#OnThisDay September 21, 1972, President Ferdinand E. Marcos signs the Martial Law edict (Proclamation No. 1081) to be imposed nationwide; at that time not publicly announced.[1]

Proclamation No. 1081 was the document, which contained formal proclamation of martial law in the Philippines by President Ferdinand E. Marcos, as announced to the public on September 23, 1972.

According to the Official Gazette of the Philippines: When President Ferdinand E. Marcos appeared on television at 7:15pm on September 23, 1972, to announce that he had placed the “entire Philippines under Martial Law” by virtue of Proclamation No. 1081, he framed his announcement in legalistic terms that, however, were untrue, and that has helped camouflage the true nature of his act. Thus, the Anniversary of the Declaration of Martial Law is on September 23, 1972 - not September 21, 1972.[2][3]
