1. SAMPLE VIDEO ANALYSIS:This is just a sample, you can have your own version of video analysis
better than this so long not omitting important parts of the externaland internal criticism. I’ve noticed that
there are those who were not able to do their vid analysis correctly so I made this sample for them to
have an idea how to make one.

INTERNAL CRITICISM:
AUTHORITY
The author, the late Teodoro ‘Teddy’ Benigno, was one of the most prominent and principled journalists
in the Philippines. He wrote “Ninoy Aquino: The Heart and Soul” in 1988. After President Ferdinand
Marcos declared martial law in 1972, Benigno and other foreign journalists established the Foreign
Correspondents Association of the Philippines, which proved a welcome balancing force to the Marcos-
controlled media during martial rule. Benigno himself, unlike many other prominent anti-Marcos
journalists such as Max Soliven and Don Chino Roces avoided imprisonment during Marcos's rule,
shielded perhaps in part by his affiliation with a prominent international news organization as the AFP
was. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teodoro_Benigno)

2. José Mari U. Vélez (May 27,1942 – March 6, 1991) the narrator of the video, was a Filipino lawyer,
journalist, business executive, and activist best remembered for his long career as television newscaster
anchoring The Big News on ABC-5 and for his service as an oppositionist delegate to the Philippine
Constitutional Convention of 1971. He was one of the opposition delegates at the convention, which was
why he was one of the first to be arrested when Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial law in September
1972. Also in the military's order of battle who were soon assigned to Aquino's cell in Camp Crame, upon
their arrest in the wee hours, were Senators Jose Diokno, Ramon Mitra Jr.,and Francisco Rodrigo, and
journalists and publishers Teodoro Locsin Sr., Napoleon Rama, Joaquin Roces and Maximo Soliven.

ACCURACY: (10 claimed in the video ‘The Marcos Millions(1986) are required and each claimed
must be supported from credible sources)
1. Plaza Miranda Bombing August 21, 1971 was pointed to Benigno Aquino Jr. as the culprit.
On August 21, 1971, the Liberal Party's campaign rally was held to proclaim the
candidacies of eight Senatorial bids as well as the candidate for the Mayoralty race in Manila. As
a crowd of about 4,000 gathered to hear speeches,two grenades were reportedly tossed on stage.
Suspicion of responsibility for the blast initially fell upon incumbent President Ferdinand
Marcos,whom the Liberals blamed for the bombing; however, in later years,some prominent
personalities associated with the event have laid the blame on the Communist Party of the
Philippines under José María Sison.
Most historians continue to suspect Marcos to have perpetrated the bombing as a pretext
for his declaration of martial law. There were a series of deadly bombings in 1971, and the CIA
privately stated that Marcos was responsible for at least one of them. The agency was also almost
certain that none of the bombings were perpetrated by Communists. US intelligence documents
declassified in the 1990s contained further evidence implicating Marcos. A proven false flag
attack took place with the attempted assassination of Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile in 1972.

Bombing are either made by the Aquino allies or of Marcos allies...so I settled with wikipedia
