A. What are your first impressions about the undelivered speech?

First, Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. used deep and poetic words. He analyze or
described what happen to him in the previous times. Ninoy Aquino is a fighter even
though he knew that when he wi will going to return in the Philippines, he will going
to die, he will going to die, he is ready whatever will happen atleast he died with
with justice and fulfilled his duties as a Filipino struggling for justice and freedom. A.I
think that it is obvious that he is winning the sympathy of his fellowmen to be on his
side tooust former President Fedinand Marcos, for his plans of running for a higher
position (Presidency) even when he was plotted to be assassinated upon his arrival.
It is dignified and eye-opener.

IV. Drawing Conclusion
Integrate your background knowledge of the context of the speech with the content of the
speech. What conclusions can you draw about historical period when the speech was
written?
This speech connects to the seven acts of defiance of Senator Benigno Aquino Jr.
against the dictatorship of President Ferdinand Marcos. During their time, I conclude
that there must be violence and economic, political, and social conflict that
happened amongst the Filipino people and the country Philippines, which convicts
the Senator to go against President Ferdinand Marcos. These facts are evident in the
released news back in 2014 and from the speech written by the Senator Benigno
Aquino Jr. himself.
