Were Marcos and Ninoy Friends?

Registration is open for the 2013 elections and I thought posting this political video would be apt.


The vid shows an alternate way of seeing what went down during People Power. I had an earlier post talking about my thoughts after reading, American Boy, by James Hamilton-Paterson. In that book, he claimed that Marcos and Ninoy were confidantes. In fact it was Ferdinand Marcos who would supply information to Ninoy Aquino if ever he needed to take criticize Imelda Marcos, then the governor of Metro Manila. Marcos would then try to console his wife, Imelda, by saying that he'd get Ninoy the next time.

Strange.
But is there truth to it?

    i've heard this theory before... they said they did talk to each other because it's rare to find someone to find someone who is as smart as they are and they really connected in another level. they're both intelligent so they connected.

    they were not just friends...they were frat brothers and in UP being frat brods is a relationship not to be taken lightly...sometimes the relationship is so strong, it transcends politics, ideology and ambition.
