He spent his school life somewhere in Castillejos and his school life at the Academy of zambales in San Narciso, sambales. After graduating from Magsai College, he enrolled at the University of the Philippines in 1927, where he enrolled in a pre-injury course. He worked as a chauffeur to feed himself when he was studying engineering; he later moved to the Jose Rizala College Commercial Institute (1928-1932), where he earned a degree in trade. He then worked as an auto mechanic for a bus company in Florida and as a store manager. Career during World War II Magsai as a guerrilla during World War II At the beginning of World War II, he joined the motor pool of the 31st Infantry Division of the Philippine Army. When Bataan surrendered in 1942, Magsai fled to the hills, barely evading Japanese arrest at least four times. There he organized the West Luzon Guerrilla Units and was appointed captain on April 5, 1942. For three years Magsaisai operated under Colonel Merrill's famous guerrilla unit and saw the actions in Savang, San Marcelino, sambales, first as a supply officer codenamed Chow, and then as commander of 10,000 strong forces. Magsai was one of those who was instrumental in clearing the coast of the Japanese to the landing of American troops along with The Philippine Commonwealth forces on January 29, 1944. On June 16, 1933, he married Luz Magsaiai (The Bunzon), Milagrose Mila (b. 1936) and Ramone June Banzon-Magsai Jr. (b. 1938). Other relatives of several of Magsai's relatives became prominent public figures in themselves: Ramon Magsai Jr., son; former congressman and senator Genaro Magsai, brother; former Senator Vicente Magsai, nephew; Former Governor JB Magsaysay, Venthier; Actor Antonio M. Diaz, nephew; Congressman and Assembly of zambales Anita Magsai-Ho, cousin; artist Doris M. Ho, niece; On April 22, 1946, Magsai, inspired by his former guerrillas, was elected to the Liberal House of Representatives. In 1948, President Manuel Roxas chose Magsai to travel to Washington as chairman of the Guerrilla Affairs Committee to help secure the passage of the Rogers Veterans Bill, giving benefits to Filipino veterans. In the so-called dirty elections of 1949, he was re-elected for a second term in the House of Representatives. He was chairman of the House National Defense Committee for both terms. Secretary of National Defence This section needs additional citations to verify. Please help improve this article by adding quotes to reliable sources. No outsourcing can be challenged and removed. (March 2011) (Learn how and when to delete this message template) In early August 1950, he proposed to President Elpicio Chirino a plan to fight communist guerrillas, using his own experience of guerrilla warfare during World War II. After some hesitation, Kirino realized that there was no alternative and appointed Magsai as Minister of National Defence on 31 August 1950. He stepped up his campaign against the Hukbalahap guerrillas. This success was partly due to unconventional methods he took from a former advertising expert and CIA agent, Colonel Edward Lansdale. In the fight against the insurgency, the two used deployed soldiers to distribute humanitarian aid and other forms of assistance to remote provincial communities. Prior to Magsai's appointment as Minister of Defence, the villagers perceived the Philippine army with apathy and mistrust. Nevertheless, the term Magsai has strengthened the image of the army, earning them respect and admiration. In June 1952, Magsaisai toured the United States and Mexico. He visited New York, Washington, D.C. (with a medical examination at Walter Reed Hospital) and Mexico City, where he spoke at the annual Lions International Convention. By 1953, President Kirino thought the threat of hacks was under control, and Secretary Magsai was becoming too weak. Magsai met with interference and obstruction by the president and his advisers, fearing they could be ousted in the next presidential election. Although Magsaisay was not going to run at the time, he was called on many sides and finally convinced that the only way to continue the fight against communism and for the government for the people was to be elected president, toppling a corrupt administration that he believed had caused the rise of communist partisans by a bad administration. On 28 February 1953, he resigned as Minister of Defence and became a presidential candidate for the National Convention, contesting the nomination of Senator Camilo Osias at the National Convention. The 1951 Padilla Incident Theatrical Poster 1961 film Moises Padilla story that tells the story of the 1951 event. When news reached Magsaysay that his political ally Moises Padilla had been tortured by the men of the provincial governor Rafael Laxon, he rushed to Negros West, but it was too late. He was then told that Padilla's body was floating in blood, pierced with fourteen bullets, and he was placed on a police bench in the town square. Magsai himself carried Padilla's corpse with his bare hands and took it to the morgue, and the next day the news clips showed him. Magsai even used the event during his presidential campaign in 1953. The trial against Laxon began in January 1952; Magsai and his men have provided enough evidence convict Laxon and his 26 men for In August 1954, Judge Eduardo Henriquez ruled that these men were guilty, and Laxon, his 22 people and three other mayors of the western negroes municipality were sentenced to an electric chair. The 1953 presidential election was held on November 10, 1953, in the Philippines. Incumbent President Elpidio Chirino lost the opportunity for a second full term as President of the Philippines to former Defence Minister Magsai. His running mate, Senator Jose Yulo, lost to Senator Carlos. Garcia. Vice President Fernando Lopez did not run for re-election. It was the first time that the President-elect of the Philippines had not come from the Senate. Moreover, Magsai started practicing in the Philippines Jingl's campaign during the elections, because one of his inclinations and hobbies were dancing. The United States Government, including the Central Intelligence Agency, had a strong influence on the 1953 elections, and the candidates in the elections fiercely competed with each other for U.S. support. Presidential StylesRamon F. MagsaysayReference styleHis ExcellencySpoken styleYourency ExcellAlternative styleMr. President Ramon Magsai is sworn in as the 7th President of the Philippines on December 30, 1953. He was sworn in in office wearing Barong Tagalog, the first Philippine president. Then it was called Mambo Magsai. As President, he was a close friend and supporter of the United States and an ardent spokesman against communism during the Cold War. He led the organization of the Treaty of Southeast Asia, also known as the Manila Pact of 1954, which was aimed at defeating communist-Marxist movements in Southeast Asia, south-east Asia and the Southwest Pacific. During his term, he made Malakanyang literally the home of the people, opening his gates to the public. One example of its integrity is a demonstration flight aboard a new aircraft owned by the Philippine Air Force (AIR): President Magsai asked what the operating costs per hour for this type of aircraft were and then wrote a personal check to the PAF covering the cost of his flight.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

A» The Ohio S tate U niversity 1961 Approved by Adviser Co-Adviser Department of Political Science PREFACE The purpose of this study is to examine the National Economic Council of the Philippines as a focal point of the contemporary life of that nation. The claim is often made that the Republic of the Philippines, by reason of American tutelage, stands as the one nation in the Orient that has successfully established itself as an American-type democracy. The Philippines is confronted today by serious econcanic problems which may threaten the stability of the nation. From the point of view of purely economic considerations, Philippine national interests would seem to call for one line of policy to cope with these economic problems. Yet, time and again, the Philippine government has been forced by political considerations to foUcw some other line of policy which was patently undesirable from an economic point of view. The National Economic Council, a body of economic experts, has been organized for the purpose of form ulating economic p o licy and recommend­ ing what is economically most desirable for the nation.

Looking at the approaches taken in the colonies of British Asia, postwar treason trials in the Philippines, and Chinese Communist approaches in wartime and postwar Shandong province, this study argues that the laws and rhetoric of treason were deeply flawed tools for confronting the atrocities of war. At the very moment that war crimes trials were defining a set of acts that constituted crimes against all humanity, around the world thousands of individuals who helped perpetrate them were treated as primarily guilty of crimes against the nation.
