September 8, 1947

APO 707
S i r :
I have the honor to request that exception be made of our case relative to the order of your good office fixing the recognition date of guerrilla organizations and/or units in the Islands. In this connection, I feel constrained to state that our guerrilla unit, the Batangas Intelligence Unit, failed to take, in due time, the necessary steps for its recognition for reasons beyond its control. As commanding officer of the Unit, I had in my custody all the pertinent papers regarding our organization and was, therefore, the proper person who should have taken the requisite steps for the recognition of the unit. Unfortunately, however, I was hurriedly sent away by the USAFFE HQ on January 8, 1945 to the United States for [a] Refresher Pilot Course, without having sufficient time to entrust the matter of recognition of our unit to another member of the organization. Consequently, no steps whatsoever could have been taken to secure the early recognition of this unit, and for the same reason, the failure to secure recognition could not be attributed could not be attributed [to] any negligence on our part.
For ready reference, we have the honor to enclose herewith the chronological history of the unit.
Knowing of your zealous attitude to do justice to the deserving, we cannot but anticipate your favorable consideration of our request.
Very respectfully,
RAMON LIMJOCO
