Who killed ninoy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It was members of the military escort that killed Ninoy.

Originally the murder was blamed on some criminal (Rolando Galman) whose bullet riddled corpse was left on the tarmac for all to see.

The only problem was that even though he was shot many times there was little or no blood. This indicates that the body was already dead when it was riddled.

The assassination was ordered by Danding Cojuangco, a relative of Ninoy as confessed by the assassin Pablo Martinez.

Evidently Ferdinand was livid when he heard of the incident.

edit

Rolando Galman, as stated by another answer, was already dead before Ninoy was murdered.

FYI

The military escorts were all jailed but have since been pardoned and released.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There's this beach called Boracay and it's really popular because it's the only beach in the Philippines that has white sand. The resorts are amazing, some are even 5 star resort.

You must go and check because it's got amazing views, you can even go diving or snorkeling and even swim or sunbathe etc.

There are loads of activities their.

Go check it out and book your holiday on the cheapest resort in the Philippines so go there and have fun.

CORRECTION:

How can you say Boracay is the ONLY beach in Phil that has white sand?

The country is made of thousands of islands. Boracay is just the most commercial for tourist money. Realistically there are thousands of much nicer places with much more spectacular beaches. One thing is for certain and that is you can always rely on the internet to get the most amount of inaccurate assumptions and misinformation made by people who have no idea what they are talking about. Thanks anyway.
