Ninoy’s heroism remembered in Mindanao

Elected Mindanao officials commemorated former senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr.’s 30th death anniversary on Wednesday, urging fellow Filipinos to replicate the former Tarlac solon’s heroism in restoring democracy and pushing the country to greater heights.

Representing Mindanao's Muslim and Christian communities, four incumbent governors expressed beliefs that the nation’s woes in government corruption, climate change and security concerns could be well addressed with similar heroic sacrifices that the former senator tried to set for his countrymen.
