Lat Feb 4, we spent time knowing Ninoy better. We visited the museum of the Aquino Center in Lusita Tarlac. I read his letters to friends and to Marcos, his journals and diary when he was imprisoned and learned more about his tough struggle to bring back democracy in the Philippines.
I was 5 when he was assasined. I learned more of Ninoy through lolo and my history teachers that's why I was really overwhelmed with what i learned that day.
(at the lobby, pictures courtesy of charo)After our visit, i was wondering who among the politicians right now meet up even 50% of Ninoy's abilities to lead the country and his dedication to the Filipino people...and i believe there is none...not even Nonoy match his father's qualification. I guess it will be a long wait before we will have another Ninoy, someone who will genuinely feel that Filipinos are worth dying for.

ninoy, just like raul roco is a good president we never had. a breed like them is the vanishing one and it will take a long time before somebody like them will come out and find the odds.
ps. i also went in that museum two or three years ago when i attended a wedding. :)
sana magkaroon pa nga ng isang ninoy sa lifetime natin noh?!
First time for me to hear of this museum. It would be interesting to check this out if ever we pass by Tarlac.
i never thought that there's a museum about Ninoy too until we stayed in the nearby hotel. Indeed it is interesting.
