Wednesday
Stayed up the whole night up to 7:00 AVi because of the pain in my left foot. But I read. I finished the book The Man – the story of a negro becoming president of the U.S his impeachment and victory,
The slept up to 12:30 AM when I was awakened by the kiss of Imelda who arrived from Tacloban (where it is still raining) with the children.
Slept again after lunch, a shower and meeting with the doctors (Dr. Canto) from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
Then met the delegates to the Concon from the north. We spoke of their needs. And it looks like the parliamentary form of government and unicameralism will triumph.
Also saw Sen. Pres. Puyat and Sec. Constancio Castañeda as well as Cong. Danding Cojuangco who is worried about the NPA’s in Tarlac.
I attach an interesting letter of Guino de Vega.
