    Manuel Roxas was born in Capiz, Capiz Province, on 1st January, 1892. In 1914 he graduated from the College of Law of the University of the Philippines. In 1916 he became provincial governor and by 1922 he was elected to Congress, becoming Speaker of the Philippine Assembly. In 1934 Roxas was elected to the constitutional convention. In 1938 he was appointed secretary of finance by Commonwealth president Quezon and then became his trusted adviser. In 1941 Roxas ran for the Senate and won. On Dec. 8, 1941, at the outbreak of the war, Roxas contributions include serving as lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE). He denied joining Quezon in fleeing to the United States because he wanted to keep alive the morale of the Filipino soldiers fighting in Bataan and Corregidor. He was captured in 1942 by the Japanese forces in Malaybalay, Bukidnon, and was forced to serve in the puppet government of José Laurel. Roxas accepted the position of chairman of the Economic Planning Board in Laurel's wartime Cabinet. During the Japanese retreat he supposedly escaped from the Japanese high command in Baguio on April 15, 1945. In 1948, Roxas declared general pardon for those arrested for collaborating with the Japanese during World War II, except for those who had committed violent crimes.
