 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 his uncommon wealth - 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.

Then there was the question of a purely representative government, as espoused by Osmeña, or a government by public opinion, as championed by Quezon, in 1922; and the question of loyal collaboration with Leonard Wood or legislative opposition to him, in that same year.
The second was the question of permanent political union with America as espoused by the Federalistas, and political autonomy as espoused by the Nacionalistas, in the elections of 1907.
Anglo-Saxons are skeptical of plebiscitary democracy because they view it as pandering to the mob, when the fundamental purpose of representative democracy in the British and American tradition is to place the governing power in the hands of a sober ruling class; or, as Sergio Osmeña Sr.
