Gen. Paz has a theory the guns in Diguyo, Palanan may have been given by the CIA to the NPA not to destroy me and the Republic but to make us depend on the USA. The bullets are supposed to destroy the barrels of the guns after a while. Too ridiculous and farfetched. I do not buy it. But even if they did, they would now be pulling out of such a plot so we must give them a graceful way out. I attach a report of Sec. Ponce Enrile on info given by Ninoy Aquino. I have called Congress to another special session – the third. They have not passed the budget and the tax measures among others.
