Today, we remember Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., whose bravery and sacrifice sparked the fight for democracy in the Philippines. His assassination in 1983 became the catalyst for the People Power Revolution, leading to the restoration of freedom and justice. Ninoy’s legacy teaches us that “The Filipino is worth dying for.”
This special holiday honors his courage and the Filipino spirit. Celebrate by attending commemorative events, visiting historical sites, or joining community service projects.
Let’s keep his spirit alive by standing for truth, justice, and democracy every day.
