Philippine general election, 1981
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Presidential elections and national referendum were held simultaneously on June 16, 1981 in the Philippines. President Ferdinand E. Marcos of the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan defeated former Gen. Alejo Santos of the Nacionalista Party in a landslide victory. Most opposition parties boycotted the elections as a sign of protest over the 1978 elections for an interim Batasang Pambansa (National Assembly) which they condemned as fraudulent. In the referendum, the majority voted YES to hold the barangay elections pursuant to Proclamation No. 2088.
