		Roxas was the wunderkind of the politics of his day, lampooned in cartoons that portrayed him as a little boy in a sailor's suit, presiding over the House (of which he became Speaker at the age of 30).
		When a coup in the legislature staged against Sergio Osmeña, Roxas and their supporters, ousted Roxas from the speakership, he declaimed that he was falling from his position of power into the arms of his people, and was lustily applauded by the students who packed the gallery.
		A re-examination of Roxas' presidency could lead to the conclusion that he secured a better deal for the country than might otherwise have been expected; just as Ramon Magsaysay, who continues to be excoriated by the Left, was responsible for the Laurel-Langley Agreement which shortened the duration of the Bases Agreement.
