THOSE WHO LIVED THROUGH the Marcos years would probably remember how Marcos seemed to have been president forever. Elected to his first term in 1965, Ferdinand E. Marcos won a second term in 1969. He declared Martial Law three years later, effectively allowing him an extension that ran for the next fourteen years.
With a presidency that spans 21 years, Marcos would logically have given the most number of State of the Nation Addresses of any president of the Republic.
So now the question for today’s Data a Day:
In all, how many State of the Nation Addresses did President Ferdinand Marcos deliver?
That should be a fairly easy question to answer. Those who want to double check may go to our MoneyPolitics online website, or go straight to the site’s answer page here.
