Claim: During the 1973 Philippine constitutional plebiscite, Ferdinand Marcos issued Proclamation No. 1102 certifying that the 1973 Constitution had been ratified, which was challenged by the Ratification Cases (officially titled as Javellana v. Executive Secretary (G.R. No. L-36142, March 31, 1973; 50 SCRA 30)) heard by the Philippine Supreme Court.
Evidence: On 17 January 1973, Marcos issued Proclamation No. 1102 certifying and proclaiming that the 1973 Constitution had been ratified by the Filipino people and thereby was in effect. These results were challenged by the Ratification Cases heard by the Philippine Supreme Court in 1973. The Ratification Cases, officially titled as Javellana v. Executive Secretary (G.R. No. L-36142, March 31, 1973; 50 SCRA 30), was a 1973 Supreme Court of the Philippines case that allowed the 1973 Philippine Constitution to come into full force, which led to dictator President Ferdinand Marcos staying in power and ruling by decree until he was ousted by the People Power Revolution in 1986.
