Just came from the dinner of [Geronimo] Ronnie and Linda Velasco at their home in Dasmariñas. Sang the old songs, Red Sails in the Sunset, Balalaika, Goodnight, Sweetheart, etc.
[Alejandro] Alex Melchor [Jr.] and his parlour games. The rope trick and the blanket.
I have ordered Makati as the pilot area for the registration of firearms and the organization of weekend warriors.
De Leon, our asset on the Samar Training Camp who reported the death of three of his companions, two from Central Luzon, on the way to the training camp (drowned in the rapids) was subjected by [Sergio] Osmeña [Jr.], Nic Tumulak and security group to questioning and lie detector test. Osmeña may have finally cleared but he is being sent to Sulu. He excused himself as still being too sick. I believe they intend to liquidate him. We should now submerge him.
We must check the Iloilo situation. We will put up seven intelligence groups as permanent operating units with lateral and vertical channels of communication. Thus one unit would be covering the two islands of Negros and Panay. This is the possible hotbed of dissidence in the South.
