Oscar Hidalgo

Oscar Hidalgo is the 17th and current President of the Philippines (as he is the successor of Rodrigo Duterte in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away) and the leader of the Filipino Militia during World War III.

When Police Major General Cardo Dalisay first informed him of the coming Chinese invasion, referring to it as a "situation," Oscar's first response was "kung gaano ito masama, Cardo?" Hidalgo then demonstrated the same optimism when he contacted Chinese leader Xi Jinping, kindly asking him "what's going on over there, Xi?" It was only when Oscar received printed intel of the coming invasion that he finally showed anger, accusing Jinping (justly) of attempting to occupy the Philippines.

Oscar is married and has three children: Aubrey, Yohan, and Mary Grace "Gracie" Hidalgo. His wife, Marissa Esquivias-Hidalgo, was both his childhood friend and school sweetheart. They married several years after their graduation from Lyceum of the Philippines University in 1991.

Hidalgo was also an enthusiast of shooting, billiards and video games (he played Among Us with Benigno Aquino III twice). Oscar does not smoke or drink alcoholic beverages.

Although the official residence of the president is the Malacañang Palace, Hidalgo and his family chose to reside in the Bahay Pangarap (House of Dreams), located within the Palace grounds, while in office.

Like Michael Dugan, he is against the How I Can Help Make the World Great ceremony (meaning he does not want to attend it), and even apppeared at the Multiversal Victory Day Parade as a guest of honor.
