Pacifico Ledesma left for Negros five weeks ago, and I was worried he was stuck there. Well, he showed up today. "Chico, I came back alive and that's what counts," he told me at least three times. When I informed him that the Japanese planned to annihilate all guerrillas in the Visayas, he said, "No doubt. They have to send men ... otherwise they'll be wiped out."
