The effects of Marcos martial law was almost like [[Hitler]]'s Third Reich of certain parts of Europe and repression from [[Kim Il-Sung]] and Kim Dynasty of North Korea, and propaganda was circulated under him, the advent of New Society while suppressing civil liberties and freedoms, promoting censorship, abolishing congress, violating human rights or sanctity to life. People like this were likely to live in fear rather than speak against Marcos. As such, not only citiziens were disciplined and were afraid to break the law, some and others were also punished for their crimes as seen under Nazi Germany and modern-day North Korea.

The Marcosian martial law is believed to be the darkest chapter in the history of the Philippines, leaving a trauma to those fell victim under its cause. But the [[Marcos Loyalists|Marcos loyalists]] say it was paradise, a wonderful period, the smiling martial law and golden age under Marcos itself; this includes current President of the Philippines [[Rodrigo Duterte]], along with Marcos cronies whether living or dead. Although most historians and victims of the Martial Law era refuted every claims they have made. In spite of the numerous legitimate sources and documents relating to the victims and human rights violations during the era, the Marcos supporters, like [[Bongbong Marcos]] denied most of the alleged killings and tortures that happened, apathetically labelling the victims as "undisciplined" or even "[[New People's Army|"communists" and "rebels"]].
