Episode on December 18, 2008
Thursday night after Saksi

Midnight of March 17, 1957 President Ramon Magsaysay, together with 27 other people, boarded Mt. Pinatubo, the C47 plane that would take them from Cebu to Manila. Thirteen minutes after the take-off, a distress call from the pilots was received by the airport tower in Manila. This was to be the last contact from the presidential plane.

Mutilated bodies and charred parts of the plane were found the morning after at the side of Mt. Manunggal in Balamban, Cebu. President Magsaysay, along with 26 people on board Mt. Pinatubo, died in one of the most shocking plane crash incidents in the Philippines. Only one survived to tell the story.

This Thursday, Kara David retells accounts of the crash that killed President Ramon Magsaysay. What really caused the plane to crash at the side of Mt. Manunggal?

Years after the ill-fated flight, the Magsaysay family still believes that the plane crash was just a mere accident. But there were rumors that a bomb was placed inside the plane and that this was allegedly planned by the US CIA. Is there truth to this theory? Prof. Arnold Azurin explains these allegations.

Under the direction of indie filmmaker Sigrid Bernardo, watch the last 13 minutes of President Magsaysay in this Thursday's episode of Case Unclosed with Kara David, airing right after the late night newscast Saksi.

Many believe the CIA eliminated Magsaysay for fear that he might become a dictator and establish a one-party state.

Siguro talagang minalas ang Pilipinas dahil ang nag-iisang pangulo na naging concern sa kalagayan n'ya maaga pang nawala. Ang mga sumunod na pangulo naman ay patuloy na ginagahasa ang Pilipinas... wala akong masasabi kundi sana naman karmahin sila...
