A community portal about Ferdinand Marcos with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralín Marcos was the tenth president of the Philippines, serving from 1965 to 1986. In 1972, he declared martial law, which allowed him to stay in power until lifting it in 1981. He was elected the same year to another full term, which was marred by personal health issues, government mismanagement, political repression, human rights violations, and rampant graft and corruption .
