Exactly 19 years ago, Ninoy

Exactly 19 years ago, Ninoy Aquino was killed at the tarmac of the then Manila Internation Airport. He was one of the strongest influences in the opposition party against the Marcos Administration. He relentlessly exposed and revealed all the graft and corruption happening behind the curtains of politics; thus, he became the archrival of Ferdinand Marcos during the Martial Law era. His life was abruptly ended as he deplaned from a China Airlines flight from Boston by a couple of bullets through his head. His death sparked a series of revolutions against the administration leading to the EDSA Revolution of 1986.

Probably one of the most significant event in the history of the Philippines in the last century, his death still influences Philippine politics.
