In 1938 Quezon appointed him, Secretary of Finance, a position that he held until August 1941, when he resigned in order to run for a seat in the Senate.

It was Quezon who finally brought home the independence fought for and sought by that revolution, and it was also Quezon who, from 1909 till his death in 1943, steadfastly laid down the political foundation for the establishment of self-rule in our country.

 Brief History
The inauguration of President Quezon for his second term as President of the Philippine Commonwealth on December 30, 1941 provided a strange break in the routine of life in the tunnel.
He brought hope as he promised prompt, vigorous action, and asserted in his Inaugural Address, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Roosevelt was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms.
We are fighting for human liberty and justice, for those principles of individual freedom which we all cherish and without which life would not be worth living.

 Manuel L. Quezon and ... - Sept. 21, 2003
During the general's tenure, Quezon lobbied Washington for independence and succeeded with the passing of the Tydings-McDuffie Act in 1934 that established the Philippines as a commonwealth until 1946 when the country would be granted independence.
Barely a year into signing the Tydings-McDuffie Act, Quezon, now the first president of the Commonwealth (1938-1944), faced aggression from Japan and called on his old friend who was unpopular in the Roosevelt administration.
One wonders about Quezon's sartorial taste during his six-year tenure as first President of the Commonwealth.
