I have no doubt many mUBt ;lave been poisoned with the ennui of prejudiced opinions but here my dfar friends let us not be nasty to believe this and that. I am not asking you to believe me but I am asking you to think twice before you will write the name of your choice for Presic!.ent. · NATIONAL WEEKLY October 8, 1949 Much have been said and published about the Presidential candidate Jose A velin'o, the m1sted 1President of the Senate and the same is true to the Presidential aspirant Dr. ,Jose Laurel, the Puppet ·President of Japanese made Philippine Republic. Much lia:ve been published also against President Quirino President Quirino with President Trama n. Behind them from left to right are Ambassador Joaquin Elizald~. Ambas_sador Myron M. Cowen and Secretary of State Dea.n Ach~son. ·Why I Will Vote For Quirino who was branded by some By MIGUEL D.
