1, President Quirino and his brother, Antonio, are now of the opinion that
the.period of their political influence in the Philippines is coming to
an end. As a result of this conclusion, they are proceeding on the as-
sumption that after the 1953 Philippine elections,'they will not retain
the same influence which they now possess.
2. Because of this estimate of the political future of President Quirino
and himself,, Antonio Quirino is now actively seeking to participate in
any large financial transactions which involve potentially large profits,
and which may require the use of powerful political influence for their
success. Both the President and Antonio intend to accumulate as much
financial security as possible during the remaining period of Elpidiota
to ure as President.
25X1A Comment: This information appears to have been received
after the final results of the November 1951 elections were made known.
Reports from various sources previously have indicated that the scope and
range of financial interests of Antonio Quirino are tremendous. His
interests in financial. enterprises in the Philippines and elsewhere are
believed to be extensive.
