of Martial Law, as according to the president’s powers described in the 1935 Philippine

within the elite depriving them of their power and patronage but did not affect their
supporters (US Library of Congress, Martial Law and the Aftermath).
Thirty-thousand opposition figures including Senator Benigno Aquino,
journalists, student and labor activists were detained at military compounds under the
President’s command (Proclamation 1081 and Martial Law). The army and the
Philippine Constabulary seized weapons and disbanded private armies controlled by
prominent politicians and other influential figures (Proclamation 1081 and Martial Law).
Marcos took control of the legislature and closed the Philippine Congress
(Proclamation 1081 and Martial Law). Numerous media outfits were either closed
down or operated under tight control (Proclamation 1081 and Martial Law). Marcos
also allegedly funneled millions of the country’s money by placing some of his trusted
supporters in strategic economic positions to channel resources to him. Experts call
this the “crony capitalism.”
Former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. The deterioration of the political
and economic condition in the Philippines triggered the decline of support on Marcos’
plans. More and more Filipinos took arms to dislodge the regime. Urban poor
communities in the country’s capital were organized by the Philippine Ecumenical
Council for Community and were soon conducting protest masses and prayer rallies.
These efforts including the exposure of numerous human rights violations pushed
Marcos to hold an election in 1978 and 1981 in an aim to stabilize the country’s chaotic
condition. Marcos, in both events, won the election; however, his extended term as
President of the Republic of the Philippines elicited an extensive opposition against
his regime. Social unrest reached its height after former Senator Benigno Aquino was
murdered. The incident sent thousands of Filipinos to the streets calling for Marcos’
removal from post. Turning again to his electoral strategy, Marcos held a snap election
in 1986 but what he hoped will satisfy the masses only increased their determination
to end his rule that seated Corazon Aquino, widow of Benigno Aquino, as President of
the Philippines ousting Marcos from Malacañang Palace and ending the twenty-one
years of tyrant rule.
