Getting to know Marcos in the Philippines

The Philippines has a significant historical link to the Marcos family, particularly during the regime of President Ferdinand Marcos. Ferdinand Marcos served as the tenth President of the Philippines from 1965 to 1986 and is infamous for declaring martial law, establishing authoritarian rule, and committing widespread human rights abuses. Marcos' tenure was marked by political unrest, corruption, and economic turmoil.

During Marcos' presidency, numerous infrastructures were built, including roads, bridges, schools, and hospitals, but many critics allege that the construction projects were vehicles for corruption and embezzlement of public funds. Marcos and his wife, Imelda Marcos, were notorious for their extravagant lifestyle and collection of ill-gotten wealth, including a vast shoe collection that gained international attention.

The imposition of martial law in 1972 allowed Marcos to consolidate power, control the media, and silence political opponents. The martial law period, which lasted until 1981, was characterized by enforced disappearances, torture, and extrajudicial killings of activists and dissidents. The Marcos regime was accused of suppressing civil liberties, curtailing press freedom, and violating human rights.

The People Power Revolution in February 1986 ultimately led to Marcos' downfall. Large-scale protests, led by various sectors of society, demanded his resignation due to accusations of election fraud in the 1986 presidential election. Marcos fled the country and sought exile in Hawaii, while Corazon Aquino assumed the presidency, marking the restoration of democracy in the Philippines.
