Proclamation 2045 After amending the constitution and enacting legislative, Marcos issued Proclamation 2045, which lifted martial law, on January 17, 1981, without restoring habeas corpus for rebellion and subversion-related crimes. The lifting of martial law was synchronized with the election of US President Ronald Reagan and the visit of Pope John Paul II, to get support from Reagan and minimize Papal criticism.
