He was elected President under the banner of the Nacionalista Party. <BR> In August 1950 he suggested a plan to President Quirino to fight the Communist insurgency, based on his own experiences in guerrilla warfare during World War II. After some hesitation, Quirino realized that there was no alternative and appointed Magsaysay Secretary of National Defence on August 31, 1950. <BR> He intensified the campaign against the Hukbalahap guerillas. This success was due in part to the unconventional methods he employed and developed; he deployed utilized soldiers distributing relief goods and other forms of aid to outlying, provincial communities <BR> As president, he was a closely associated with the USA and a vocal critic of communism during the Cold War. He led the foundation of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization also known as the Manila Pact of 1954 that aimed to defeat communist-Marxist movements in South East Asia, South Asia and the South-western Pacific. <BR> His administration was considered one of the cleanest and most corruption-free; his presidency was cited as the Philippines' Golden Years. Trade and industry flourished, the Philippine military was at its prime, and the Filipino people were given international recognition in sports, culture and foreign affairs. The Philippines ranked second in Asia's clean and well-governed countries. <BR> </CENTER> </TD> <TD width=25% valign="top"><BR> <FONT color=#330099 face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=3> <center><B><U> Presidents of the Philippines</B></U> <BR><BR> <A HREF="aguinaldo.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> EMILIO AGUINALDO -1898 - 1901</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="quezon.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> MANUEL QUEZON - Nov 15, 1935 - Aug 1, 1944</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="osmena.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> SERGIO OSMEÑA - Aug 1, 1944 - May 27, 1946</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="laurel.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> JOSE LAUREL - Oct 14, 1943 - Aug 15, 1945</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="roxas.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> MANUEL ROXAS - Jul 4, 1946 - Apr 15, 1948</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="quirino.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> ELPIDIO QUIRINO - Apr 17, 1948 - Nov 10, 1953</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="magsaysay.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> RAMON MAGSAYSAY - Dec 30, 1953 - Mar 17, 1957</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="garcia.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> CARLOS GARCIA - Mar 18, 1957 - Dec 30, 1961</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="macapagal.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL - Dec 30, 1961 - Dec 30, 1965</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="marcos.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> FERDINAND MARCOS - Dec 30, 1965 Feb 25, 1986</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="aquino.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> CORAZON AQUINO - Feb 25, 1986 - June 30, 1992</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="ramos.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> FIDEL RAMOS - June 30, 1992 - June 30, 1998</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="estrada.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> JOSEPH ESTRADA - 1998 - 2001</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="arroyo.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO - 2001 - Present</A> </CENTER> </TD> </TR> </table> <CENTER> <font face="Trebuchet MS,Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1" color="#000000"> The copyright to this site, the script 'The History of the Philippines' and all concepts are held by Robin Jacob.
