BENIGNO AQUINO Biography

Born: November 27, 1932
Tarlac Province, Luzon, Philippines
Died: August 21, 1983
Manila, Philippines
Filipino politician

Benigno Aquino of the Philippines was a leading opponent of the rule of President Ferdinand Marcos (1917–1989), who governed the Philippines from 1966 to 1986. Aquino's opposition ended in August 1983 when, after living in the United States for three years, he returned to the Philippine capital of Manila and was assassinated (killed) at the airport. Aquino's death touched off massive demonstrations against President Marcos.

Youthful accomplishments
Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino was born on November 27, 1932, in Tarlac Province, on the island of Luzon, to a prominent family. He was the grandson of a general and the son of a Philippine senator who was also a wealthy landowner. His ambition and energy stood out early when, at age seventeen, he was sent by the Manila Times newspaper to report on the Korean War (1950–53). The war was between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea), and was a war in which the United States and China eventually joined.

At age twenty-two Aquino became the Philippines' youngest mayor in his home-town of Concepcion. Just six years later he became governor of Tarlac province (a position similar to governing a state). In 1967 Aquino once again made history when he became the youngest senator ever elected in the Philippines. Meanwhile he married Corazon Cojoangco, with whom he eventually raised five children.

A fallen leader
Aquino became famous for his gifts as a public speaker and for his brilliant mind, as well as his great ambition. He became the leading candidate for the presidency in 1973, when President Marcos was scheduled to leave office after completing the maximum two terms as president. Aquino's ambition to be president was never realized, however, because President Marcos declared martial law (a state of emergency in which military authorities are given temporary rule). At the same time Marcos dissolved the constitution, claiming supreme power and jailing his political opponents, including Aquino. Aquino was charged with murder, subversion (intention to undermine legal authority), and illegal possession of firearms. Although he denied the charges, Aquino was found guilty and was convicted by a military tribunal, or military court, and spent over seven years in prison. In 1980 he was allowed to go to the United States for a heart bypass operation. He remained in the United States as a refugee until returning to the

Following the assassination President Marcos was pressured to appoint a five-person, politically neutral investigative board, led by Judge Corazon Agrava. Marcos and the military stated that a lone gunman who had been hired by the Communist Party had carried out the assassination. The alleged gunman, who had been shot at the airport immediately following the shooting of Aquino, could not be cross-examined. The military carried out its own investigation, and reported that no military personnel were involved in the death.

The official commission's majority report found that Aquino was not slain by the alleged gunman, as Marcos and the military claimed, but was the victim of a "criminal conspiracy" by the military led by General Fabian C. Ver, who was the armed forces chief of staff. He was also a close friend and cousin of President Marcos. The commission's findings were astonishing, although from the beginning most Filipinos doubted the official version of the assassination. No proof was ever presented that directly showed Marcos was involved, but almost no one in the Philippines believed that military generals would order the execution of Aquino on their own. Those who suspected Marcos's involvement noted that Aquino posed a threat as someone who might unite the opposition and who had been the president's main rival for decades.

Aquino's legacy
As it turned out the democratic opposition to Marcos was strongest after its leader's death. As Marcos lost the trust of his people, the Philippine economy also fell apart. By 1985 the nation was in political and economic chaos, with Marcos under attack by the press and by the strengthened political opposition, which did well in elections.

In December 1985 the court proclaimed that General Ver and the others charged with Aquino's murder were not guilty. Marcos promptly returned Ver to his former position. Popular unrest with Marcos's rule grew steadily, however. Within weeks a political movement formed around Aquino's widow, Corazon. She was elected president of the Philippines in 1986, unseating Marcos.

Biography of Ninoy Aquino

Many people are interested in Ninoy Aquino Jr, especially since the anniversary of his death was proclaimed a national holiday in the Phillippines in 2004. Ninoy Aquino accomplished many things in his life. He was one of the most vocal opposers to Ferdinand Marcos and his death ultimately led to his wife, Corazon Aquino, leading a 1986 "People Power" revolution.

Ninoy Aquino's Life

The real name of Ninoy Aquino Jr. was Benigno Simeon Aquino, Jr; but, he is widely known by his nickname Ninoy. Ninoy came from a family with a history of political involvement and his death helped to spur political change in the Philippines.
Family Life

Benigno Simeon Aquino, Jr. was born on November 27, 1932 in Concepcion, Tarlac in the Philippines, and died on August 21, 1983, in Manila.
He was born into a military and political family. His grandfather, Servillano had served as a general in the revolutionary army. His father, Benigno, or Ninoy Sr., had been a member of the World War II Japanese government of Jose Laurel, serving as vice president.
The Aquinos were wealthy landlords and were honest politicians. Often, they refused payment for their services.

Education and Early Career

Benigno received an education at private schools including Ateneo de Manila, De La Salle College, National University, St. Joseph’s College, and San Beda College.
When he was 17, he was a war correspondent to the Korean War for The Manila Times. For his journalism, he received the Philippine Legion of Honor award when he was 18 years old.
At 21, he was a prominent advisor to defense secretary Ramon Magsaysay.
He began to study law at the University of the Philippines. However, instead of receiving a degree, he returned to a career in journalism.

Entering into Politics

In 1954, Benigno was appointed by President Ramon Magsaysay as a personal emissary to Luis Taruc. Taruc was the leader of the Hukbalahap group of rebels.
A few months later, Benigno secured Taruc’s unconditional surrender.
His political career began when he was elected the mayor of Concepcion in 1955 when he was 22 years old. He was the youngest person to ever be a city mayor.

Political Career

Not only was Benigno the youngest mayor, but also became the youngest vice governor of the nation at the age of 27.
In 1961, he went on to be the governor of Tarlac province. He was 29 years old.
In 1966, he became the secretary-general of the Liberal party.
He set a record again in 1967 by being the youngest ever elected senator at the age of 34.
As the only member of the Liberal Party in the senate, Benigno was seen to be the biggest political threat to Ferdinand Marcos. During his first year he warned Marcos that he was well on the way to establishing a garrison state by his actions, including militarizing the civilian government.
It was only four years before he was proven right and martial law was established.
Aquino was public in his disapproval of the government and Imelda Marcos, whom he said was extravagant. This angered Ferdinand and he called Aquino a liar. While he was senator, Aquino was named an outstanding senator by the Philippine Free Press magazine.
Martial law was declared on September 21, 1972 and Aquino was one of the first to be arrested on made-up charges of murder, subversion, and firearm violations.
He went on a 40 day hunger strike to protest the injustices of his trial, and although he was sentenced to death, his sentence was later commuted, probably because the government did not want to make him a martyr.

Final Years

After seven years in prison, Aquino had a heart attack. Imelda Marcos visited him in the hospital and told him that the United States offered to send him to the U.S. for surgery if he promised to return and not to speak ill of the government while in the U.S.
In May of 1980, he made the trip to the U.S. and was operated on in Dallas, Texas. He lived near Boston, Massachusetts for three years, writing and making public speaking appearances where he criticized the Marcos government.
In 1983, Benigno Aquino decided to return to the Philippines. On August 21, 1983, he was shot in the head as he left the airplane under guard. An investigation did not find the guilty party or parties. However, after the Marcos government was overthrown another investigation was launched and 16 people were found guilty and sent to prison.

Ninoy's Legacy

After Ninoy was killed, his wife Corazon's opposition to Ferdinand Marcos resulted in her leading the opposition against Marcos.
In 1985, Corazon ran for president against Marcos, but it was announced in 1986 that she had lost the election.
Aquino believed that she had been the rightful winner of this election and she called for Civil Disobedience to protest the injustice.
The "People Power Revolution" began as a result of her call-to-action. It resulted in Marcos being ousted and Corazon being named the first female president on February 25, 1986.

Ninoy, therefore, made an important contribution not just in life but also in his death.
