Freedom is Ninoy Aquino's enduring legacy

On the 38th death anniversary of the late Senator Benigno S. Aquino, Jr., it is well to recall the circumstances of his death that led to national recognition of his heroism. When he was assassinated on August 21, 1983, there were only 51.4 million Filipinos; presently, our population is estimated at more than 111 million. Hence, around 60 million Filipinos could rely only on historical accounts as they seek to know more about him today.
