Commendation for Lt. Pacifico Cuevas of the San Jose Guerrillas

1. 1^st Lt. Pacifico B. Cuevas, a leader in the SAN JOSE GUERRILLA UNIT, was assigned to my command since the month of March to control the Platoon which was attached to my Unit for over a month. After my mission was completed in the Barrio of San Jose, Batangas, 1^st Lt. Pacifico B. Cuevas left his Guerrilla Unit in order to fight with my American Company until present date. The last mission our Company received was the Combat Jump at Aparri in Northern Luzon, in which the above soldier took part.

2. 1^st Lt. Pacifico B. Cuevas was an excellent soldier at all times. He commanded his Platoon in a very outstanding manner. The high respect his men held for him showed his capabilities as an Officer. He was well trained in patrolling and by such, helped my company in many instances. He later showed his nerve by making a Combat Jump with my Unit in Northern Luzon, without any previous training at all. This was the first time 1^st Lt. Pacifico B. Cuevas ever made a ride in a plane, however, with a little instruction, he did an excellent job. This proves beyond a doubt his ability to succeed, and the five months he served with me, gave me great confidence in him.
