Their End of Tyranny Their reign began to end after Ferdinand was blamed of Benigno Aquino’s murder in August 21, 1923, by the EDSA revolutionists. During his first few steps off the airplane he was murdered. No one really knew who murdered Benigno Aquino, but all the blame was on Ferdinand Marcos.
