Background Information

COMPANY NAME

Context

Ferdinand Marcos was the president of the Philippines, elected in 1965, and was credited with bringing economic development to the country. Over his presidency his regime gradually became authoritarian, ending up in declaration of martial law in 1972. Ninoy Aquino was an avid critic of Marcos and arguably his biggest political threat. After being framed and cornered in prison by Marcos, Ninoy was forced into self exile in 1980 due to medical concerns. 3 Years later he chose to return back to the Philippines to resume his political campaign against Marcos.
