Five bullets hit him and one of these is still inside his neck.…

    Remember Los Viajes (The Travels) written by Dr. Jose P. Rizal? It is a perilous and exciting travels of Rizal across the globe before he returned to Philippines and captive by Spaniards, same as the film which we chosen to be similar to our topic, Social Influence. People were lavish with praise for Ninoy and the very well-made documentary (directed by Jun Reyes and produced by Unitel) about him. We shared our awe and admiration for this man, whose visage we knew quite well from the P500 bill, but whose life remained a bit of a mystery to our young memories. What did we really know about him? We weren’t even born when he was assassinated. The Last Journey of Ninoy is an important film that introduces him to a new generation. It follows him on his return to Manila (reenacted by Bam Aquino) and pieces together Ninoy’s life from his humble beginnings to his tragic death. Narrated from Ninoy’s point of view and interviews of his beloved wife Cory supplemented by photos and TV clips, we see that Ninoy was truly an exceptional and inspiring man.…

    Benigno Simeon “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. is the most prominent Filipino senator of all time, for he showed his courage and nationalism. He was the one who served as an eye-opener for the Filipinos; he revealed the fraudulent conduct by the Marcos Administration. Even if he was condemned by Ferdinand Marcos and knows that his life is in danger, he remained faithful and strong to protect the rights of all the citizens in the Philippines. Ninoy was known for his saying; “The Filipinos are worth dying for”, he died bearing this kind of belief, a man who is strong-willed and willing to sacrifice his own life for the sake of Filipinos. One question awakens “What if Ninoy is still alive at this present time?”…
