Post-Mortem on NIE 66-57:
Political Outlook for the Philippine Republic During 1957,
dated 12 February 1957
I. Findings
I W_
1. Although coverage of the development of nationalism and
anti-Americanism in the Philippines has increased recently, we
still do not feel we have sufficient information on how deeply national-
ism has penetrated Philippine society and the manner in which it is
affecting the attitudes and actions of the Filipino leaders and general
populace. We also do not have sufficient information on the relation-
ship between nationalism and anti-Americanism in the Philippines.
2. Intelligence weaknesses continue with respect to the
various facets of Communism in the Philippines, notably the organi-
zation and strength of the CCP and its relations with the PKP. There
is also a lack of intelligence concerning the nature and extent of the
relationship between the Communist parties in the Philippines and
the Soviet and Chinese Communist parties.
The IAC agencies are requested to take appropriate action
with respect to these two intelligence gaps.
