Diary of Antonio de las Alas

September 15, 1945, Saturday

September 6, 2013
September 15, 1945, Saturday

All of us had been anxiously awaiting our turn to be released. About ten o'clock this morning, Recto announced that he was leaving that morning. I went to the Administration Office to ascertain whether I was being released also. Mr. Bunye, the Superintendent, read and reread the list of detainees turned over by the C.I.C...

September 6, 2013

Visit of family. I saw Victor, my new grandson, son of Paddy and Lily, for the first time. Since my arrival, I had been conferring with the detainees of Muntinglupa and getting impressions. All seem to be very disappointed. They do not understand how we could be traitors. Even old Don Miguel Unson was bitter...

My family again visited me. Roxas came again. He told us he could not pardon Osmeña for stating that Quezon would have preferred death than cooperate with the Japanese.

Senator Eulogio Rodriguez came to visit us. Like Roxas and Arranz he came to offer his services. He is working for Osmeña. Both sides are campaigning hard but those for Roxas seem to be more active. I tried to be non-committal in view of our case.

September 6, 2013

My family visited me. I was very happy as I had not seen them since I left them in Tubao on April 19, 1945. It was the birthday of my wife and I celebrated it by going to confession. That same day we got a good glimpse of the political situation. Among our first visitors..

September 6, 2013

We took our breakfast at 5:00 o'clock. At 6:00 o'clock we were on our way to the airport. I could not explain why when we parted from each other most of us were silent and in tears. It was probably because we were not so optimistic as to what will be done to us in..

September 1, 2013

Yesterday I began to pack. Everybody was surprised as they knew that I had also become a pessimist. I told them we were going before next Sunday. Zulueta inquired, "On what do you base your opinion we are leaving soon?" I reasoned out that I expect MacArthur would turn us over to the Commonwealth immediately..

September 1, 2013

I wrote a letter to my wife, congratulating her on the occasion of her birthday on September 9. How painful! This is the first time I will not be with her on her birthday. I also told her to have Paddy and Monching arrange my bail so that when I arrive in Manila, I shall..

September 1, 2013

We seem to have been forgotten, not only by the Americans but also by our own government, and even by our most intimate friends. Is Osmeña decided not to help us? With so many planes and other means of transportation, is it not possible to ship us to Manila? Why was it that when we..
