Marcos’s greatest moment was EDSA 1, when he was no longer just a bar topnotcher of unprecedented record, or the most decorated Filipino hero of World War II, or when he became President of the Philippines or the only reelected President of the Republic, but Ferdinand E. Marcos’s greatest moment was EDSA 1 when as President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the most powerful man in the country, he did not use Power to Hurt or Kill those who betrayed him, but He used Power Selflessly for Peace and Love. At this point He no longer was just a Bar Topnotcher, War Hero, President or Father of a Country, at this point in President Ferdinand E. Marcos’s life, he too had become a Mother of the Nation, with Selfless and Endless Love for his Country and People” In 1965, President Marcos was elected on a wave of hope that he would make this nation great, with a broad electoral mandate to deal with the country’s chronic socio-economic problems. His first term was innovative; he surpassed the achievements of his predecessors put together. In 1969 he became the first Philippine President to be reelected – but corruption and lawlessness and the wide disparity between the rich and the poor that gripped the country were as pervasive as ever. The growing threat of communist insurgency and the secessionist problem in Mindanao further eroded the political stability of the country. In September 1972 President Marcos declared martial law to restore law and order and to build a new society
