	Benigno Aquino, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His son, Benigno Aquino III, is a congressman representing the 1st district of Tarlac and his daughter, Kris Aquino, is a TV and movie actress.
		When President Marcos declared martial law on September 21, 1972 (he went on-air to broadcast his declaration on the midnight of September 23), Aquino was one of the first to be arrested and imprisoned on charges of murder, illegal possession of firearms and subversion.
		The assassination showed the increasing incapacity of the Marcos regime—Ferdinand was mortally ill when the assassination occurred while his cronies mismanaged the country in his absence—and outraged Aquino's supporters that he would allow the assassination of a key figure of the opposition to happen.
