Section 1
SECTION 1. The judge of a Court of First Instance of each province may appoint guardians for the persons and estates, or either of them, of minors who are beneficiaries of the United States Veterans' Bureau and who are inhabitants or residents of the province or who reside without the Philippine Islands and have estates within the province. Such appointment may be made on petition of the Manila Branch of the United States Veterans' Bureau which is hereby authorized to ask that it be represented by the Bureau of Justice in all court proceedings involving such guardianship. Before the appointment of a guardian takes effect, the judge must require of such guardian a bond to the minor in an amount not less than the sum then due and estimated to be payable by the said Bureau during the ensuing year.
