Three decades later, we remember Ninoy

Today, August 21, should have been a day to remember the late Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. Unfortunately, any commemoration will have to give way for more important things as the residents of Metro Manila and its surrounding provinces try and survive as best as they can the floods that have swamped large parts of the country.

Wherever he is in the afterlife, we are sure that the father of the incumbent president would not mind that his life and death will not be recalled this day, despite the milestone 30th anniversary of his death.
