Atienza said during the Pandesal Forum on Monday, August 21, at the Kamuning Bakery Café in Quezon City which coincided with the 52nd anniversary of the incident that Sison was the mastermind of the August 21, 1971 blast that killed nine persons, including a five-year-old child and Manila Times photographer Ben Roxas.
Atienza, who was a member of the Liberal Party in 1972 and was also injured during the incident, said top party officials and their candidates in the Manila elections polls were holding a rally in Plaza Miranda when a bomb suddenly exploded. Corpus, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class of 1967, joined the NPA due to alleged corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines in 1970 and shortly after led the raid of the Philippine Military Academy armory in Baguio City on December 29 of that year.
Aquino reinstated Corpuz in the AFP in 1987 with the rank of lieutenant colonel, retired as a brigadier general in 2004, and served as the head of the Intelligence Service of the AFP prior to his retirement.
