Yet the nuances of his leadership and the nature of their relationship deserve greater investigation. This thesis seeks to further illuminate Magsaysay and Lansdale's relationship by focusing on the role of empathy and sociocultural understanding, in defeating the Huks and restoring the Philippine government's legitimacy. U.S. policy in the Philippines at the time, bolstered regimes riddled with corruption, graft, and nepotism, reinforcing poor governance, and resulting in a loss of government legitimacy. This energized the Huk movement until they were on the verge of toppling the government. A change in U.S. policy coincided with the emergence of Magsaysay and Lansdale. They reversed Huk momentum, rejuvenated the demoralized and oppressive armed forces, and restored the Philippine government's legitimacy, all in less than four years. Their shared, genuine empathy for the Filipino people fostered deep sociocultural understanding. Their combined capabilities and resources then translated empathy and sociocultural understanding into concrete measures to combat the Huks and rebuild popular support for the government. 517 $aLansdale, Magsaysay, America, and the Philippines 606 $aCounterinsurgency$zPhilippines$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aPhilippines$xHistory$y1946-1986 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary relations$zPhilippines 607 $aPhilippines$xMilitary relations$zUnited States 608 $aTextual. 610 $aCounterinsurgency 610 $aCOIN 610 $aHukbalahap Rebellion 610 $aLansdale, Edward Geary, 1908-1987 610 $aMagsaysay, Ramon, 1907- 610 $aPhilippines 615 0$aCounterinsurgency$xHistory 676 $a959.904 700 $aLembke$b Andrew E.$01407002 712 02$aCombat Studies Institute (U.S.).$bPress, 801 0$bTRC 801 1$bTRC 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910706284403321 996 $aLansdale, Magsaysay, America, and the Philippines$93487261 997 $aUNINA
