MANILA Philippines (Aug. 21, 2011) - Filipinos celebrate today the 28th death anniversary of former Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. who was assassinated at the then Manila International Airport (MIA) while returning from exile in the United States.
For many students of history, it was Ninoy's death that sparked the end of the well-entrenched Marcos dictatorship paving the way for the restoration of democracy in the Philippines.
