| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Reconstructed diary (the original was burned when Bataan surrendered) of a promising young Filipino who was an Ateneo law student. Called to active duty with the USAFFE, Philip (as he was known to his friends) became aide de camp to Gen. Simon de Jesus of the Philippine Army's intelligence service. The memoirs and diary thus provide the point of view of an intelligence officer - occasionally sneaking into Japanese-occupied Manila - during the siege of Bataan. Very personal, the diary (entitled Random Notes) begins on December 23, 1941 and ends on April 8, 1942. The daily entries are followed by a narration of the death march, periodic entries while a prisoner of war in Camp O'Donnell. The book then jumps to September 21, 1944, the day American planes first bombed Manila since 1942. The diary resumes until Christmas 1944, with explicit descriptions of life in Manila at that time, as well as sentiments of Philip. An article by him, written for the Manila Free Philippines, is reprinted. Afterword by Zenaida (Nini) Quezon, Quezon's daughter who married Philip in 1947. Philip was by then a journalist and also aide of Quezon's widow - Mrs. Quezon, one of her daughters (Baby) and Philip were killed by renegade Huks in 1949. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
