I have just finished autographing the books and other literature Imelda is bringing as gifts to India, Iran, England and the U.S. What a chore!
And we saw the Liberal’s film of Plaza Miranda which included some interviews of the Liberal candidates. Pure and simple bathos and propaganda. And the Comelec [Commission on Elections] admitted it as a documentary!
So we have to counteract it.
Spent the morning working on the campaign—letters of appeal, radio and TV time, schedules etc. etc.
Still raining in the afternoon. So I could only practice golf at the driving range and then exercise before showers.
Working also on The Vision of Liberation and a proposed Constitution.
Official Gazette for October 5, 1971: President Marcos once more concentrated on official papers and other urgent state business. The President started his desk work at 9:30 a.m., breaking off at way past noon for lunch and a brief rest. He was back at his private study at 3 p.m. for the resumption of his paper work, which lasted till early evening.
