For brevity, the activities herein above described are in the form of generalities. It should be stated also that throughout the existence of this guerrilla unit, its objectives set forth in an order issued 1 July 1943, by our CO have not been lost sight of; neither have we deviated from the provisions of [the] Commonwealth Constitution in the attainment of such objectives. Our unit subsisted from voluntary contributions of Officers & Civilians. This unit established the provisional civil government in Ibaan, Batangas, before its total liberation by the U S Forces. For a detailed account of our activities during our attachment, please see the files of the Grla Hqs.
