1957 Philippine presidential election
The Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections of 1957 were held on November 12, 1957. Incumbent President Carlos P. Garcia won his opportunity for a full term as President of the Philippines after the death of President Ramon Magsaysay in a plane crash in March 1957. His running mate, Speaker Jose Laurel Jr., lost to Pampanga Representative Diosdado Macapagal. This was the first time in Philippine electoral history where a president was elected by a plurality rather than a majority, and in which the winning presidential and vice presidential candidates came from different parties.

gollark: We could always move to the DC subreddit.
gollark: Probably not. Either it's an actual job requirement or some sort of TJ09 excuse.
gollark: I should probably avoid them, but I hope against all evidence that eventually people will see sense.
gollark: Yes, well.
gollark: Meanwhile, random forums person continues to insist that links must be banned from the hub because on the forums they can make a link which appears to lead to something but leads to something else.
