Campaign organizers hide the statue of democracy icon Ninoy Aquino to show 'the past is over' and support Ferdinand Marcos Jr. How will Tarlac vote on May 9? PHVote WeDecide
A staunch opponent of Marcos, Ninoy Aquino was murdered on the tarmac of the Manila airport upon his return to the Philippines on August 21, 1983, sparking mass protests that culminated three years later in the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution that ousted Marcos and catapulted Aquino’s widow, Corazon Aquino, to the presidency. Their only son Benigno Aquino III was also elected president in 2010.
For Tarlac native Gilbert Teodoro, who is running for senator under Marcos’ slate, what’s happening in his province is not historical revisionism. Teodoro is a nephew of Danding Cojuangco and Cory Aquino. Susan Yap, also running unopposed, said their support for Marcos is based on personal decisions not a party directive, since the NPC, now led by vice presidential candidate Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, has not made a decision yet on who to endorse.
