Marcos did everything in his power to ensure that he and some of his most loyal men would appear to be free of any culpability for the crime. He put Gregorio Cendaña, his information minister and chief propagandist, to work.
Of the many new names gamely proposed by some readers for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in a bid to satirize the proposed bill of Congressman Arnolfo Teves Jr., MAFIA -- for Meldy and Ferdie International Airport -- was the most impressive.

(NAI-UPDATE) Muling pinalutang ni dating senador Juan Ponce Enrile ang hindi napatunayang istorya na ang yumaong lider ng oposisyon na si Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. ang “nag-organisa” ng Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP); ang armadong hukbo nito, ang New People’s Army (NPA); at, Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
Former senator Juan Ponce Enrile rehashed an unproven claim that the late opposition leader Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. “organized” the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP); its armed-wing, the New People’s Army (NPA); and, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).

No presidential decree has been issued, nor a congressional act approved, to make the name change.
