Corregidor
Quiet, uneventful trip crossing Bay. Gatas depressed when he heard President no longer here. He said he heard of it but he was not sure.
Life here is very boring. No action. It’s all going in and out of the tunnel. When there is a raid, just go in the tunnel. After its over, you go out and breathe the fresh air.
After raids, officers always ask: “When will the convoy arrive?”
Placards have been posted around the Rock prohibiting discussion of military matters.
Ate three times. First, with officers in tunnel; then with Filipino officers in barracks; third, with Marines.
Arranged insurance papers of officers in our unit. Capt. Pepe Razon was very helpful. He is a finance officer. Gatas fixed Lim’s salary. His wife will collect for him.
Romulo said that Col. Manuel Roxas is being called by the President to Mindanao but that Roxas does not like to leave the Rock.
Romulo wanted me to take part in a script for tomorrow’s Voice of Freedom broadcast but the General said I had to be back by 6 p.m.
Heard another batch of Americans and Filipinos to be given DSC for bravery in the front.
