Recently, Mr. Jaime Ongpin commented about economic development and Dr. Leoploldo M. Gripaldo, professor of economic and political philosophy in Mindanao State University says these statements are "pure kalokohan" (Mr. & Ms., Feb. 22-28).

If Mr. Ongpin is really crazy like Dr. Gripaldo says, Mr. Ongpin should be fired out already from being manager of Benguet Mining Co. and he will be now having a job which needs only little intelligence like teaching philosophy (where no one majors anyway) in the province.
