Against whom did Quirino win his full presidential term in 1949?
Jose Laurel
Sergio Osmeña
Emilio Aguinaldo
Ferdinand Marcos
Answer
Jose Laurel was Quirino's opponent in the 1949 presidential election, which Quirino won to secure his full term as president. Laurel, a former president of the Japanese-sponsored Second Philippine Republic during World War II, had been pardoned for his collaboration and was allowed to run for office. However, Quirino's strong support from the Liberal Party and his record of fighting the Japanese occupation helped him secure a decisive victory.
