President Ferdinand Marcos. President Marcos imposed martial law on the nation from 1972 to 1981 to suppress increasing civil strife and the threat of a communist takeover following a series of bombings in Manila. There was complete "anarchy" in the country. On 21 August 1971, while the opposition (Liberal Party) was having their meeting de avance in Plaza Miranda, two fragmentation grenades exploded. It took 9 lives and left more than 100 people seriously wounded. Some Liberal Party candidates were seriously injured, including Jovito Salonga, who nearly died and was visually impaired. Also, Sen. Eddie Ilarde was at the gathering was hit by a sharp nail in his leg. Suspicion of responsibility for the blast initially fell upon Marcos, whom the Liberals blamed for the bombing; however, in later years, prominent personalities associated with the event have laid the blame on the Communist Party of the Philippines under José María Sison.
