Am a little miserable from the extraction of my upper right wisdom tooth, decayed from the repair work after the war from the beatings I got in Fort Santiago. That is the 3rd tooth that goes in a week.
And my upper left bicuspid that was apparently root-canaled many years ago is paining me.
So I am taking anti-biotics that always make me feel funny.
Worked on prices again. More dollars for imports ($2 million monthly for essential canned goods and $1.8 for milk). Have ordered the GMFTM [Greater Manila Food Terminal Market] to initiate rolling stores and supply commissaries to be put up by public and private corporations. Recombined milk now being produced by factories working at half their capacity will be working a full capacity to fill up 1/2 of requirement—150,000 [cans?].
But we must pass the export tax of 15% and 10% so that there will be no speculation on exports, there will be more dollars and there can be a reasonable estimate of costs which cannot be done with the present floating rate.
Same with the price and rent control law.
No Official Gazette entry for this day.
