QUEZON was re-elected

Japan invaded the country in December 8, 1941.

Again, he continued to fight for independence this time against

the Japanese empire. He fled to the island of Corrigedor to
avoid capture.

When Corrigidor fell to the Japanese, it was a symbolic defeat of

the Philippines againts the oprressor.

This prompted Quezon to move to the United States

He established government in exile, even in exile Quezon did

not stop. Through him the Philippines served the Pacific War
Council and joined United Nations and is because of this that
the Philippines is recognized as an Allied Nation.
