the Philippines by John L. Cooper, 1952Google Scholar, mimeographed, 88 pages. As of the first of the year, the Central Bank had approved a number of applications for the establishment of rural banks in Laguna, Rizal, Pangasinan, Cebu City, and Batangas to list a few of the locations. Whether or not their fate will be that of previous attempts to extend credit to rural areas only the future can tell. It is reported that Viva Zapata, a film dealing with agrarian rebellion in Mexico, has not been permitted to be shown in the Philippines.
