LOOK BACK: The Aquino assassination

ICON. Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino Jr was regarded as the staunchest opponent of the dictatorship of then president Ferdinand Marcos. Photo from the Presidential Museum and Library Flickr accountConsidered one of the staunchest opponents of then president Ferdinand Marcos, Aquino was regarded as a contributing factor in the transformation of the small opposition during Martial Law.

In 1980, after 7 years in prison, Marcos allowed Aquino to have bypass surgery in the United States after a heart attack. After his operation in Texas, the Aquino family settled in Boston, Massachusetts. However, the family patriarch continued being critical of the Marcos administration. During an interview before he flew back to the country using a passport with the name “Marcial Bonifacio”, Aquino was quoted as saying, “I cannot allow myself to be petrified by the fear of assassination and spend my life in a corner.”

A few seconds after he exited the airplane, gunshots were heard. As the firing cleared, a bloodied Aquino was seen lying on the ground together with another body later identified as Rolando Galman.

All elderly people only tell you the same thing life during Marcos was far better than after it. Ninoy's death was a totally sham, a hoax only the elites and the oligarchs benefited from it..tsek! Gising pinoys!
