'''Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos''' (September 11, 1917 – September 28, 1989) was a Filipino politician and lawyer who served as the [[President of the Philippines]] from 1965 to 1986. He ruled under martial law from 1972 until 1981 and his regime was marked by political repression, human rights violations, and corruption.

== Early Life and Education ==
Marcos was born in [[Sarrat, Ilocos Norte]], to Mariano Marcos and Josefa Edralin. He studied law at the [[University of the Philippines College of Law]], where he graduated cum laude in 1939. He passed the bar examinations with one of the highest scores in history.

== Political Career ==
Marcos began his political career as a member of the [[House of Representatives of the Philippines|House of Representatives]] in 1949, representing the 2nd district of [[Ilocos Norte]]. He later served as a [[Senate of the Philippines|Senator]] from 1959 to 1965.

=== Presidency ===
Marcos was elected as the 10th President of the Philippines in 1965. His first term was marked by infrastructure development and economic growth. He was re-elected in 1969, becoming the first and only Filipino president to win a second full term.

==== Martial Law ====
On September 21, 1972, Marcos declared [[martial law]] through [[Proclamation No. 1081]], citing the threat of communist insurgency. This allowed him to rule by decree, suppress dissent, and extend his term beyond the constitutional limits. Martial law was lifted in 1981, but Marcos retained his grip on power.

==== Economic Policies ====
Marcos implemented various economic policies aimed at industrialization and infrastructure development. However, his regime was also characterized by widespread corruption and cronyism, leading to economic decline and increased foreign debt.

==== Human Rights Violations ====
The Marcos regime was notorious for its human rights abuses, including arbitrary arrests, torture, and extrajudicial killings. The [[Philippine Commission on Human Rights]] estimates that thousands of Filipinos were victims of human rights violations during this period.

=== Downfall ===
Marcos's rule ended following the [[People Power Revolution]] in February 1986, a peaceful uprising that forced him into exile in [[Hawaii]]. He was succeeded by [[Corazon Aquino]], the widow of his political opponent [[Benigno Aquino Jr.]].

== Exile and Death ==
Marcos lived in exile in Hawaii until his death on September 28, 1989. His remains were returned to the Philippines in 1993 and are interred at the [[Marcos Museum and Mausoleum]] in [[Batac]], [[Ilocos Norte]].

== Legacy ==
Marcos's legacy remains controversial. While some credit him for his infrastructure projects and economic policies, others condemn his regime for its corruption, human rights abuses, and authoritarian rule.
