"contributed significantly in winning the war for the Allied Forces". Melchor also attained the rank of colonel.
Melchor obtained his highest rank of public service when he became the Secretary of
National Defense in President Manuel L. Quezon's Cabinet. Upon Quezon's death and Sergio Osmeña's succession as president, Melchor became the Military Adviser of the war cabinet. This was during the Second World War, when the Philippine government was in exile.
