Battle of Manila
1946 - Elected Vice-President and appointed Foreign Affairs      Guide 6
Secretary
1949 - Elected as President of the 3rd Republic of the
Philippines
   When Roxas died on April
    15, 1948 Quirino suceeded
    to the presidency
   Upon assuming the office of
    presidency, Quirino presented
    his plan for a better
    government. His agenda is
    centered on two main
    objectives:
     1. Unity among the Filipinos
        through the establishment of
        peace and order
     2. Maintanence of the people’s
        faith in the efficiency and
        sincerity of the government
   Elpidio Quirino was reelected
    president in November 1949

   President Quirino’s administration
    faced a serious threat in the form of
    Communist-led Hukbalahap (HUK)
    movement

   When Quirino’s negotiations with
    Huk commander Luis Taruc broke
    down in 1948
   Quirino appointed Ramon
    Magsaysay to suppress the
    insurrection.



   Quirino ran for the
    president again in the 1953
    presidential elections, but
    was defeated by
    Nacionalista bet Ramon
    Magsaysay
   Quirino retired to private life and died of a
    heart attack in February 29, 1956




Quirino retired to private life and died of
a heart attack in February 29, 1956
Issues
   The widespread poverty and
    acts of graft and corruption in
    some government offices also
    contributed to the declining
    faith of the people in
    government.
   Scandalous transactions of
    some government officials
    lowered the prestige of
    government.
   On top of all these was the
    increasing threat of the Huks
    who burned and ransacked
    towns and barrios.
Issues
   Quirino’s bid for a second term of office in
    1949 was believed to be one of the dirtiest
    elections held in the country – next next
    to the 1969 election wherein Ferdinand
    Marcos won via massive cheating and
    intimidation. In the 1953 election, Quirino
    was defeated by one of the greatest
    presidents in Philippine history, Ramon
    Magsaysay.
PROGRAMS FOR DEVELOPMENT
   Improvement of the Economy
      establishement of farm-to-market roads
      establishment of the Central Bank of the Philippines
      Making the Magna Carta of Labor at Minimum Wage
       Law which aims to give the laborers a better life
      Increased tariff rates in order to earn more dollars.
      Quirino launched and Economic Mobilization Program
       to industrialize the country and give more jobs to the
       Filipinos.
•Amnesty for the Huks
      Ramon Magsaysay was appointed by the president to
       combat the HUK insurgency. With his witty
       strategy, he made Luis Taruc surrender to the
       government
      President Quirino negotiated with Luis Taruc in
       Malacanang
      The Economic Development Corps (EDCOR) was
       established. It stated that all those who will surrender
       will be forgiven by the government and will be
       provided by land for farming
ACHIEVEMENTS
   Passed the economic mobilization program in
    industrializing the country through the opening
    of some industries
   Increased economic aid from the United States
   Established the Central Bank of the Philippines in
    order to stabilize the currency of our country
   Created the president’s action committee on
    social amelioration to alleviate the life condition
    of the poor especially in the rural areas
   Established the hydroelectric project in Lanao
    and the Burgos irrigation project in Zambales
CONCLUSION

    Quirino's six years as president were
marked by notable postwar reconstruction,
general economic gains, and increased
economic aid from the United States. Basic
social problems, however, particularly in the
rural areas, remained unsolved. Quirino's
administration was tainted by widespread
graft and corruption.
