Endorsement of the Civilian Liberation Volunteers to the PHILRYCOM
The Hunters-ROTC was a large guerrilla organization founded in Rizal but which relocated its headquarters to the western Batangas town of Nasugbu as the liberation of Luzon neared. It had many units operating in many areas of Luzon and its 49th Regiment was based in Batangas. The Civilian Liberation Volunteers was from all indications a group of labor volunteers who helped the US Army during the liberation of Batangas and was attached to the units of the Hunters-ROTC Guerrilla organization. In this page is a transcription1 of an endorsement letter from Eleuterio Adevoso, a.k.a. “Terry Magtangol/Magtanggol,” to the Philippines-Ryukyus Command (PHILRYCOM) recommending the recognition of the Civilian Liberation Volunteers
