    Martial law was declared in the Philippines by President Ferdinand Marcos in September 1972. Marcos claimed rising disorder caused by student demonstrations and threats from communist and Muslim separatist groups necessitated this action. Under martial law, civil rights were suspended and opposition politicians were arrested. While some initially supported martial law, Muslim separatist violence increased. Martial law officially ended in 1981, though Marcos retained decree-making powers, and the 1987 Constitution now protects against similar unilateral actions.

    Martial Law

    1971-1986
    •Martial Law
    -is the imposition of direct
    military control of normal civilian
    functions by a
    government,especially in response
    to a temporary emergency such
    as invasion or major disaster,or
    in an occupied territory.
    Martial Law in the Philippines
    (BAT‘AS MILITAR SA PILIPINAS)
    • Refers to several intermittent periods in the
    philippine history,wherein the philippine head
    of state(such as the president)places an area
    under the control of the Armed Forces of the
    Philippines and its predecessor bodies.Martial
    Law is declared either when there is a near-
    violent civil unrest or in cases of major natural
    disasters,however most countries use a
    different legal construct like’’state of
    emergency’’
    Typicaly,the imposition of martial
    law accompanies curfews,the
    suspension of civil law,civil
    rights,habeas corpus,and the
    application of extension of military
    law or military justice to
    civilians.Civilians defying martial law
    maybe subjected to military
    tribunals(court martial)
    • In September 1972 Marcos declared martial
    law,claiming that he was the last defense
    against rising disorder cause by
    increasingly violent student
    demonstrations,the alleged threats of
    communist insurgency by the new
    Communist Party of the Philippines
    (CPP),and the muslim separatist movement
    of the Moro National Liberation
    Front(MNLF).One of his first actions was to
    arrest opposition politicians in Congress
    and Constitutional Convention.Initial public
    reaction to martial law was mostly
    favourable except in muslim areas of the
    south,where a separist rebellion ,led by the
    MNLF,broke out in 1973.
    Ferdinand E. Marcos
    Explanations for the declaration of
    Martial Law:
    • Numerous explanations have been put
    forward as reasons for Marcos to declare
    martial law in September 1972,some of which
    were presented by the Marcos administration
    as official justifications,and some of which
    were dissenting perspectives put forward by
    either the mainstream political opposition or
    by analyst studying the political economy of
    decision.
    • By declaring martial law,Marcos
    suspended the writ of habeas
    corpus and also 1935
    Constitution,dissolved Congress
    and padlocked the doors to the
    Batasang Pambansa,and
    assuming both legistative and
    executive powers.Proclamation
    No.1081 was dated 21
    September 1972 but it was
    Marcos’ September 1972 proclamation
    of martial law and had major repercussions for the
    1971 Constitutional Convention .Marcos arrested the
    leadership of the opposition bloc of the convention
    which wanted to make sure Marcos would not stay in a
    power longer than two terms allowed him under 1935
    constituion.Eventually,a group of Marcos supporting
    delegates led by Gilberto Duavit came up with an
    entirely new draft of the constitution,which they
    submitted to Malacang for the ratification within only 2
    months of the proclamation of martial law.
    When Marcos became president
    in 1965,Philippine policy and
    politics functioned under a
    Post-World War 2 geopolitical
    framework .
    After gaining independence
    from the US after the war.
