KRIS AQUINO’S STUPIDITY AND DELUSION!

29 Nov. 2017

I’m sure a lot of you guys have already read or heard of this DELUSION AND STUPIDITY of Kris Aquino, in reference to her late father Ninoy: “The truth is you do owe this man the fact that you have freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of the press today - because he had the balls to actually die for his country- in super clear language, hindi siya inurungan ng bayag kahit alam niya nung pababa siya ng eroplano na babarilin na siya sa tarmac ng airport.”

For those who were not born yet or were too young to understand the situation then, Ninoy was assassinated on his return from self-exile from the US in 1983 and his foremost political foe, former President Ferdinand Marcos was the prime suspect. So before anybody gets FOOLED by this BRAINLESS publicity stunt of Kris, let’s be VERY, VERY CLEAR:

Obviously, Kris is alluding to the People Power revolt in 1986 which ousted Marcos from power in 1986 which resulted in the supposed restoration of the freedoms she cited, Bur FOR THE INFORMATION of the youth and the RECOLLECTION of the rest of us:   

First: Ninoy’s death WAS NOT THE REASON, OR MAIN REASON, BEHIND People Power. The revolt was due to a lot other reasons like supposed massive corruption.   Second: Ninoy has been dead FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS when People Power erupted. From the time he was killed until the revolt began, NO ONE AMONG NINOY’S FOLLOWERS or the Aquino family and clan HAD THE GUTS to start a revolution to unseat Marcos from the presidency.  So for Kris, and anyone else among their camp, to claim that we owe our supposedly restored freedoms to Ninoy is NOTHING LESS THAN IDIOTIC ARROGANCE.

Third: If anyone should be credited for People Power, it’s then Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and his then chief security officer Gringo Honasan. NOT NINOY. Enrile and Honasan, along with Gringo’s Reform the Armed Forces Movement (RAM), WERE THE ONES WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES in openly breaking away from the Marcos Government ONLY BY THEMSELVES AND WITHOUT ANY IMMEDIATE SUPPORT from anywhere in the military.

Fourth and last: many of Ninoy’s political allies then were JAILED LIKE HIM BUT NEVERTHELESS CARRIED ON with what they were doing in various ways from behind bars. Like the late Jose ‘Pepe’ Diokno, Francisco ‘Soc’ Rodrigo, Ramon ‘Monchng’ Mitra and Jovito Salonga. These guys did not die then but whether Kris or anybody else admits it or not, their own efforts and sacrifices HELPED  win their collective struggle then. And NOT JUST NINOY’S DEATH.  

I sincerely hope this will help clarify the TRUTH about Kris’ gimmick. I wrote this because NOBODY SHOULD BE FOOLED by her self-serving statement. 30
