A Brief Biography of Benigno S. Aquino, Jr.


(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)


Ninoy Aquino's martyrdom galvanized the Filipinos to unite and rise in opposition against former President Ferdinand Marcos, which restored democracy in the Philippines.

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.
