Mr. Vicente Galvez
Balayan, Batangas
Philippines
Dear Mr. Galvez:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 25 June 1947, requesting information relative to your status as the commanding officer of the Pioneer Balayan Town Guerrillas, Bahia-Deguito Unit, FAIT.
The Pioneer Town Guerrillas, Bahia-Deguito Unit, FAIT, was recognized by this headquarters on 19 February 1947, at strength of 42, for the period of 15 July 1944 to 15 February 1945. The recognized roster contains the names of Lieutenants Buenaventura de Guzman, Julian Teserero, and 40 enlisted men. Your name does not appear on this recognized roster.
Recognition was extended only to the most deserving members of the unit. Investigation revealed that the remaining members of the unit failed signally to attain to the standards required to substantiate official recognition as members of the Philippine Army in the service of the Armed Forces of the United States. They were, therefore, not favorably considered for recognition.
Sincerely,
THOMAS J BROWN
