Thursday, Jan. 11, 1940

Met for reconsideration of Maj. Castillo’s detail to school.

Had hot arguments re Laconico. Reyes moves for reconsideration of Villaflor. Garcia as usual shows share of lack of moral courage. He had made up his mind to send Laconico. Maybe Mrs. Alano has talked to him. Basis of selection — nothing.

Favouritism in the wind. Selection is illogical. If it is intended to select the best Filipino representation the records are available.

Laconico 6th in a class of probationaries in elementary gunnery. It is immoral for anyone to vote for Laconico in the face of known facts. De Jesus says he does not know Villaflor. A fine way to give a vote. Irregular. Garcia uses roadroller tactics because he is chairman. This is also immoral. Garcia objects to refer selection to Senior Ist at Dau for fear of adverse vote.
