    Hard-working, immensely intelligent, passionate, prayerful and noble, he dedicated his life to public service and, in the latter years of his life, took a stand against the death of democracy in the Philippines. He went through so much pain and loneliness in his struggles, but he was resilient and continued to fight for our freedom. He often said that he was not afraid of dying, and it’s moving to see how much he was willing to give up for this fight. These days, we see our politicians swinging from one party to another, to wherever they think will give them a better chance at winning. It seems that parties — or politicians, for that matter — no longer stand for any one ideology. In Ninoy’s case, you see his beliefs in everything he does — his hunger strike, his seven years in prison, and his attempt to return to Manila. Actions speak louder than words after all. Through his…

    Sometimes I do wonder “What if Ninoy is still alive?” ”What will happen to the Philippines?”. I have the idea of having Ninoy Aquino as our president and everything will be in order, I also imagine that our country will be prosperous. Less crime and corruption can be attained because I believe that he will be a powerful official who can influence all Filipinos like what he did before, I think that the citizens will have high respect for him because he was able to make a change. But on the video that the class had seen Ninoy said that he is not interested anymore in becoming the president at that moment he just wants the Filipinos to see and feel the freedom and exercise their rights. I think if ever Ninoy will be alive at this point he will establish charities that will help all those who are poor and active in participating in organizations that will promote well-being. I also think that he will remain simple and guide his son to effectively rule the country. How I wish that he’s still alive so that he can see the state of our country, I think he will be disappointed in us because we have failed to become a responsible person in this nation, but maybe he…
