After independence, the Philippines struggled under the dictatorship of "Ferdinand Marcos".
In 1965, Ferdinand Marcos won the presidential election and turned into the tenth President of the Philippines. The Marcos organization left an inheritance that was covered with defilement and power manhandles. As indicated by student of history Alfred McCoy, upwards of 3,257 individuals were killed, 35,000 tormented, and 70,000 illicitly kept under his routine. Revenge came in 1986, when Filipinos propelled the People Power Revolution to oust President Marcos.
