FERDINAND E. MARCOS takes the oath as sixth President of the Republic of the Philippines on December 30, 1965 at the Luneta Independence grandstand. He was to open an era that marked the imperceptible erosion of democracy in the Philippines, culminating in his declaration of martial law on Sept. 21, 1972, as a means of setting up Asia’s worst totalitarian dictatorship in this century.
