(In honor of the sacrifices and martyrdom of Ninoy - who was mortally felled by an assassin's bullet 26 years ago today - I am linking an article on Ninoy's brief biography)
Born on November 27, 1932, Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. - popularly known as Ninoy - was destined to become a political leader in the Philippines. He traced his lineage from people who have worked with some of the country's well-known leaders. Gen. Servillano Aquino, his grandfather, became a general of the Philippines' first president, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. Benigno Aquino, Sr., his father, served under President Manuel L. Quezon and became a Speaker of the House under the presidency of Jose P. Laurel.

ReplyDeleteAng galing! Talagang mayroon silang blood of heroes
Indeed Jm. If you go to Tarlac, there is a huge army base near Hacienda Lusitia named after Ninoy's granddad: Camp Servillano Aquino - home of the Army Northern Luzon Command.

ReplyDeleteHeroes are born and reborn. There are two kinds
ReplyDeleteone of them are True heroes and the other are the Untrue heroes.
True Heroes are immortal to the minds of every good human being implanted like a sample of analyzed object or any material that cant be forgotten as time goes by.
Untrue Heroes are mortal to the minds of every
good human being implanted like a sample of analyzed object or any material that can be
easily forgotten.
