   I take it that you mean "ruler" as the one who has the authority over the nation or a group of people, and not the "ruler" used for measuring length. With no offense to the first commenter, the word "Namumuno" and "Tagapamahala" maybe correct in some sense, but these are not the exact translation of the word "ruler", "Namumuno" means Leader while "Tagapamahala" means Administrator or Governor in political term.

   The translation of "Ruler" you might be after is the "Hari" (King), or in Philippine History, "Raha" (Rajah) in a broader context. In a smaller group or tribe, the "ruler" is referred to as "Datu".
