p.s. got a good read from Ninoy of www.fobbdeep.com check it out:
Ninoy Brown. It's a name that partially came from Wesley Snipe's character in New Jack City. A nickname given to me by friends who put a twist on the nickname given to me by familia.
I was born in Manila, during a period of unrest where Filipinos were taking to the streets in opposition to the dictatorial rule of Ferdinand Marcos, who declared martial law on September 11, 1972. Under his rule, subversion was dealt with through imprisonment, disappearances, and death. A counter intelligence program that actually still occurs today. But while Marcos was in power, a man by the name of Benigno Aquino, nicknamed Ninoy, stood in opposition. Ninoy was imprisoned shortly after the declaration of martial law on false charges of murder and subversion. Eventually, Ninoy was allowed to go to the U.S., after hunger strike, gaining the hearts and minds of the Filipinos, and losing an election due to fraud on the part of Marcos' party.
As an outspoken critic of the Marcos regime, Ninoy consistently fought against martial law and the suppression of dissident voices in the Philippines. He vowed to return to the Philippines, while in the U.S. On August 21, 1983, exactly twenty-five years ago, he set on a flight back to the Philippines only to be gunned down by an assassin's bullet upon exiting the plane. In the days after, constant rallies took place in protest of the killing and in support of the message for which Ninoy stood.
I was born a couple days after the assassination. Several family members were in the streets along side the sea of yellow shirts and hands raised, fingers forming the shape of an "L" for "laban" or fight. Relatives wanted this kid to be named Benigno, but instead my parents possessively invested in a colonized name. Yet, even without it on my birth certificate, the name "Ninoy" stuck and family and family friends would end up calling me this for the rest of my life. Due to the nickname, growing up I had always found a connection to the People's Power movement that took place during the few years I was raised in the Philippines.
So with today's date, we mark the twenty-fifth year since the assassination. If Aquino had survived, many argue that much might not be all the different today. But what he stands for is a powerful symbol of opposition to a very brutal dictator. Until his death, he knew that the status quo in the Philippines had to be changed. He fought for a democratically free Philippines, free of the oppressor. Even with premonitions and warnings of possible assassination attempts, he returned because he felt strongly for what needed to be done for his country.
"If its my fate to die by an assassins bullet, so be it. But I cannot be petrified by inaction, or fear of assassination, and therefore stay in the corner. " -Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino
