Ruperto Kangleon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ruperto Kadavero Kangleon (some sources spell his middle name Kadavero as Cadavero) was a Filipino military figure and politician. He was a native of Macrohon in what is now the province of Southern Leyte.
Kangleon was the acknowledged leader of the Resistance Movement in Leyte during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II. As such, his guerrilla forces helped pave the way for the American Leyte Landings on their return to the Philippines in 1944.
After the war, Ruperto Kangleon served as the Philippine Secretary of National Defense.
