DEATH CONVICTS. When the military court sentenced Ninoy Aquino to death by firing squad, there were more than 10 others with him who were also sentenced to die by musketry. A retired mediaman wants to know: "What happpened to the other death convicts? There has been no news whether or not they had been shot by a firing squad."

WHAT HAPPENED REALLY? "There has been no report in any news media, even during the dictatorship, that those ordinary convicts had really been executed," the mediaman said. "Propaganda rato ni Marcos, sa no?"
