The mystery surrounding the unsolved murder of Sen.

The documentary is a thoughtful combination of research, interviews, visuals, computer-generated images and a vivid reenactment of selected scenes directed by filmmaker Mike Alcazaren. It features footage and photos from the Aquino family's personal collection and the crowd of Filipinos who waited to welcome Aquino during his homecoming on August 21, 1983. Some of the images shown have never been shown on television...until now!

Well-said Dr. Fortun! I've always wanted to hear what she has to say about this...dahil ang version ni Prof. Bailen ang nagpipilit na nag-ricochet ang bala from the petrous bone papunta sa chin ni Ninoy, which as Dr. Fortun pointed out is "scientifically unsound."

F*ck the Marcos family... Why is it that Ilocanos still vote for them? are they still powerful as before or the Ilocanos are simply stupid because they still voted for the family of murderers, father of corruption

everytime i c d final minutes of ninoy di ko maiwasang maiyak hanggang ngayon. i remember yung nanay ko nuong nasa fort bonifacio pa ame nakatira inaantay nya sa tv yung balitang paguwe ni ninoy dito pinas. kitang-kita ko sa tv nuon 5years old pa lang ako pero very vivid yung pagkakita ko sa nakaputing mama na nakasubsob sa semento. ang natanung ko ke emats habang naiyak siya e "sino si ninoy?" mula noon dun nagsimula yung apoy sa sarili ko na lumaban sa mga pangaabuso atbp. salamat kay ninoy!!!

and how about the powder from the gun..did they checked Galman's hands if there were any also powder burns..

P-Noy is still a nice person. He shook the hands of Emelda Marcos and Bong-Bong Marcos. And during Cory`s wake. The Aquino`s children allow the Marcos children to attend Cory`s wake last year. Magawa kaya ng mga Marcos yan,kung sakanila nangyari e2 sa tatay nila?

@DrJ0SErizal what i meant by "plot" was the story they told the Monsignor. I agree that Martinez was probably just obeying orders. this is why i believe that the soldiers unanimously are still blaming it on Cojuangco. because they know na kung hindi lagot sila sa mga Marcoses. thanks for the reply.

[DrJ0SErizal]

@mrsuliban Martinez didn't know shit about the whole plot! What he knew were the things he was told by his superiors! Of course the top brass of the military would NEVER tell a pawn like Martinez who ordered the assassination! Bakit naman nila sasabihin sa kanya? The BEST way for them to divert attention? BLAME a MAKOY CRONY who happened to be a cousin-in-law of Ninoy! Ang nakakatawa pa, WALANG CONTROL SI DANDING SA MILITARY! Ang boss ni Martinez, si BGen. Luther Custodio ay bata ni GEN. VER!

[mrsuliban]

if Martinez' story was true, hindi parin mag-tally sa angle ng bullet. pamihado plot lang yun ng mga soldiers para mapardon sila and they placed the blame on cojuanco. grabe, wala talagang justice. X-(

[DrJ0SErizal]

0:59 Pagmasdan nyo ang ginawa nila kay NINOY! Kung ginawa ang pagpatay na yan sa tatay nyo, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL???

Tsk tsk tsk grabe! Ngayon ko lang nakita ang photo na ito in color! Kawawa naman si Ninoy...di na sila naawa!
