"It is an outright distortion of history for certain groups, especially those identified with the ruling Aquino regime (by Ninoy's only son Benigno III), to lay sole claim to the anti-Marcos movement and deny the crucial role played by the CPP and the revolutionary forces in the struggle to end the Marcos dictatorship," said the CPP. "The atrocious claims repeatedly made by the military and certain reactionaries that the NPA, and not Marcos, was behind the August 21, 1971 bombing of the Liberal Party miting de avance in Plaza Miranda form part of such distortion."
"Isang tahasang pagbaluktot sa kasaysayan ang ginagawa ng ilang grupo laluna yaong mga kahanay ng naghaharing rehimeng Aquino (ng kaisa-isang anak ni Ninoy na si Benigno III), na sinasarili ang kilusang anti-Marcos at binabalewala ang naging krusyal na papel ng PKP at mga rebolusyonaryong pwersa sa pakikibaka upang wakasan ang dikatadurang Marcos," anang PKP. "Bahagi ng pambabaluktot na ito ang paulit-ulit na malisyosong pagbibintang ng militar at mga reaksyunaryo na ang BHB, at hindi si Marcos, ang nasa likod ng pambobomba sa miting de abanse ng Liberal Party sa Plaza Miranda noong Agosto 21, 1971."
