“We should not depend on one man; we should depend on all of us. All of us are expendable in the cause for freedom and therefore I say stand up now and be a leader, and when all of us are leaders, we will expedite the cause of freedom.”
— Benigno “Ninoy” S. Aquino Jr.
As we celebrate Ninoy Aquino Day, let us reflect on these powerful words and honor the legacy of a leader who believed in the collective power of the Filipino people.
Ninoy’s call to action reminds us that every individual has a role to play in the pursuit of justice and freedom. As we remember his courage and dedication, let us commit to being leaders in our own right, upholding the values of democracy and integrity in everything that we do.
