Primitivo Mijares Testimony in US Congress<br />

"After our last footnote updating this paper, Marcos’ top confidential<br />

press man, Primitivo Mijares, Chairman of the Media Advisory Council and<br />

twice President of the National Press Club with Marcos' support, testified in the<br />

U.S. (House) Subcommittee on International Organizations which held<br />

hearings on violations of human rights in South Korea and the Philippines.<br />

Mr. Marcos attempted to bribe Mijares with $100,000 not to testify but<br />

the latter spumed the bribe. Marcos denied the attempted bribery but from a<br />

scrutiny of Mijares' testimony, the statement of denial and the circumstances<br />

described, the prob ability favors Mijares. Mr. Marcos denied<br />

mainly the reported bnliery but not the contents of the testimony of his erstwhile<br />

confidential press man. Considering that Mijares was an "insider” in the<br />

Philippines, Mijares' testimony carries much weight.<br />

Diosdado Macapagal Statement<br />

"If Mijares were not credible, he would not have merited refutation by<br />

Mr. Marcos himself as well us a formal exculpatory inquiry into the Mijares<br />

charges by the senior Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs " — DIOSDADO P.<br />

MACAPAGAL, former President of the Philippines, in his latest book,<br />

Democracy in the Philippines.<br />
