what will happen if Magsaysay never became president of the Philippines and instead Quirino stayed at president. I had been doing some research about Quirino's presidency and most of his policies are actually good and pro Filipino, believing that the Philippines if recovered wont need the US for assistance and aid. And most of his projects are for the economy and industrialization. Like for example Maria cristina falls powerplant in Mindanao. For that to happen i say he shouldve ordered the arrest of LP officials that are corrupt, they even confessed it at the LP convention out loud which tarnished his reputation, to show that he dont tolerate corruption. And He shouldve remained unfriendly with japan And force them to pay reparations, because in OTL the usa forced him to be on good terms with Japan and forced him to not ask for reparations.
What will be it's effects, who will succeed him, I think that this will prevent a Marcos figure from coming because Magsaysay's image is very charismatic and similar to Marcos. That will make the Philippines avoid the economic stagnation and make it at better shape at least somehow
