Manaro Felipe

Manaro Felipe is a minor non-player character in Front Mission 3 who appears only during Alisa's story arc. She is the Commander of Negros Fortress in the O.C.U. Philippines.

Alisa's Storyline
Manaro Felipe is first revealed when the main protagonist's party attempt to infiltrate Panay to begin their plan in aiding the Philippines Liberation Front by using a civilian jumbo jet acting in distress. Upon Negros Fortress command center detecting the plane, Manaro initially orders a warning but to no avail. The plane "goes down" and Manaro sends troops to "clean up" to avoid having civilians in a rebel-active area. However, the "clean up" crew arrives to find the main protagonist's company exiting the plane, and a battle ensues. However, the main protagonist's group prevails fast enough that their cover is not fully blown. Manaro would then receive bad news that the Panay missile base was not responding and realized the rebel invasion has started, but she remained confident that Negros Fortress would not fall. When the main protagonist's party was detected infiltrating the sewers into Negros Fortress, she decided to lead a team to deal with them herself while the bulk of her forces deal with the rebels. Despite the impressive setup inside Negros Fortress awaiting the protagonists, Manaro was ultimately defeated. In her last moments, she expressed great surprise that the rebels had such a powerful wanzer squadron under their control.
