   "The forensic evidence submitted to the trial court," columnist Antonio Abaya wrote, "established that the trajectory of the fatal bullet was "forward, downward and medially", the bullet entering Aquino's skull near his left ear and exiting at his chin.This was consistent with the gun being fired at Aquino by someone behind him who was at a higher plane than he was, such as someone who was one or two steps behind him on a downward flight of stairs."

   Media mislabels the communists either from naiveté, ignorance or misplaced values, writes Manila Standard's Tony Abaya.The press almost always refers to them as ‘leftists' or ‘activists' or ‘militants.
   
   But the correct label is: ‘communists', Abaya insists."Is being a communist a crime or a social disease?"..By opting for
   
   innocuous terms, media insulates them from the opprobrium of failure.And bankruptcy is "the historical legacy of Communism, in Europe, in Asia and in Latin America".
   
   Grow up, Abaya urges both the press and local comrades."What makes you think Filipino communists will succeed in building the ideal society where Russian communists failed, even after 74 years of total political control?," he recalls asking Sison and comrades.
