Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos Sr. was a Filipino politician, lawyer, dictator, and who was the 10th president of the Philippines from 1965 to 1986. He ruled under martial law from 1972 until 1981 and kept most of his martial law powers until he was deposed in 1986, branding his rule as "constitutional authoritarianism" under his Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (New Society Movement).
