| Additional information |
Manuel Roxas, the first president of the independent Philippine Republic, died in office in April 1948 — less than two years after independence was proclaimed. His government inherited a country devastated by Japanese occupation and the Battle of Manila, and spent much of its brief tenure negotiating postwar reconstruction aid from the United States under the Philippine Rehabilitation Act of 1946.
