What I Know
Martial law involves the
temporary substitution of
military authority for civilian
rule and is usually invoked in
time of war, rebellion, or
natural disaster.
Ferdinand Marcos (1917-1989) was a
nationalist president remembered as
a corrupt dictator who ushered in an
era of political repression and
violence. In attaining and holding the
presidency, he wielded charisma, vast
wealth, political connections among
both Filipinos and Americans, military
clout, and drew upon the charm of his
wife, the former beauty pageant
winner Imelda Marcos.
Based on the documentation of
Amnesty International, Task Force
Detainees of the Philippines, and
similar human rights monitoring
entities, historians believe that the
Marcos dictatorship was marked by
3,257 known extrajudicial killings,
35,000 documented tortures, 77
'disappeared',
and
70,000
incarcerations.
Extrajudicial killings, or extrajudicial
executions, happen when someone in
an official position deliberately kills a
person without any legal process.
Such arbitrary deprivations of life,
which can also be carried out by
militias, death squads or other nonState actors, often target political
opponents, activists, or marginalized
groups.

QUESTIONS
What is martial law?
What I learned
Martial law is typically imposed during
times of war, uprising, or natural
disaster and entails the temporary
substitution of military authority for
civilian administration.
Who is Ferdinand Marcos Sr?
Nationalist leader Ferdinand Marcos
(1917–1989) is recognized as a
corrupt tyrant who oversaw political
repression and brutality. He used
charisma, enormous riches, political
ties with both Americans and
Filipinos, military clout, and the allure
of his wife, the former beauty pageant
champion Imelda Marcos, to win and
maintain the president.
What was life in the Philippines during
the martial law?
Historians estimate that 3,257 known
extrajudicial
killings,
35,000
documented
tortures,
77
"disappearances,"
and
70,000
incarcerations took place during the
Marcos dictatorship based on the
documentation
of
Amnesty
International, Task Force Detainees
of the Philippines, and similar human
rights monitoring organizations.
Extrajudicial killings, often known as
extrajudicial executions, occur when a
person in a position of authority kills a
victim voluntarily and beyond the
scope of the law. Political opponents,
activists, or marginalized groups are
frequently the targets of such arbitrary
killings, which can also be committed
by militias, death squads, or other
non-State actors.

the Philippines owed about US$28 billion to foreign
creditors. Borrowed money had not promoted
development, and most of it had been wasted on
showcase projects along Manila Bay, or had
disappeared into the pockets and offshore accounts
of the Marcos and Romualdez families and their
friends and partners. Many Filipinos believed that
they would be morally justified in renouncing the
foreign debt on grounds that the banks should have
known what the Marcoses were doing with the
money.
