  • The 1981 Philippine presidential election and national referendum was held on June 16, 1981. President Ferdinand E. Marcos of the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL) defeated retired general and World War II veteran Alejo Santos of the Nacionalista Party in a landslide victory. Most opposition parties boycotted the election as a sign of protest over the 1978 election for the Interim Batasang Pambansa (National Assembly), which they condemned as fraudulent. At the same time, a national referendum was held on the question in holding elections for barangay elections in 1982. Marcos' 80% margin of victory is the most lopsided Philippine presidential election ever, beating out Manuel L. Quezon's landslide victory of 64% in 1941. Marcos getting 88% of the vote is also the largest in Philippine presidential election history, also beating Quezon's 1941 record of 82%. This is also the most votes received by a person in the Philippines for a single-winner election until 2022 when Sara Duterte won 32 million votes; for multiple-winner elections, it was beaten by Mar Roxas in 2004 with 19 million votes. This was also the presidential election with the most number of candidates, with 13, although nine candidates with the fewest votes collectively just got 0.13% of the vote. Marcos would have served another six-year term ending in 1987, but it was cut short by the 1986 snap election that eventually resulted in his ouster in the People Power Revolution. (en)
  • Las elecciones presidenciales de Filipinas de 1981 se celebraron el 16 de junio, fueron las primeras elecciones presidenciales durante el régimen de Marcos, debido a que hasta entonces el país era nominalmente una república parlamentaria en la que el presidente no era electo directamente. Marcos instauró entonces una república con un sistema semipresidencial para poder ser reelegido directamente. Marcos, como candidato de su partido, el Kilusang Bagong Lipunan, derrotó al candidato Nacionalista y veterano de la Segunda Guerra Mundial con más del 88% de los votos. Para entonces, la oposición, representada en la coalición política Organización Democrática Nacionalista Unida (UNIDO) había decidido boicotear los procesos electorales bajo el régimen de Marcos después del fraude cometido en las legislativas de 1978, dejando al dictador sin competencia electoral real. La victoria del 88% de Marcos es considerada la más abultada en una elección presidencial filipina, superando el 80% que obtuvo Manuel L. Quezon en 1941. Sin embargo, debido a que la elección es considerada ilegítima y fraudulenta, Quezón todavía conserva el récord de ser el presidente democrático en ganar con mayor porcentaje. Marcos ganó un mandato de seis años que se vio interrumpido por la igualmente fraudulenta elección de 1986 y la democratización del país tras la Revolución EDSA. (es)
  • Le elezioni presidenziali nelle Filippine del 1981 si tennero il 16 giugno. La sfida oppose il Presidente uscente, Ferdinand Marcos, e l'ex militare Alejo Santos. Numerosi partiti di opposizione boicottarono le elezioni in segno di protesta, accusando l'amministrazione di manomissione dei risultati. Per la massima carica si presentarono tredici persone, evento senza precedenti nella storia filippina, sebbene per dieci di esse si trattasse di candidature di disturbo. Il margine di vittoria di oltre 16 milioni di voti di Marcos (80%) è considerato il più alto nella storia delle elezioni presidenziali filippine, superando anche quello di Manuel Quezón nel 1941 (pari al 63%). Marcos sarebbe restato in carica ininterrottamente fino al 25 febbraio 1985, giorno del suo esilio forzato per le Hawaii per via della rivoluzione del Rosario. (it)
