It is also expected that in our day-to-day contact with the people we can effectively transmit to them such information about Martial Law and the New Society. It may be mentioned that recently the President decried the fact that many government officials seem not to know what is happening in the government, particularly present efforts to reform the political, social and economic structure of Philippine Society.
