Ferdinand Marcos (1917–1989) was a Filipino politician who served as the 10th President of the Philippines from 1965 to 1986. Initially elected on a platform of economic development and national unity, Marcos is best known for his two-decade rule, during which he declared martial law in 1972.
Under martial law, Marcos centralized power, curtailed civil liberties, and suppressed opposition, often with the use of military force. His regime was marked by widespread corruption, human rights abuses, and the accumulation of vast personal wealth.
Despite some early infrastructure projects and modernization efforts, his presidency is largely remembered for its authoritarianism. The Marcos government was overthrown in 1986 by the People Power Revolution, a peaceful uprising that led to his exile in Hawaii.
He died in 1989 without facing trial for the accusations against him, though his legacy remains controversial in Philippine history. His wife, Imelda Marcos, also gained notoriety for her extravagant lifestyle.
