    NINOY AQUINO is a genuine Opposition leader who bravely fought against the Marcos dictatorship. He is a true hero and martyr. If not for Ninoy, perhaps we will not be experiencing our freedoms that we enjoy today. It has been almost 24 years since his assassination on August 21, 1983, and up to now, still no justice for Ninoy. If Ninoy’s assassination case could not even be resolved, how much more of the other unknown cases of violence that have been committed against the ordinary average Filipino.
