Isang bahagi ng kwento ng Pilipino na kailangan may natutuhan tayo para hindi na natin balikan. Ito nga ‘yong pagkakaroon ng isang sentral na figure sa ating pamahalaan na siyang humawak ng lahat ng kapangyarihan— executive, judiciary, at legislation,” said Filipino public historian Xiao Chua, who also graced the event. </p><p>Kiko Aquino Dee, one of Ninoy’s grandchildren and the Deputy Executive Director of Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation, also participated in the event. </p><p>“Kaming mga kamag-anak nila, wala naman kaming entitlement sa kung ano mang praise na nakukuha nila. Kaya ‘yong fact na may nag-e-effort pa rin na mga ganito, kahit na medyo magulo ang sitwasyon ngayon, para sa akin hangga’t kaya ko, dapat andun ako kasama nila,” he said.</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
