Sara Duterte links Marcos family to Ninoy Aquino assassination
Vice President Sara Duterte implied that the Marcos family was responsible for the assassination of former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. while responding to President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s statement about security concerns.
Duterte questioned the difficulty of planning a presidential assassination, invoking the historical context of Ninoy Aquino's death.
The late Senator Aquino was a political adversary of the late President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., and his 1983 assassination was a catalyst for the People Power Revolution that ousted Marcos Sr.
The new article quotes Duterte asking, "Oo, 'di ba pumalag nga ang buong bayan nang pinatay ng pamilya nila si Benigno Aquino?"
However, the involvement of the Marcos family in Aquino's assassination was never definitively proven.
