    Old videos where the late senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. showed his support for the legalization of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the New People’s Army (NPA) were resurrected to refute claims that the late senator was a “hero.” This needs context.

    How Marcos suppressed the truth behind Ninoy Aquino’s assassination

    By Larah Vinda Del Mundo  |  Aug 21, 2022 3:14 PM
