During the first term of Marcos and the second senatorial election, most of the Nationalista Party
candidate won except for one, Senator Benigno Aquino from the Liberal Party. On Aquinos first
privilege speech, he denounced the militarism in Marcos government. Also on the same year, another
scandal broke which is with Dovie Beams having an affair with President Marcos.
Scandals still fresh from peoples mind, Marcos ran for the second time as president during the 1969
elections. It was one of the dirtiest, fraudulent, and the most expensive elections in Philippine history.
Loss of public confidence was even more pronounced during the 1971 elections after the Plaza Miranda
Bombing.
