Political career

House of Representatives (1965-1969)

In 1965, he was elected as a congressman for the lone district of Zambales. He was the youngest Congressman to be elected to the Lower House at the age of 27. He went back to the private sector soon after.

1992 Vice-Presidential bid

In the 1992 elections, he was offered by Agrarian Reform secretary Miriam Defensor Santiago to be her vice presidential candidate under the People's Reform Party. He accepted the offer and run for the elections, hoping to follow his father's footsteps, but the voters favored actor and Senator Joseph Estrada. He went back to the private sector soon after.

Senator of the Philippines (1995-2007)

In the 1995 elections, President Fidel Ramos invited Magsaysay to join the senatorial slate of the Lakas-Laban Coalition. He won the election and received the third highest vote among the twelve elected senators. In 1996, he was commissioned by the Senate to look for a suitable place to relocate the Senate offices. The building would be renovated as the National Museum would be expanding in time for the Philippine Centennial celebrations in 1998. The Senate session hall and offices found its new home at the GSIS Building in the Financial Center in Pasay City.

On January 13, 2001, Magsaysay was one who voted in favor of opening the bank envelope containing evidence in the impeachment case of President Joseph Estrada. The request was overturned by a negative vote that led to the second EDSA People Power Revolution. In the 2001 elections, he was reelected to the senate under the Lakas-NUCD-UMDP party and was affiliated with the People Power Coalition. In the electoral crisis involving President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Magsaysay distanced himself from the ruling party Lakas and joined the Liberal Party (LP) then led by Senate President Franklin Drilon. He is running for a seat in the senate in the 2013 elections under the Liberal Party of President Benigno Aquino III.

As a legislator, he has co-authored several laws including:

- Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001 (RA 9160)- Electronic Commerce Law (RA 8792)- Ban on Hard Surfactants (RA 8970)- Magna Carta for Small and Medium Enterprises (RA 8289)- New Foreign Investments Act (RA 8179)- Mechanical Engineering Law (RA 8495)- Amending the Omnibus Investments Code -Regional Headquarters (RA 8756)- Jewelry Manufacturing Act (RA 8502)

Personal life

Jun, as many people call him, is married to Marie Louise (Marilou) Kahn, and they have no children. However, he had two children from his first marriage, Francisco and Margarita.
