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.

“History in the making is a very uncertain thing. It might be better to wait till the South American republic has got through with its twenty-fifth revolution before reading much about it. When it is over, some one whose business it is, will be sure to give you in a digested form all that it concerns you to know, and save you trouble, confusion, and time. If you will follow this plan, you will be surprised to find how new and fresh your interest in what you read will become.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
