I hope the public does not give all kinds of meanings to this statement. But I am bitter and angry! June 4, Sunday I have just answered a letter of Concon (Constitutional Convention) President [Diosdado] Macapagal where he asks whether I or Imelda are running for President in 1972. I wrote him through [Information Secretary Francisco] Kits Tatad that neither Imelda nor I intend to run—I because I am disqualified by the Constitution from a third term and Imelda because she has no intention to do so… Apparently President Macapagal has decided to lay the blame on me for the failure of the convention. Assassination plot June 8, Wednesday The plot to assassinate me has been confirmed by one of the co-conspirators paid in advance of P4,000. This was supposed to take place on Independence Day, June 12th.
