Last Friday, August 21, 2009 we remember the 26th death anniversary of one of our beloved modern day national heroes, Ninoy Aquino. The commemoration of the death anniversary of Ninoy Aquino continues the “Yellow Fever” that has been spreading in the country because of the recent death of Cory Aquino, our beloved president, the mother of our democracy and most of all Ninoy Aquino’s wife. In honor of Ninoy Aqino, I have written several post in his honor, the first being “My top ten favorite Ninoy Aquino Quotes” and then followed by the post “Ninoy Aquino is alive” which gives a little bit of history into his life and the significance of his heroic acts and deeds. In that post I mentioned that Ninoy Aquino is alive, and he lives within each and every Filipino who continues to do the same thing that Ninoy Aquino does and that is sacrificing for our country. We do not need to die for the country, all we need to do is contribute to nation building in our own little way by simply … [Read more...]

Yestrerday was a non-working holiday in observance of the death anniversary of Ninoy Aquino who was shot to death at the former Manila International Airport about 26 years. (August 21, 1983) In the words of former Senate President Jovito Salonga, Ninoy Aquino whose real name was “Benigno Servillano "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.” was the greatest president that we never had.

My top ten favorite Ninoy Aquino Quotes
I’ve searched online for Ninoy Aquino quotes, but I have not found some online sources. In this connection to honor the great man, and in honor of his 26th death anniversary this day, I am coming up with my top ten favorite Ninoy Aquino quotes much as I have come up with my top ten favorite Cory Aquino quotes. I have to extract the quotes in his speeches.

Ninoy Aquino was a brilliant speaker, eloquent and full of charisma. He was full of passion for the fight for freedom.

Ninoy Aquino is a gifted speaker and as a journalist is a gifted writer as well. In fact he wrote a poem which is has been transformed into a song by … [Read more...]

Hillary Clinton angry ! Lost in translation perhaps ?
U.S Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton is angry! That would be putting it mildly, probably the term would be mad or perhaps the best way to describe it is outraged? Who is Hilary Clinton angry at? Well she’s angry at people asking her what does her husband, former President Bill Clinton think about this, or about that. Perhaps she is insecure of the long shadow that her husband has cast upon her political career. (Maybe she is just tired from all the long trips that she took, we should give her the benefit of the doubt) See the youtube video below to see Hilary Clinton angry: Do you think this will happen to the Philippines', First Gentleman Mike Arroyo when in the near future he will perhaps become a cabinet Secretary ? What do you think ? (We should install more video surveillance equipment in Malacanang to find out hehehehe) … [Read more...]
