TODAY IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY:

The Japanese which colonized the Philippines surrendered to the Allied forces. The Allied forces, led by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, landed on the island of Leyte to start the liberation of the Philippines in October 20, 1944. After liberation, the Commonwealth government was restored.

Congress convened in its first regular session on July 9, 1945. It was the first time the people’s representatives have assembled since their election on November 11, 1941. Manuel Roxas was elected Senate President, and Elpidio Quirino was chosen President Pro Tempore. Jose Zulueta was speaker of the house, while Prospero Sanidad became speaker pro Tempore.
