What was Roxas' role in the Philippine government during the Japanese occupation?

  • Collaborator

  • Resistance leader

  • Ambassador

  • None

Answer

None. Roxas did not hold any official role in the Philippine government during the Japanese occupation. He was initially appointed as a member of the Preparatory Commission for Philippine Independence in 1943, but he resigned in protest against the Japanese-sponsored government. Roxas spent the rest of the occupation in hiding, working to organize resistance against the Japanese.
