Ramos was also instrumental in the second EDSA Revolution against then president Joseph Estrada in 2001.Fabian Ver was AFP chief under Marcos and was accused of masterminding the assassination of Benigno Aquino Jr. He, together with other soldiers implicated by the fact-finding commission, was acquitted in 1985.
Among the members of RAM were Enrile’s aide-de-camp at the time, Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan II, and Lt Col Eduardo “Red” Kapunan. Kapunan, meanwhile, was implicated in the murder of labor leader Rolando Olalia and Leonor Alay-ay in November 1986. He was detained in 2012 but was released on bail in 2014. In 2017, Kapunan became theINFLUENTIAL LEADER. Comelec chairman Victorio Savellano kisses the ring of Jaime Cardinal Sin during a Mass at the Manila Cathedral.
