Gen. Douglas MacArthur escaped from Corregidor in a PT boat and headed for Australia This action was the result of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s order after fearing that MacArthur would be taken prisoner after the fall of Corregidor. MacArthur traveled from Corregidor to Cagayan in Mindanao amidst stormy seas patrolled by Japanese warships then flew to Australia.
