Memoirs and diaries of Felipe Buencamino III,
Description
Reconstructed diary (the original was burned when Bataan surrendered) of a promising young Filipino who was an Ateneo law student. Called to active duty with the USAFFE, Philip (as he was known to his friends) became aide de camp to Gen. Simon de Jesus of the Philippine Army’s intelligence service.
The memoirs and diary thus provide the point of view of an intelligence officer – occasionally sneaking into Japanese-occupied Manila – during the siege of Bataan. Very personal, the diary (entitled Random Notes) begins on December 23, and ends on April 8, The daily entries are followed by a narration of the death march, periodic entries while a prisoner of war in Camp O’Donnell. The book then jumps to September 21, , the day American planes first bombed Manila since The diary resumes until Christmas , with explicit descriptions of life in Manila at that time, as well as sentiments of Philip.
