SONZA DR. GRACIANO LOPEZ JAENA FOUNDATION, INC. Iloilo City, Philippines 2002 �Copyright 1988 by Demy P. Sonza All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form without permission from the author. �GRACIANO LOPEZ JAENA Photo courtesy of Mr. & Mrs. Jose Lopez �Preface to the Third Edition This third edition of Mightier Than the Sword became necessary for two reasons. First, copies of the 2nd edition have been exhausted and, second, the Dr. Graciano Lopez Jaena Foundation is raising money to put up the Memorial Shrine of the hero at his birthplace in Jaro, Iloilo City. Proceeds from the sale of this book shall go to the fund for the building of the Shrine. The author shall not collect any royalty from this edition of his work. A few pictures included in the previous editions of the book have been changed with new photographs that are more relevant to the story of Lopez Jaena. The author joins other ardent admirers of Graciano Lopez Jaena in the campaign to build a memorial worthy of the first Filipino Propagandist and the greatest orator the Philippines has ever produced. Demy P. Sonza CPU, Jaro, Iloilo City 06 January 2003 �Preface to the Second Edition The first edition ofthis book came out in 1964, some 24 years ago. We assigned only one Filipiniana book dealer in Manila as distributor but we were surprised that the edition was sold out in a relatively short time. The book was included among the works of selected Filipino authors for display in Philippine embassies and consulates abroad. In Iloilo, however, the sale ofthe book was not so good because ofinadequate promotion and marketing. The increasing interest in Lopez Jaena among the Ilonggos these past few years is a welcomed thing. For some time now friends have been suggesting that we reprint the book so that more people would be able to know Lopez Jaena and his works. The opportunity to do this came when the Graciano Lopez Jaena Press Foundation offered to be the publisher. The Philippine Press In­ stitute. by deciding to undertake an exhibit on Lopez Jaena in Manila this coming December, also helped encourage the reprinting of this humble volume. I am grateful to the Graciano Lopez Jaena Press Foundation for making the publication of this second edition possible. One important difference between the first and the present editions is the expanded bibliography. This was done to help researchers and students who may wish to read more about the hero from Jaro. DemyP. Sonza CPU, Iloilo City 15 September 1988 �Preface to the First Edition It is both sad and strange that the first Filipino to set out on the Propaganda Movement for his country’s freedom has found very few among his countrymen who have been interested in perpetuat­ ing his memory and popularizing his name. Graciano Lopez Jaena has been relegated to the background in his people’s estimation of Filipino national heroes. He died for his country some sixty-eight years ago yet this is only the first attempt to publish a book on his life and labors. Challenged by the seeming neglect ofLopez Jaena, the author undertook the writing of the hero’s biography under very limited resources. Fortunately, Dr. A.O. Larsen, former president of Central Philippine University, provided the research money, first from his own pocket and later from Central Philippine University. The Philippine Historical Association further inspired the writer by publishing a shorter version of this work in its journal, The Historical Bulletin. Atty. Orlando M. Hernando now with the University ofthe Philippines Iloilo College and Dr. F. Landa Jocano of the National Museum also offered valuable suggestions and encouragement. Dr. Joseph T. Howard, CPU president, has also encouraged the author by his deep interest in Lopez Jaena while Remigio N. Heredia, the most ardent Lopez Jaena enthusiast in Jaro, also gave much help. Likewise, the members of the Iloilo Press and Radio Club further spurred the writer to push through the publication ofthe work. Special mention should be made of Pelagio N. Gomez who helped in the editing and proofreading and of Rodrigo Salvarita for designing the cover of the book. Finally, credit for the printing ofthis book should go to Vice Mayor Benigno G. Hinolan ofMurcia, Negros Occidental, author of a shorter work entitled The Life of Graciano Lopez Jaena (1923) who generously offered to finance the publication. Presi­ dent Soban C. Singh of the Federation ofProvincial Press Clubs; Col. Alejo F. Alvares, Iloilo PC commander, Mariano M. Diolosa, and Jose Fabales also pitched in their contributions The author would like to acknowledge his indebtedness and express his appreciation to the above-mentioned friends. The short­ comings and faults of the book, however, are all his own. D.P.S. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource No man is an island: Selected speeches and lectures Subject The topic of the resource Speeches, addresses, etc. Description An account of the resource The speeches and lectures selected for this book were delivered at different places and before various audiences. The purpose for collecting and putting them in book form is not only to make them better understood and last longer, but also to make them reach a wider audience.<br /><br />The title “No Man Is An Island” was chosen because it expresses the central theme common to all the speeches and lectures. This theme is that man does not live by himself and for himself alone, but he also lives with and for his fellowmen. Of course, as the reader may find out, the speeches and lectures also dwell on other subjects of wide and lasting import.

He was poor and uneducated but he had a dream for his children. He told me the dream when I was still a boy. <br /><br />The twenty-nine stories included in this book reveal the kind of man my father was. In presenting these stories to the public, I do not intend to glorify my father. I simply wish to share with the readers these tales of love and care, of struggles and dreams, of homespun philosophy and wit, which I hope they will find interesting, entertaining, and perhaps edifying.

Then a year or so later, another friend who worked as a librarian in America said to me, "You can consider yourself a fulfilled writer. You have been listed by the Library of Congress." Intrigued by those statements of friends, I asked my brother Ed to make a survey of libraries to find out where copies of my works, especially books, are located. A literary work is the writer's brain-child. To the author of the works in this Directory, it is a great pleasure to know that his "children" have spread to many countries around the world.
