Our political exiles in the United States led by Raul S. Manglapus, Raul Daza, Bonifacio Gillego, Juan Frivaldo, Heherson Alvarez, etc. have reported on their doings in that country and have given the lie to the epithet, "steak commandoes," coined by a discredited columnist.

I wish our political exiles in China would also report on their doings. While no one ever called them something like "Dim Sum dissenters," very many of us have the impression that they didn’t do very much. If this impression is correct, they should tell us why they didn’t. Was it because they would not or because they could not? Otherwise, it is just a matter of time before someone labels them the "Peking lame ducks."
