Proclamation No. 1081 was the document which contained formal proclamation of martial law in the Philippines by President Ferdinand Marcos, as announced to the public on September 23, 1972.[1][2]
The proclamation marked the onset[1][2] of a 14-year period of authoritarian rule, which would include eight years of Martial Law (de jure ending on January 17, 1981, through Proclamation No. 2045),[3][4] but not de facto : followed by six more years where Marcos retained essentially all of his powers as dictator.[5][6]
Marcos was eventually ousted on February 25, 1986, as a result of the EDSA People Power Revolution.[1]
