Most of us might not even be alive when Ninoy's death occurred. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino was a former senator and husband of one of the presidents of the Philippines, Corazon Aquino. Also father to the host and actress Kris Aquino. Ninoy Aquino is one of the new heroes of our modern day who is very nationalistic. He was famous for his lines that "The Filipino is worth dying for". I wish all of us learn something from him and love our nation. Be heroes in our own way.

I wonder, if Ninoy didn't die and became president of the Philippines, would our Nation still be in this state? Would Ramos, Estrada and Arroyo eventually became presidents too? Would this nation still be above other south-east asian countries? Well, I would like to use a time machine to find out. Anyways if Ninoy was meant to die, he'll die. I'm not sure, but that line "The Filipino is worth dying for" is kind of like prophetic to him, in the sense that he really did die. But man I salute him, he's one man who fought so hard, and even though dying he's legacy still lives. He's the first great nerd that I know of(yeah yeah he wears glasses so...heehe).
