HQ, MIS, Bataan
Japs attempting to penetrate western sector by putting pressure on 1st regular division. Continuous artillery bombardment in eastern front. Three raids this morning in rear areas. Rodriguez Park and Cabcaben dock subjected to intense bombing.
Saw many planes flying in direction of the Rock. On their return, they strafed Mariveles airfield.
Laborers still levelling Mariveles Field. Giant derricks rearing in eastern side of field all day. Do they still expect planes?
Boys fired at a low-flying plane near HPD. The plane turned out to be one of our fighters. We still have four.
Saw several tanks and anti-tanks moving towards eastern front. What does that mean?
(later)
Major Javallera is a dull fellow.
He was insisting that the Pampangueña he visits is nicer than the one I visit because “she is better built, curvier, you know…”
I said that the Pampangueña I visit is more intelligent and entertaining and her features are finer and proportionate.
He said: “Ah, I like a curvy body, with lots of dynamite”. “Like that!” he gestured with his hands, indicating the hips.
I said: “The trouble with you Major is that you have no esthetic sense.”
He answered: ” Of course not, I’m not a radio. What you mean –static?”
Those listening laughed.
The Major laughed too but he did not know why.
Gatas Santos is here. Will bring him to rock.
