I think I remember this from when it happened. Aquino was killed as he disembarked from a plane. He was shot at close range. The film was shown widely on US TV.

As I remember there was never any question that Marcos and not communists was behind it. That belief on the part of the Philippines people was instrumental in overthrowing the Marcos regime.

I suppose the CIA could have set it up for Marcos but I doubt it. His people were perfectly capable of such a crude assassination.
