At about 2 p.m. Mr. Nakashima informed me that Mr. Ferrer, chief clerk, and Mr. G. Sison, secretary to the Food Administrator, were wanted at Fort Santiago.
“Maybe it isn’t very serious.” explained Nakashima. “because they are not being taken. but called.”
I notified Ferrer immediately. No need describing his reaction. I sympathize with him.
Sison was not in the office, so I sent a messenger to his none to notify him. He was not there.
Somebody released from Fort Santiago said he saw Pagu. ‘‘His hands and feet were shackled and there was blood on his shirt,’’ the man whispered.
That is why there are revolutions. There is more than just oratory to Patrick Henry’s “Liberty or Death!”
