Liberated a month prior at Baguio, Brig. Gen. Manuel Roxas, Filipino leader and patriot, is shown working at his desk in his Manila home. Despite the insistence of Gen. MacArthur and the late President Quezon that he go to Australia in the dark days of Bataan, Gen. Roxas resolved to stay in his native land and aid his people through the crisis. Insiders regarded Roxas as Sergio Osmena's chief rival for the presidency, if the Philippines were granted independence and elections were held to select a chief executive of the first Philippine Republic.
