Presidential and Vice- Presidential Candidates: Nacionalista-Ferdinand Marcos and Fernando Lopez Liberal- Sergio Osmeña, Jr. and Genaro Magsaysay
Candidates from the KBL, Nacionalista, Federal Party, Sovereign Citizen Party, and independents
KBL‘ s Ferdinand Marcos- Arturo Tolentino and
the UNIDO-LABAN Coalition’ s Cory Aquino- Salvador Laurel
|
The campaign can be characterized as an exchange of accusations and attacks on issues concerning nationalism, land reform, foreign policy, cronyism, and graft and corruption.
It was a move by Marcos to submit himself to the electoral process to regain legitimacy for his administration; a relevant Presidential Proclamation was issued which limited the campaign days and changed the age requirement for presidential candidate from 45 to 50 years; such prevented Ninoy Aquino to run for president KBL’ s slogan“ Cory walang alam” played on Cory’ s inexperience while Aquino’ s slogan“ Tama na, Sobra Na, Palitan Na” became the rallying event on the day Marcos was ousted
|
Marcos won and became the first RP president to be reelected. Party-mate Fernando Lopez won the vice-presidency. Nacionalista Party also won majority of the House seats.
Marcos won by a landslide.( see tally)
This election was described as the“ most legally-biased elections as the Proclamation was designed to ensure victory for Marcos”.
Comelec declared Marcos and Tolentino as winners while Namfrel count reflected Aquino and Laurel’ s victory.( see tally) Instances of election irregularities were reported: cases of missing voters’ names, ballot snatching, missing voters’ list and voting materials, cases of election violence. Due to the People Power Uprising at EDSA and pressure from US government, Marcos was overthrown from Malacañang and left for Hawaii.
