The proclamation marked the beginning of a 14-year period of authoritarian rule, which would include 8 years of Martial Law (ending on January 17, 1981, through Proclamation No. 2045), followed by six more years where Marcos retained essentially all of his powers as dictator.

Marcos was finally ousted on February 25, 1986, as a result of the EDSA People Power Revolution.
