Not long ago the Filipino people mourned for the lost of a great leader – Corazon C. Aquino.  She was the one who led the People Power back in 1986 to fight the dictatorship of then President Ferdinand Marcos.

Today we celebrate the death of her husband, Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino.  26 years ago he was shot and his death triggered the long been suppressed anger of the Filipinos.

I hope that we will not forget the sacrifices made by others for the benefit of our country.

Long live the Filipinos.  Long live our country. Thank you  Ninoy for making us realize that the Filipinos are truly worth dying for.

P.S.

This happens to be my birthday as well.
