We really need a leader who can inspire and direct us, but we must also remember that each of us has a role to play. If we use our talents together, we will be able to further Ninoy's ideals more easily, and perhaps new leaders will emerge who will truly serve the people.

Maraming salamat po! Mabuhay greetings from the TRUE NORTH!!! BASCO, BATANES!!! see you po sa aming historical tours sa Manila!

I agree that we need the young version of Ninoy Aquino today. Our generation can carry on his spirit not by big sacrifices like his, but by speaking up, valuing our freedom, and using education to make a positive change for the country.

My parting words to the youth would be, continue speaking truth to power because without it, our political condition will become much worse, and Philippine democracy will no longer exist.

Very grateful for your kind words and passion Viela.

Pat, adjourned na ba tayo?

THANK YOU ALL for joining our community chat on Ninoy Aquino Day!

The stories of Rizal, of Ninoy, of so many who chose country over self. Aside from that, is our solidarity, we stand together as one people, no force can silence us.

Palaban ang Pinoy!

This is exactly why the government, and governments around the world, severely cut funding to social sciences and humanities too. If history can be erased or changed and ethics be eliminated from schooling, it can manipulate the public. See: the "rehabilitation" of the Marcos family, the lingering support for Duterte, and an acceptance of the status quo instead of fighting for real change.
