The Good Fight
(Excerpt)
Manuel L. Quezon
Before noon of December 12, 1941. I received a telephone call from General MacArthur to inform me that he was
sending his aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Colonel Huff, to see me on a very important and urgent matter. I told the General I
would see his aid immediately. When Colonel Huff arrived, he told me that the General MacArthur wanted me to be ready
on four hours’ notice to go with in the Corregidor.
I was shocked. I never imagined that I would ever have to take refuge in Corregidor. I had known for years that the
fortress of Corregidor had been built as the last stronghold of the American forces in the Philippines and a safe refuge for
American Governors-General in case of grave danger. But it had never crossed my mind, that there would ever come a time
when I would have to go Corregidor. I was no American Governor-General, but the Filipino President of the Commonwealth.
It is true that while Major Grunert was still in command if the Philippine Department, United States High
Commissioner Sayre, in one of the conferences that I held with him and General Grunert, bought up to question of the
evacuation form Manila, in case of necessity, of both the High Commissioner and the President of the Commonwealth. It
was Mr. Sayre’s opinion that we would be in the same locality. But I made it clear to both Commissioner Sayre and General
Grunert that I felt it my duty to remain in the midst of my people, at whatever risk, because my presence would help to keep
up their morale. General Grunert understood my feeling and thought it was right. Moreover, nothing was said in the
conference to indicate that a Japanese invasion of the Philippines was a possibility as long as the American flag still in the
islands.
