It’s a truly heartbreaking, indelible image. My gratitude to you for taking it, and to the Free Press for selecting and reprinting it for the cover of this issue.

Just to clarify: is it correct that it was taken on Times Street (incidentally, where I live) upon return after the transfer of Ninoy’s body, or was it taken by the Sto.Domingo church?

Domingo church. There were only a handful of reporters probably due to fear of reprisal by the authorities at that time. Only Radio Veritas was bold enough to cover the arrival at the airport thanks to Mr. Harry Gasser who at that time was GM of Radio Veritas. He assigned Jun Tania to cover the arrival at the airport with Ben Piapon stationed at the OB van in Baclaran church.
