Played golf in Kaniao at The Mansion at 6:15 AM. Cold and unfamiliarly bundled in thick clothes. No feel on the clubs with Gen. [Romeo] 1Espino, Gov. [Ben] Palispis and Mayor [Luis] Lardizabal.
Opened the new cemented road at the end of session road.
Then took off at 9:55 AM after departure honors.
I have decided today to set aside P20 million for six Kamagong Battalions, two PC [Philippine Constabulary] and two Marine Battalions.
The Zamboanga del Sur, Sulu and Cotabato situations are under control. The Rangers are mopping up in Labangnn. Sulu is quiet. The rebels are cornered in Basilan. Cotabato is quieting down. Only a few skirmishes.
The use of napalm bombs has demoralized the rebels.
No Official Gazette entry for this day.
