Aquino’s death sparked widespread demonstrations charging government complicity in the act. An independent commission concluded in October 1984 that a military conspiracy led by the Philippine armed forces chief of staff, Gen. Fabian C. Ver, was responsible for the assassination. Ver and 25 other suspected participants in the plot were acquitted of these charges by three Marcos-appointed judges in 1985. However, that decision helped to set in motion the chain of events that culminated in Marcos’s downfall and Corazon Aquino’s rise to power in 1986. In May 2010 the couple’s son, Benigno S. (“Noynoy”) Aquino III, was elected president of the country.
