Is Martial Law considered a tyrannical rule?

Two days ago in the Philippines, we commemorated the People Power Revolution, its 30th Anniversary in fact. I would like to pose this as a question, can Martial Law be considered a tyrannical rule? How and when? Given our history, Marcos implemented Martial Law when Communist guerrillas started a rebellion in the southern part of the Philippines. After he was ousted from office, people are getting uncomfortable in the word 'Martial Law.'

Martial Law puts even more power in the hands of the government. I can understand it, although I don't agree with it, in war times. But then, it's just a way of tyranny.

JD Baring: I'd also say yes. Taking away liberty doesn't buy security.

tyrannical- Tyrannical rule is the opposite of democratic rule, which places the power in the people, the majority of whom makes the decisions. Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Joseph Stalin are three examples of the 20th century's most tyrannical dictators.
