the MARCOS episode we will never forget, nowadays his son is back in political scene, and regularly on TV channel(s).
Also Estrada's son is in Senate prominently.
On nov 9, 1965 Ferdinand E.Marcos was elected as the six PRESIDENT of the Third Philippine republic.
In the meantime during a summit in MANILA PH, the creation of ASEAN became a fact!ASEAN you could compare with the European Council in Europe, although the European one is more based on international Law than the ASEAN one and has more european( means law above the States) powers,they do have a European President and a European Foreign Minister( Representative),and a powerful European Commission in Brussels with own Powers and a European Parliament.Anyway you will appreciate it yourself.
1968 the foundation of the New Communist Party of the Philippines.
1969:Marcos reelected.
1971:New Constitution !!
1972, sept.21: PRES. MARCOS ISSUED PROCLAMATION 1081 PLACING THE COUNTRY UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
Assassination attempt against Defense Minister :he survived.
Meaning of Law: CONGRESS abolished and creation of semi parliament BATASANG PAMBANSA .
In 1981 the imposition of Martial Law was lifted by the President, so 1972--1981 period was a real dictatorship period.
All efforts to limit the strenghs of Marcos failed.He just killed his opponents.( in other words....)
Example: former Senator Benigno Aquino jr. was assassinated at the MANILA international airport upon his return to the PH after three years of self-exile in the USA.
The funeral procession was joined by more than 2 million peoples.The same impressive figures we have seen recently with the dead of his wife Cory Aquino ( the former President).
Then an impressive Peoples Movement started to get rid of Marcos.
Next time more.
