Will organize a new Dept. on Housing. Set up nine regional hospitals for specialization.
Approved the plan of Ex. Sec. O. D. [Onofre] Corpuz to bet up a Development Institute in Tagaytay.
And I approved the plan of Danding [Eduardo] Cojuangco [Jr.] and Romy Gatan to surface Commander Pusa [Benjamin Sanguyo] because apparently his NPA [New People’s Army] comrades know he has surrendered.
