They were married in 1921 and had two children, Ruby and Gerardo (Gerry). A native of San Miguel, Bulacan, De León-Roxas was the daughter of Ceferino De Leon, who was a member of the Malolos Congress. She was also a beauty pageant contestant, having been crowned Carnival Queen (Queen of the Orient) at the Manila Carnival in 1920. As the country's first lady during the post-war years, De León-Roxas got involved in various charitable organizations such as the White Cross and the Girl Scouts of the Philippines and restored the annual Malacañang Christmas gift-giving begun prior to World War II.
