Manuel Roxas
Because of World War II, the Philippines had a difficult time rehabilitating its economy. After he was elected president, Roxas established the Rehabilitation Finance Corporation, which helped many Filipinos who lost their homes, and created the Central Bank of the Philippines, which funded the lack of food supply in the country. He also requested help from the United States under the Philippine Rehabilitation Act and the Tydings Rehabilitation Act. This was used in turn to fix damaged roads, bridges, and buildings.
