Douglas MacArthur is most known for in his service in the Battle of the Philippines which took place between 1941 and 1942, he did so well as a general that he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
With the outbreak of World War II in 1941, Rómulo joined the staff of General Douglas MacArthur as press relations officer. He served as secretary of information and public relations in Quezon's wartime Cabinet (1943-1944). He retreated with MacArthur from Bataan to Corregidor and then to Australia (1941-1942). While in Corregidor he broadcast for the Voice of Freedom. He served as aide-de-camp to MacArthur and rose from the rank of colonel (1942) to brigadier general (1944).
General Jonathan "Skinny" Wainwright defended Bataan, and later Corregidor after MacArthur was recalled to Australia in 1942. Wainwright spent the rest of the war as a prisoner. I have read his book, General Wainwright's Story, and it is very good.

General Douglas MacArthur had to leave the Philippines in 1942 due to the advancing Japanese forces. He famously vowed, "I shall return." He fulfilled that promise by leading the Allied invasion of the Philippines in October 1944, reclaiming the islands from Japanese occupation.
