Vice Presidents During The Second Republic
Some websites incorrectly recognize the following as Vice-Presidents of the Philippines however they are not officially recognized by the Philippine Government:
- Ramón Avanceña, October 14, 1943-February 2, 1944 (Served during the Japanese Occupation under President José P. Laurel)
- Benigno Aquino, Sr., February 2, 1944-August 17, 1945 (Served during the Japanese Occupation under President José P. Laurel)
Note that the two served in the 1943 constitution that did not provide for a vice president of the country; instead, the two are vice presidents of National Assembly or of the parliament.

“Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales. Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the constant omission of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
