It was president Elpidio Quirino's priority to rebuild and re-establish our economy and support those who had lost their homes and works. Under his leadership, our nation slowly began to recover. Many infrastructure projects were launched to repair the area's and the individuals who were affected by the war such as roads, schools, and hospitals and helping to restore essential services. Quirino also focused on creating jobs and improving the lives of many Filipinos, working to give them a sense of hope and stability as the country moved forward from the hardships of war.
