The proclamation marked the beginning[1][2] of a 14-year period of authoritarian rule, which would include 8 years of Martial Law (ending on January 17, 1981, through Proclamation No. 2045),[3][4] followed by six more years where Marcos retained essentially all of his powers as dictator.[5][6]
Marcos was finally ousted on February 25, 1986, as a result of the EDSA People Power Revolution.[1]
