I am Ninoy!

I am a Hero.
I do what I believe is Right.
I do what I believe is Good.
I fight for Justice.
I fight for Freedom.
I AM NINOY

We just finished watching Beyond Conspiracy: Ninoy Aquino 25th Death Anniversary in TFC and it just struck me like hell. I seriously never knew the importance of the color yellow back then and their hand gesutre pretaining to the word Laban. All I knew back then was that Ninoy was shot by a gunman and he became our Hero. But after watching numerous documentary on YouTube and their latest was the Beyond Conspiracy, I`ve grown to realize the importance of the word Laban and the powerful color Yellow.

I wrote this blog entry not because I`m just being random yet again but because I admire Him so much and who would`ve thought that somebody could ever sacrifice him/herself for the sake of his/her countrymen? If you were to ask me if I would love to be shot down right this very moment only to prove the love for my country, that would be a big fart no maaaan, kiss my ass! But for Ninoy, it was a piece of cake. He even told his wife that he would rather be assassinated than being under house arrest.

Ninoy one of the only few people I know who definitely has the most genuine heart ever. He was brave, he was courageous, he never back down from anything. Even that bullet that killed him 25 years ago still didn't stop his heroic. Now I could pretty much say that Ninoy is indeed my hero. Can you imagine what he could have done for our country if he were allowed? He would have brought the Filipinos the dignity and pride we so desperately need now. Without him, who knows maybe up to this moment we might be still under the Marcos' regime.

Let us not forget about Ninoy, let`s not forget that because of his death he buried with him Marcos`dictatorship and lead in restoring democracy. He is our modern-day Rizal who used his talent in writing in oder to be heard. He is the Philippines` Gahndi who used non-violence in fighting for freedom.

I am Paula, and I am Ninoy.
There is a Ninoy in all of us.
*I was just moved by the documentary I`ve seen earlier, that`s why I was able to blurt this serious shits out. Thanks for taking your time reading this. :)) It only meant that you did not forget about Him. Let the Ninoy in us lingers foreverrrrrr!
