By late afternoon, some 10,000 to 12,000 demonstrators in the larger “national democratic” (ND) bloc, associated with the Stalinists, massed in the Makati business district, but were blocked by police from linking up with the “civil society” groups led by ex-president Corazon Aquino. That third march (of the bourgeois opposition) was allowed to proceed to lay a wreath the shrine for the former president’s husband, Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, murdered by Marcos’ agents in 1983.
Kinahapunan, may 10,000 hanggang 12,000 demonstrador ng mas malaking “pambansa-demokratikong” (ND) bloke ang nagtipon sa Makati, ang hinarang ng mga pulis at pinigilang maka-kabit sa mga tinatawag na “civil society” na mga grupo na pinangungunahan ni dating presidente Corazon Aquino. Ang ikatlong martsang ito (ng burgis na oposisyon) ay pinayagan na makapaglagay ng korona ng mga bulaklak sa monumento ng asawa ng dating presidente na si Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, na pinatay ng mga ahente ni Marcos noong 1983.
