Let's say one of two PODs occurs: he does not give a yellow or green light to assassinate Ninoy Aquino in 1986. Then he allows the presidential election to be held in 1987 as per the schedule rather than a snap 1986 election of OTL. Is there a chance of Ferdinand Marcos winning a relatively clean (internationally recognized) election by that point? Even NAMFREL showed Cory beating him by less than 2% IOTL. Not to mention his enormous masa popularity and 62% of the vote in 1969.
