Philippines (1986: Fall of Democracy)

The Republic of the Philippines is a democratic state in South East Asia. It is formerly a socialist state established by Ferdinand Marcos but became a democratic state again after the 2016 Philippine Revolution.

History
On August 21, 1983, Marcos' chief rival, opposition leader Benigno Aquino Jr., was assassinated on the tarmac at Manila International Airport. Marcos eventually called snap presidential elections in 1986. Marcos was proclaimed the winner, but the results were widely regarded as fraudulent. Cardinal Jaime Sin then roused the people to rebel, leading to the People Power Revolution, but failed. People were killed due to explosions and rebels tried to do violence, but failed with alot of soldiers of Marcos. Marcos then declared Philippines now a socialist state as he said "to calm the people down".

About 100,000 people were killed during the People Power Revolution, however it is unverified. Marcos imposed a stricter martial law, sending people to camps if they don't follow. Channel 7 is closed down, and his political opponents/people partipicated in PPR disappeared or killed. One of which is Corazon Aquino and Cardinal Jaime Sin.

Relations between United States were cut, due to President Ronald Reagan and the US Senate saying that Marcos should give up. Instead, he is putting relations between the Soviet Union and North Korea. Marcos built nuclear plants over the Philippines such as Pampanga, Cebu, and Manila. This made United States and the Southeast Asia worried.

Marcos died in September 28, 1989. He was replaced with Imelda Marcos. On 1991, Soviet Union fell. Philippines established relations with the Southeast Asia, to lower the tensions within the Southeast Asia. Still, more coup d'état are happening, but the bloodiest one is the Manila Massacre of '93.
