U.S. gives list of money Marcos took
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Rea
gan administration said Wednes
day it was providing the Phil
ippine government “in a spirit,of
cooperation” with an inventory of
22 crates of pesos flown out of
Manila with former President
Ferdinand Marcos last week.
The currency could be worth
more than $1 million, according
to some estimates. Other Marcos
holdings, including jewels and
documents, were contained in an
additional 278 crates also re
moved from the country on U.S.
Air Force cargo planes after he
resigned under pressure.
The Central Bank of the Phil
ippines requested an accounting
through the U.S. District Court in
H onolulu. Marcos and his wife,
Imelda, have taken refuge in Ha
waii while they consider President
Reagan’s offer of safe haven and
medical care.
The State Department has ad
vised Philippine officials “we will
provide them with additional in
formation” about the contents of
the other crates, spokesman Ber
nard Kalb said.
Jovito R. Salonga, who heads a
Philippine commission charged
with recovering the Marcoses
wealth, has estimated the assets.of
the former president, his wife
and their friends at $5 billion to
$10 billion.
That total would represent sev
eral times the Philippine national
budget for 1985 of $3.1 billion.

Her top military advisers had ar
gued the four men should not be
freed unconditionally.
Sison acknowledged at a news
conference a few hours after his re
lease that he founded the Commu
nist Party of the Philippines in 1968
and led the armed struggle against
the Marcos government until his
capture in November 1977.
He had refused throughout his
imprisonment to answer questions
about his party role.
Buscayno, who was captured in
August 1976, was the alleged com
mander of the party’s New People’s
Army guerrillas and was known as
Commander Dante.
The two other men released were
Alexander Birondo and Ruben
Alegre.
Both were arrested within the past
two years.
Cardinal Jaime L. Sin, archbishop
of Manila, said in Rome that the esti
mated 12,500 insurgents might sur
render this month because “there’s
no reason for them to stay in the
mountains” with Marcos gone.
Sin, who led the nation’s Roman
Catholic bishops in support of
Aquino, was on a visit to the Vatican.
Sison told journalists, however,
that there is no certainty that the re
bels will lay down their arms.
Saguisag said 517 political prison
ers have been ordered released.
The military says it has no more
such prisoners, but Saguisag said the
government was checking reports by
human rights organizations that up
to 200 people listed as common
criminals may be held for political
reasons.
At the Malacanang presidential
palace, Aquino waved from a win
dow to people strolling on the park
like grounds and told officials ac
companying her that the opulent,
Spanish-style mansion “looks like a
hotel.”
More members of the Supreme
Court offered resignations Wednes
day, leaving only two or three of the
tribunal’s 13 justices resisting Mrs.
Aquino’s demand that they quit so
she can reorganize the judiciary.
