The nation marks the 42nd anniversary of the assassination of Benigno Aquino Jr. today with the people outraged over the greed that has caused so much public misery due to substandard or non-existent projects and programs costing billions in people's money.
Fighting massive corruption during the Marcos dictatorship was one of the advocacies of Aquino and the other members of the opposition. It is lamentable that over four decades since Aquino was killed together with alleged hitman Rolando Galman, large-scale corruption persists and has even been described as endemic.
