THE PHILIPPINES DURING MARTIAL LAW ERA
In September 1972 Marcos declared martial law, claiming that it was
the last defense against the rising disorder caused by increasingly
violent student demonstrations, the alleged threats of communist
insurgency by the new Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP),
and the Muslim separatist movement of the Moro National Liberation
Front (MNLF). One of his first actions was to arrest opposition
politicians in Congress and the Constitutional Convention. Initial
public reaction to martial law was mostly favorable except in Muslim
areas of the south, where a separatist rebellion, led by the MNLF,
broke out in 1973. Despite halfhearted attempts to negotiate a cease-
fire, the rebellion continued to claim thousands of
military and civilian casualties. Communist insurgency expanded
with the creation of the National Democratic Front (NDF), an
organization embracing the CPP and other communist groups.

It is through the communication process that the
sharing of a common meaning between the sender and
the receiver takes place. Individuals that follow the

become more productive in every aspect of their
profession.Effective communication leads to
understanding.
