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
