@liamomaraiv.bsky.socialThe #authoritarian rule of #FerdinandMarcos began in the #Philippines with #Proclamation1081 on #ThisDayInHistory in 1972. This established #MartialLaw in the island country, lasting effectively until the #PeoplePowerRevolution of 1986. Never forget that a state can be defeated.

While running for President in 1965 #FerdinandMarcos nudged the Senate into retroactively awarding him some 20 medals for heroism, nine of them on the same day.

@paulinepark.bsky.social#FerdinandMarcos was born in the #Philippines #OnThisDay in 1917; his rule (1965-1986) "was infamous for its corruption, extravagance & brutality" before he was toppled by the People Power Revolution; the US should never have supported his #dictatorship...
