This account is derived from an earlier published version of a Mrs. "Woody" Willoughby, whose husband was stationed in Manila, Philippine Islands, at the time of the outbreak of the war with Japan. Mr. Willoughby was an accountant and member of the US Army’s Intelligence division known as G-2, and reported directly to General MacArthur’s staff and conducted liaison duties with the Vice President and Chief Justice of the Philippine Islands. Mrs. Willoughby assisted her husband to inventory a portion of the private holdings of the Philippine National Treasury. 

This account is but just one version of many surrounding the Philippine National Treasury, all of which, when reviewed in entirety, assist in completing the puzzle associated with the safeguarding of the Philippine Central Bank securities.

The transcript is quoted verbatim from the actual text with no editing or changes in any form.
