During Martial Law years in the Philippines, President Ferdinand Marcos initially ruled effectively during his first term from 1965-1969, increasing infrastructure development and modernizing the military. However, growing unrest due to a communist insurgency, student protests, and rising crime led Marcos to declare Martial Law in 1972, suspending civil liberties.
