Remembering

Twenty years ago Ninoy Aquino was assasinated on this very day and from then on it inspired everyone to revolt against the system that killed Ninoy. People Power(which really started here in 83 and triggered off similar waves in Eastern Europe during late 80's) was the one thing that us Filipinos gave him in turn for giving us his life and legacy and the will and conviction to fight system of evilness.

Reading A Hero Lives On written by his sister Lupita Aquino Kashiwahara, probably sums it all up how this day should be remembered and the contribution of great man changed the Philippines.
