He was vice president under Manuel
L. Quezon. Upon Quezon's sudden
death in 1944, Osmeña succeeded
him at age 65, becoming the oldest
person to assume the Philippine
presidency until Rodrigo Duterte took
office in 2016 at age 71. A founder of
the Nacionalista Party, Osmeña was
also the first Visayan to become
president.
Manuel Roxas (1892-1948) was the last
president of the Commonwealth and the first
president of the Republic of the Philippines.

Quirino y Rivera; Tagalog: [ˈkiɾino];

During his presidency, Quezon tackled the problem of
landless peasants in the countryside. His other major
decisions include the reorganization of the islands'
military defense, approval of a recommendation for
government reorganization, the promotion of
settlement and development in Mindanao, dealing
with the foreign stranglehold on Philippine trade and
commerce, proposals for land reform, and opposing
graft and corruption within the government. He
established a government-in-exile in the U.S. with the
outbreak of World War II and the threat of Japanese
invasion.
The Philippines is far away and the
country’s political culture is not well
known in France. Rodrigo Duterte, the
"strong man" of Manila, is the typical
example of a leader who came to
power through the ballot box but
whose exercise of power, of
unprecedented brutality, breaks with
democratic traditions.

plunder, and his two decades as
president have come to epitomize
the worst excesses of autocratic
rule.

president, though his
