It has been more than three decades since the so-called “The Death of a Hero” happened. Justice was considered not served because the mastermind of the assassination of Senator Aquino was never revealed. Evidences and different arguments were presented but no one was able to unveil the truth behind the controversial death of the senator. However, it was inevitable that the blame was put on Marcos due to the fact that the senator was against his administration and was seeking democracy for the Philippines. The same goes for the rest of the Filipinos particularly in Luzon, especially the family of the senator. Personally, I am not anti nor pro Marcos. Up until now, I do not have a clear stand on it because of the many versions of what “really”

Unfortunately, they failed to present the side of Marcos. They presented the side of Marcos as the military and the government as a whole which he handled but never his personal say on the matter. The Aquino family was already convinced that Marcos did murder Ninoy. I believe that they did not even consider the possibility that the assassination was headed by another personother than Marcos. They were close-minded. Aside from that, I think they somehow contributed in implanting the thought of Marcos as the murderer to the minds of the Filipinos, taking advantage of the hatred they have against Marcos and the hope they have for Ninoy. The confession of Martinez was even rejected or ignored by them because Cojuangco was pointed out as the mastermind. A thorough investigation of Cojuangco was not even made.
As presented, the arrival of Ninoy in the Philippines was supposed to be a secret. No one should have known it including the government. However, information about it was leaked out that is why many Filipinos gathered and waited for him. And then, he was murdered. Based on the interviews, it was as if he was expecting that he was going to die. These aspects are somewhat …show more content…
I think someone already told him that and of course, blame Marcos for it. Someone he could trust maybe. Those interviews served as a clue to the people that he was about to be killed. Third, it was about Cojuangco. Based on my first and second arguments or questions, it seems that I am blaming him for what happened. No, I am not. But if we put Cojuangco in the story, everything will somehow make sense. He would have told Ninoy about his death upon arrival. Of course, I believe Cojuangco knew when his arrival was. He leaked out the information so that media and supporters would wait for his arrival. He may have used the hot issue between Marcos and Ninoy as an opportunity to murder Ninoy and put the blame on Marcos. If it was Cojuangco, the question here is why? Cojuangco was a known crony or friend of Marcos and was part of the group (Rolex 12) that helped in enforcing the Martial Law. During that time, he had a conflict with Ninoy’s family. However, the same can be said to any of the politicians in the government. If we also put them in the story, everything will also make sense. This is because of the problem on
