He was named Secretary of National Defense in 1950. As secretary he employed unorthodox methods to crush and win over the Huks. In 1953, he ran for President and won by a landslide victory. He was the first President to open the gates of Malacañang to the people. He visited the most remote barrios. His life was abruptly ended on March 17, 1957 in a plane crash in Mount Manunggal in Cebu on his return to Manila after fulfilling an official function.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.philippine-trivia.com/History/Pres.-Ramon-Magsaysay.html"><DIV title="" class="jwts_tabbertab "><H2><A name="advtab" href="javascript:alert('This link contains javascript.
