1. Main Idea of The Video

As I see it, The video's primary purpose is to prove in the country the stain of Aquino-
Cojuangco administration during their time in government. This video revealed various
things that are not even exposed in the media, and also what the media hides or
covers from all of us. Although our former presidents, which including Marcos, Erap as
well as Ramos, whose crimes have already been publicized and exposed in the media,
sometimes there have not. It's unexpected that just Aquino-Cojuangco is still the only
president throughout their term who didn't have any negative issues. The video reveals all
the secrets, lies and hidden truths of the Aquino-Cojuangco family.

2. The Video’s Point of View

In my insights, From the point of view of the video, everything reveals the realities
that behind all the questionable lies that we are still brainwashed to believe. Aquino-
Cojuangco abused their power and authority to pay and manipulate the media and cover
their criminal actions. They start taking advantage of their position of power and
authority to abuse those who are unaware. They allegedly murdered a large number of
individuals in order to cover up their real character. And according to the video,
Cojuangco-Aquino is not pursuing appropriate political establishment. After I watched
this video, A video can completely change and enlighten my viewpoint to them.

3. The Video’s Argument

They remained not only powerful, but still one of the wealthiest families in the
Philippines. And according to this documentary video, Ninoy died not really for the
country, but also for his presidential ambitions to become president and defeat his enemy,
Ferdinand Marcos. This was also revealed since one of the main reason Ninoy aimed to
defeat Marcos was her affection for Ferdinand's wife, Imelda. Ninoy  intended to show
Ferdinand that he's more "strong" and "superior." Travelling back in time, the fact
Noynoy is the president of the Philippines back then is because we had been fooled by
the realities that their family were a clan of hypocrites and criminals. They abused those
who worked for them and others who were under them cruelly, and they continue to
encourage Oligarchy, some kind of administration which was also proposed for the
 wealthy and powerful. As kind of an outcome, the wealthy became wealthier while the
poor got poorer.

4. Inconsistencies and/or falsehoods in the video
