MARTIAL LAW
POSITIVE EFFECTS

1. Eradicate criminality: In the event that a nation is covered by

a arrangement of negative components that proceed to hurt the society,
the pioneer is presently forced to announce Military Law. This is often to
neutralize all
criminal wrongdoers capable for gambling the security and exemption again
st the society. Restoration of peace is one of the most issues
why Military Law is critical to the society once in a  whereas so that the
level of wrongdoing rates can essentially go down and protect the welfare of
the society. 
2. Improve peace: Military Law proclamation would cruel that peace is the
most objective so that it'll give a degree for the society to live in peace. All
society need peace in their community since they need to have the chance to
promote their socio-economic way of life. The pioneer must got to do
an prompt activity so that their community will be free from any sorts
of unsettling influences that might hazard the state of peace that
their individuals are as of now getting a charge out of it.
3. Eliminate any signs of terrorism:  Terrorism is presently one of the
foremost risky security issues influencing the security and thriving of a
certain country. In the event that fear based
oppression is exceptionally wild in your community, pronouncing Martial
Law is essential. This is often to flush out all safeguarding who are
terrorizing the community and responsible for provoking hurt, terrorizing,
and impelling to the serene society that you just are right now living.
4. Remove corrupt official: Public authorities who are degenerate will be
under scorn, which is able permit the run the show of law to secure them
due to their botches. Usually since there are a
few government authorities who are utilizing the
government fair to fulfil their self-
greed. Evacuating degenerate authorities is
more proficient when Military Law is connected since there are a more
tightly execution and requirement of the law.
5. Promotes equality and equity: In each society, one must
apply correspondence, which gives rise to rights
that point to ensure the respect as well as the picture of all person, bunch,
and organization. As for value, it looks
for to advance benefit and legitimizes any rights of each part of the society
 for the reason of giving them with the opportunity to gotten to
be profitable in their lives. Any suspicious exercises or endeavors to
require advantage towards others will be secured by the law.

NEGATIVE EFFECTS

1. The warrantless arrests: Casualties were struck and captured in

their claim homes without warrants, and wrongfully confined without
charges or clear data around the status of their case. Capture, Look and
Seizure Orders (ASSO) did
not experience its normal bureaucratic handle and at times
were simply records of individuals to be captured. Since of
the need of earlier examination, military men might embed names within
the list of individuals to be captured.
2. The indefinite detention without charges:
Indefinite detainment is the imprisonment of an captured individual by a
national government or law authorization organization without a trial;
the hone damages numerous national and worldwide laws, counting human
rights laws.
3. Restriction of some rights: Second, with an ML proclamation or
suspension of the privilege, the constitutional rights to privacy of
communication, to travel and to liberty of abode may be restricted on the
ground of public safety, provided Congress passes a law specifically
authorizing such restriction.
4. Abuse of power: The thing with control is that individuals like to play
with it. Fair acknowledge it. We all do it. We all play with
the control we got, to a few amplify. Playing is fine. The individual ought
to know where they stand. they ought to know what they can
get absent with. They have to be get it their possess position of control. They
do, in any case, have to be figure out how they stand ethically with
this control. Certain choices ought to not be made
5. Emergency powers and military courts: Third, David vs
Arroyo (May 3, 2006), citing Art. VI, Sec. 23 of the Constitution, held that
during national emergencies, including rebellion, the Congress may, by law,
authorize the President to exercise emergency powers to carry out a declared
national policy provided that “such powers shall cease upon the next
adjournment of Congress.”
 THE PROS AND CONS OF MARCOS REGIME
The late Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos Sr. was known as a despot and he had
been questionable since at that point until presently. He to begin with situated as the President of the
Philippines back in December 1965 until February 1986. Marcos ruled the Philippines for over 20 a long
time. In September 23, 1972, he pronounced ‘martial law’ due to charged assault from rebels and
communists.

He was removed when Individuals Control Insurgency rose which at that point made

for previous President Corazon Aquino to supplant him. In 1989 at the age of 72, Marcos passed on in
Hawaii, Joined together States. Beneath the organization of President Rodrigo Duterte, Marcos was at
long last permitted to be buried at the “Libingan ng mga Bayani”
which numerous Filipinos challenged to.

PROS
Infrastructures
During the time of Marcos, infrastructures in the country had bloomed. As
written by Max Sangil in SunStar, Marcos administration was able to build the Cultural
Center of the Philippines, Kidney Center, Philippine Heart Center, Folk Arts Center. Marcos
also put up the Lung Center, San Juanico Bridge, and the Manila Film Center.
Criminal activities
According to Sangil as well, the criminality lowered during the time of Marcos
due to the curfew imposed as part of martial law. The corruption also lessened in government
agencies like Bureau of Customs and Bureau of Internal Revenue to the point that they
brought their own “baon” for lunch when they used to eat at the Manila Hotel before.
Transportation and Geothermal power
 Marcos was the man behind the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) as well as
the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). During his regime, Manila Light Rail Transit (LRT) was
also built. All these are still being used by the Filipinos up until now. According to Lopez Link,
in 1983, Philippines became the world’s second largest producer of geothermal power.
CONS
Philippines’ external debt
In a report by ABS-CBN News, Marcos went on a ‘borrowing spree’ in
between the 70’s to early 80’s. In 1975, the external debt reached from $4.1 billion to $8.2
billon. In 1982, it went higher up to $24.4 billion. The debt exceeded more than the exports at
that time.
Freedom of Expression and of the Press
When Marcos declared martial law, the media was shut down. As written by
Jose Santos and Melanie Pinlac in Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR)’s
website, media practitioner as well as the opposition personalities who criticized Marcos were
brought to military camps for detention. As per Department of Public Information (DPI)
mandated, all media publications must seek permission from them first. Marcos also issued a
Presidential Decree to penalize anyone who would “undermine the integrity if the
government” through print or even just possessing leaflets about it. Everything went through
censorship.
Human rights violation
As reported by The Manila Times, around 3, 257 were killed during the martial
law. The data was written by American historian Alfred McCoy who authored A Question of
Torture and Policing America’s Empire.
