(its maiden issue featured a blow-up of Aquino's bloodied face), cartoons, and feature articles on phenomena like the epidemic of gallows humor and political jokes that came in the wake of the assassination." The tabloid played a leading role in opposing the Marcos regime. Its front cover sported a graphic that counted the number of days since the unsolved murder of Aquino. When the 25 soldiers present at Aquino's murder were put on trial, Apostol launched a weekly newspaper, the Philippine Inquirer, devoted to coverage of the trial. In 1986, the Inquirer eventually metamorphosed as Philippine Daily Inquirer, which was the leading daily in the Philippines for many years. After the People Power Revolution brought down the Marcos regime in February 1986, Apostol, declaring that the Special Edition had achieved what it set out to do, quietly replaced the Mr. & Ms. Special Edition with the Agribusiness Weekly.
