Status: Lost

At 7:15pm on September 23, 1972, then-president Ferdinand Marcos imposed martial law in the entire Philippines, broadcasting it on television.[1] With other Filipino political elites in jail or exiled, media was also affected. TV networks such as ABS-CBN, MBC, ABC-5, and newspapers were closed. Only Roberto Benedicto's KBS-9 (now RPN-9/CNN Philippines) and Philippine Daily Express were allowed to continue their operations, due to his association to Ferdinand Marcos. RBS TV and IBC was initially closed, but they were allowed by the government to return on the air few months later.
