The Downfall of Marcos and
Return of Democratic
Government
The downfall of marcos and return of
democracy government
- The assassination of Benigno Aquino as he returned to
Manila in August 1983 was generally thought to have been
the work of the military; it became the focal point of a
renewed and more heavily supported opposition to
Marcos’s rule. By late 1985 Marcos, under mounting
pressure both inside and outside the Philippines, called a
snap presidential election for February 1986.
Corazon C. Aquino, Benigno’s widow, became the candidate
of a coalition of opposition parties. Marcos was declared the
official winner, but strong public outcry over the election
results precipitated a revolt that by the end of the month
had driven Marcos from power. Aquino then assumed the
presidency.
The downfall of marcos and return of democracy government
- Aquino’s great personal popularity and widespread international
support were instrumental in establishing the new government.
Shortly after taking office, she abolished the constitution of 1973 and
began ruling by decree. A new constitution was drafted and was
ratified in February 1987 in a general referendum; legislative
elections in May 1987 and the convening of a new bicameral congress
in July marked the return of the form of government that had been
present before the imposition of martial law in 1972.
The downfall of marcos and return of democracy government
-Euphoria over the ouster of Marcos proved to be short-lived, however. The new
government had inherited an enormous external debt, a severely depleted
economy, and a growing threat from Moro and communist insurgents. The
Aquino administration also had to weather considerable internal dissension,
repeated coup attempts, and such natural disasters as a major earthquake and
the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo. The resumption of active partisan politics,
moreover, was the beginning of the end of the coalition that had brought Aquino
to power. Pro-Aquino candidates had won a sweeping victory in the 1987
legislative elections, but there was less support for her among those elected to
provincial and local offices in early 1988. By the early 1990s the criticisms
against her administration—i.e., charges of weak leadership, corruption, and
human rights abuses—had begun to stick.

- The purpose of the documents was to declare the sovereignty and independence of
the Philippines from the colonial dominion of the Spaniards. The Declaration of the
Philippines Independence isimportant not only for our ancestors but also for all of us
because this served as evidence of thefreedom of our country from the colonist even
if the country's independence was not performed instantly
-The existence of the Philippine Independence compiles and reveals all the
experiences ofour ancestors that arose throughout the colonialization that happened
back in 300 years, and thisclarifies why the Philippines honors Independence Day
every 12th of June yearly. This shows that Filipinos can now prove that the
Philippines and Filipinos were capable of being free fromthe colonizers, can live
without any hindrances, and can now achieve equality. It motivates the Filipinos to
be more independent and to fight for what's right, not only for ourselves but also for
our country
