Some of the major political happenings in the Philippines during those years include:
1. The declaration of Martial Law on September 21, 1972 by President Ferdinand Marcos;
2. Persecution of political oppositionists including Benigno Aquino, and Jovito Salonga, among a very long list;
3. Adoption of a new constitution in 1973, providing for a parliamentary system of government;
4. Adoption of Amendment No. 6 in 1976, giving President Marcos sweeping powers;
5. Creation of a Metropolitan authority overseeing the development of the Metropolian Manila area;
6. Communist insurgency;
7. Muslim separatism in Mindanao and Sulu.
There are many more, but I am pressed for time.

In early 1970's, there were student activism and civil unrest against President Ferdinand Marcos. He was noted as a corrupt dictator who declared Martial Law in September 1972. Because of close ties between US and President Marcos, the US government continued to support Marcos even though his administration was well-known for massive corruption and extensive human rights abuse.

that is an straight forward one. If the international receives too warm, we've shown that we may be able to live on it because the "Cradles of Civilization" were in warm, dry aspects. If the international receives chilly, then we've already shown that we may be able to face up to ice a lengthy time period, and that is with out any "intense" technologies. If the international receives overpopulated, this is going to, out of necessity, stability itself out. i do not imagine we make certain to rigidity about surviving the subsequent one hundred years. the real question is a thanks to we save the subsequent one hundred years from growing the subsequent darkish Age.
