Who Was Ramon Magsaysay?

Ramon Magsaysay was the seventh president of the Philippines (1953–57), best known for successfully defeating the communist-led Hukbalahap (Huk) movement in his country and his popular appeal. He died in his country in 1957.

Unfortunately, Magsaysay's sweeping measures had made many enemies for him within the government, and he resigned on February 28, 1953, later charging the Quirino Administration with corruption and incompetence.

The Presidency and Achievements

Although Magsaysay was a liberal, the Nacionalista Party backed him for the preside
