	PinoyOnBoard.com - Magsaysay Is Still My Guy
		Much has been said about the life and times of Ramon Magsaysay y del Fierro who was born on August 31, 1907, in the then remote town of Castillejos in the province of Zambales.
		In his stint as a guerilla intelligence officer, Captain Magsaysay conducted risky meetings with fellow guerilla intelligence agents under the very noses of the Japanese occupation troops in Manila and in the most unlikely of places like the rest room of the El Bazar Siglo that was then located near the Try-tran office in Azcarraga.
		I recall vividly the most poignant picture that dramatized Secretary Magsaysay’s concern for the common man. The picture had been panned by his critics as something that was staged but to my youthful mind, it was a most dramatic portrayal of the concern of a public servant for the poor, the oppressed, and the downtrodden.
