Written at 7:30 AM
April 23rd Sunday
as I came in at 1:00 AM,
this morning and Imelda who
was in had felt like talking
while I lay in bed fully clothed
“Sec. [Vicente] Abad Santos, kania naman tayo napapahirapan sa pamahalaan, napasok pala tayo nang kalaban.” I told the UP [University of the Philippines] Law Alumni Association at Club Pilipino last night (Saturday night) as the 1922 class celebrated its golden jubilee. Sec. Abad Santos is the president of the association.
“Sila Bert Cacnio at si [Francisco] Soc Rodrigo tumanda na ang katawan ngunit hindi nagiiba ang kaisipan. Parejo sila ni Pilita na ang ulo nasa isang bagay lamang.” Pilita had sung insinuating sexy songs while the two kept telling dirty jokes.
“Kailangan malakas ang sikmura natin upang mapakingan ang manga kawalanghiaan.”
“Si Pilita, parang Liberal, tukso nang tukso ngunit pagka birahin mo, umiiyak naman.”
These are some of the remarks I made in the dinner before I awarded the plaque to the outstanding alumnus Justice J. B. L. Reyes.
We spent the whole morning in Talaga Bay where we arrived at 7:30 AM water skiing with Mariola [Maria del Carmen Martinez-Bordiu] ([Francisco] Franco’s granddaughter), Bea Roxas (daughter of Eduardo), Alfredo, Chiqui Gonzales, Chito Gonzales, Bongbong, Miguelito Vazquez.
Mariola is a good skier—slaloms on one ski.
Bongbong left by KLM [Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij – Royal Dutch Airlines] at 5:30p.m. Met Mobiloils at Malacañang.
Official Gazette for April 22, 1972: THE PRESIDENT closeted himself in his private study and went over piles of state papers in the morning and afternoon.
Early in the evening he stood as sponsor at the wedding of Rora Navarro, daughter of Rep. Constantino Navarro, held at the Santuario de San. Antonio, Forbes Park in Makati, Rizal.
After the wedding, the President proceeded to the Club Filipino at Greenhills, San Juan, Rizal where he was guest of honor at the U.P. Law Alumni Association dinner.
The President presented the plaque and award to “the most distinguished alumnus of 1972.”
The Chief Executive was back in Malacañang late in the evening.
The rest of the entry is cut off.
