    It is about the story of the final days of Aquino from 12 August 1983 to 21 August till he was

    assassinated at the Manila International Airport. It features interviews and commentaries from Aquino's
    wife and former Philippine president, Corazon Aquino.

    One of the greatest and the most remarkable person of the Philippine history is the lateand
    former senator Benigno S. Aquino Jr.,who stood up for what he firmly believed is rightand once lit up the fire of
    democracy in the hearts of many Filipinos.

    The Filipinos are worth dying for. Indeed! Goosebumps and touched hearts all over filled
    the Adamsonian community withsome guests, as the anticipated screening of the special tribute movie
    documentary of the last journey of Ninoy Aquino, which reminded us of how someone can be courageous and
    patriotic,willing to die for the sake of his country.The movie documentary reopened our eyes as well as our hearts of
    the heroism of Sen. Aquino. With an interview with Ninoys wife, the former President Corazon Aquino
    before shedied, she related and narrated with us how Ninoy suffered and fought for the sake of thiscountry. From the day
    that Pres. Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law, and on how he greatlyopposed this until he was imprisoned for
    almost eight years. His sufferings, loneliness, sicknessand so forth were portrayed in the movie. He spent the next
    three years at the United Stateswith his family to live a completely normal life. Amidst rumors and reports
    that there is anassassination plot waiting for him back in the Philippines, he took the risk of going back to hisbeloved
    country in the year 1983 intending to campaign in the promised election. On the climaxof the movie, World press
    followed him until Manila International Airport and August 21, 1983marked his death, shot in the head. Aquino’s death
    opened the eyes of millions of Filipinos living under the dictatorship of Marcos, to fight for democracy and to fight
    for what’s just. Marcos didn’t declare Martial Law torestore peace. The day it was declared marked the
    day democracy died. Protests andoppositions from different sectors courageously roused and came up
    with the historical EDSAPeople Power Revolution setting up a bloodless revolution to restore Philippines
    democracy.Peace and democracy was completely restored as Ninoy’s widow was brought to the politicalforefront as the
    first female President of the Republic of the Philippines.Followed their footsteps at present, is the newly elected President
    Benigno Noynoy AquinoIII, of the 2010 National Elections.

    en though a leader may be wise as a sage, he must humble himself and yieldto others. Then the intelligent will offer
    him counsel, and the brave will exert the fullestfor him.
