A statue of Benigno Simeon “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., who was assassinated at the Manila airport now named after him 35 years ago today, was unveiled on yesterday at the Heroes Park in San Fernando, Pampanga. The unveiling ceremony was led by Senator Paolo Benigno A. Aquino IV, his nephew. The late Aquino’s murder prompted a series of events that eventually led to the end of the Marcos martial law era.
