Economic Social Political

The 21-year period of Philippine
economic history during Ferdinand
Marcos’ regime from his election in 1965
until he was ousted by the People Power
Revolution in 1986 was a period of
significant economic lows.The early part
of Ferdinand Marcos' administration
continued the rising growth rate which
characterized the previous
administrations of the Third Philippine
Republic, peaking at nearly 9 percent in
1973 and 1976.
The Commission mobilized the Balikatan
sa Kaunlaran, a nationwide women’s
movement organized to create
opportunities for expanded roles of
women in the nation’s economic, social,
and political activities. They mobilized
women leaders in villages, cities,
municipalities, and provinces. They
involved them in programs and projects
that could improve women’s
participation, leadership, livelihood, and
income generation skills to augment the
family income.
He was elected the President of the
Philippines in 1965 and presided over an
economy that grew during the beginning
of his 20-year rule but would end in the
loss of livelihood, extreme poverty and a
crushing debt crisis. He pursued an
aggressive program of infrastructure
development funded by foreign debt,
making him popular during his first
term, although it triggered an
inflationary crisis which led to social
unrest in his second term
