Home of Hope
I was reading:
Ninoy Aquino Day is a public holiday in the Philippines observed annually on August 21. It marks the anniversary of the assassination of former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. .Returning to the Philippines after his three years of self-imposed exile, Aquino was shot in the head. He was killed on August 21, 1983 as he was escorted off an airplane by soldiers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Aquino was a staunch opponent of then-President Ferdinand Marcos. Aquino's death sparked anti-Marcos sentiment that led to the 1986 EDSA Revolution.
Aquino has always said that the Filpinos are worth dying for.
Once you choose hope, anything's possible.
