Remembering Ninoy and the Sacrifice for the Country the

I shall dedicated the last drop of my blood to the restoration of freedom and the dismantlement of your Martial Law- Benigno Aquino Jr.

I remember the day when Ninoy was assassinated. 26 years ago a hero was gunned down at the tarmac and 2 million walked a mile to bury the man who would have save the country from the cruel hands of the dictator.

One day before my Birthday, there was a Snap Election. Ninoy's wife, Cory Aquino- former President of our country who recently passed away, ran against Marcos. She won the election but Marcos declared himself a winner. By then people were dismayed. Revolution called People Power ousted the dictator.

Ninoy and Cory. We owe so much to them. Ninoy for sacrificing his life and Cory for making sure that the sacrifice was not wasted.
