The FREE PRESS Story

By Filemon V. Tutay

Highlights of its first 50 years, including its wobbly start, its many libel suits and how the publisher was nearly deported.

August 30, 1958—WHEN R. McCulloch Dick first thought of starting a paper of his own over 50 years ago, he was editor of the old Manila Times with a handsome salary of P550 a month. He had two weeks’ vacation coming to him and one day he told Martin Egan, the Times’ managing editor and Associated Press correspondent, that he wanted to take the two weeks off and canvass some businessmen to find out what they thought of his idea to put out his own paper.

Egan, who also left the Times later and joined the business firm of J.P. Morgan & Co. in New York, replied simply: “All right, go ahead!”

During the couple of weeks that followed, Dick made the rounds and consulted about a dozen businessmen, most of whom had their offices on the Escolta. Only two of the businessmen were in favor, a few had their doubts, while the rest predicted failure for his project.

Even in my trips to cities in the Visayas and Mindanao in the past, it was not uncommon to see a street or side street that was named TM Kalaw or just Kalaw. Lipa born and raised that I am, I have always suspected that the man after whom these streets are named must have been from Batangas. The surname is common enough in the province and even more so in the City of Lipa.

TM Kalaw was Teodoro Manguiat Kalaw, born 31 March 1884 in Lipa City. Anyone from hereabouts instantly recognizes that his middle name is also a common enough Batangas or even Lipa surname.

According to Jorge Mojarro, Kalaw was still a teenager when he first became interested and involved in journalism while still living in the then-town of Lipa. After finishing his basic schooling, he left Lipa for Manila to study law at the Escuela de Derecho.¹
