On September 23, 1972, President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. went on live television and announced Proclamation No. 1081, placing the entire Philippines under Martial Law. What followed was nearly 14 years of one-man rule, part of his 20-year hold on the presidency, until millions of Filipinos took to EDSA in 1986 and forced him out in the People Power Revolution.
This single broadcast reshaped Philippine history for a generation, and the footage of that announcement is still one of the most replayed moments in the country's political history.
