Aquino evoked the people of the phili to awaken their senses that freedom is possible.

I guess it means that he was willing to die in order for the Filipinos to stand up to the Marcos dictatorship.
He believed that Filipinos are worth dying for because he is the future of this nation.

Ninoys death one incident that had brought so many changes in our society. It was the turning point

because a few years later, Marcos was thrown out by a peaceful and popular revolt

How would the Philippines look today, if it wasn’t for Ninoy’s love for freedom and for the people that he went against Marcos.

Instead of putting our country at a battle, he chose to suffer long years of solitary confinement. Because he much value human life especially those Filipinos who would be sacrificed at the altar of revolution.

we should also ask ourselves whether Ninoy’ death have made us worthy as Filipinos. In sacrificing his own life for Filipinos, Ninoy made the ultimate noble act nobody among us could ever repay. Death for the love of the country is the highest form of personal sacrifice only heroes are destined for.

This is the land of our birth, the only place we Filipinos could truly call our home.

IF ONLY, we understood well and took these words of Ninoy into our hearts and minds, ”The Filipinos are worth dying for“, perhaps, our country would have been the greatest nation on earth.

I think the death of Ninoy we were all to blame. If only we fought earlier for our freedom. Does it takes a mans life to be sacrificed for us to be awaken to the truth and fight for

    On June 30th, 2010, the new President of The Philippines, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III was inaugurated following an election victory that was as decisive as it was, just a couple of months before, unexpected. Noynoy Aquino was as reluctant a candidate as he was popular, being a first-term Senator and the son of Liberal Party Senator Ninoy Aquino, who was famously assassinated, very likely at the instructions of then dictator Ferdinand Marcos, in1983 upon his return at the airport that is now named after him, which caused the people’s uprising that brought Ninoy’s widow (and Noynoy’s mother) Corazon “Cory” Aquino to the Presidency in 1986 and by the way was of great influence to other democratic revolutions across the world in the late 1980s including Latin America and eastern Europe.…

    In Larry Henares' program, some of the panelists -staunch admirers of Aguinaldo- expressed the oft-repeated view that the general failed to achieve greatness in the eyes of Filipinos simply because he lived too long. He didn't die young, in the flower of youth, like Jacinto, or in some twilight of the gods manner, like Bonifacio. He wasn't martyred, like Rizal, and he didn't die, penurious and neglected, like Mabini. He simply lived on, and on, until he became something like an antiquated relict fit for gawking at, but not for reverence. Poor, unheralded man.…
