Manuel Luis Quezón y Molina was the president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944. Quezón worked on the problem of landless peasants in the countryside, reorganization of the islands' military defense, governmental reorganization, the settlement and development in Mindanao, the foreign strangle-hold on Philippine trade and commerce, proposals for land reform and fighting graft and corruption within the government. At the outset of World War II and the threat of the Japanese invasion, Quezón established a government in exile in the US. He was treated by Dr. John N. Hayes.
During his exile, Quezón died of tuberculosis in Saranac Lake while staying at Camp Massapequa on Lower Saranac Lake.
