He was vice president when President Manuel Quezon passed away and was with the liberation forces led by US General Douglas McArthur in 1944, an event immortalized at a landmark monument known as the Leyte Landing at Palo beach in central Philippines. It was during his term when the Philippines joined the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank).
