and physics), publishing, and the
management of large institutions are

Benigno best.

shine.

Activity A:
Benigno Aquino Jr.
Advocacy/ Ideology • Ninoy’s political ideology is for a strong democracy.
• He envisioned a government responsive to the needs
of the people.
• He wanted every sector of society to be heard.
One of his advocacies was to allow the communist
•
party to be legalized so that they can present their
platform of government to the people instead of
having violent armed struggle which is
counterproductive to the country’s progress.
• He also wanted to industrialize the country by allowing
foreign industries with technologies that will
eventually assimilate the technologies to the Filipinos
so that we will become highly industrialized.
• He was also advocating a “ Quid pro quo “ or equal
treatment policy from the Americans because Marcos
has exploited the American’s policy to maintain their
military bases here thereby tolerating Marcos’ abuses
to the Filipinos.
Jose Rizal
• His advocacy for reforms in the
Philippines under the hands of Spanish
colonial authorities led to his early
death at the age of 36.
• Rizal had been very vocal against the
Spanish government, but in a peaceful
and progressive manner. For him, “the
pen was mightier than the sword.” And
through his writings, he exposed the
corruption and wrongdoings of
government officials as well as the
Spanish friars.
• Most of his writings, both in his essays
and editorials, centered on individual
rights and freedom, specifically for
the Filipino people. As part of his
reforms, he even called for the inclusion
of the Philippines to become a province
of Spain.
Activity A:
Influence on the Filipino
Benigno Aquino Jr.
• The Catholic Church framed his
assassination and the suffering of
Corazon Aquino through the lens of
the pasyon, the Passion of Christ
narrative in which Benigno
represented the fallen Christ,
Corazon was Mary, with the
Philippines awaiting salvation and
resurrection. This metaphor
powerfully motivated Filipino
Catholics and contributed to the
ultimate success of People Power in
unseating Marcos.
• Aquino’s death sparked widespread
demonstrations charging
government complicity in the act
Jose Rizal
• In both novels, Rizal harshly criticized
the Spanish colonial rule in the country
and exposed the ills of Philippine society
at the time. And because he wrote
about the injustices and brutalities of
the Spaniards in the country, the
authorities banned Filipinos from
reading the controversial books. Yet
they were not able to ban it completely.
As more Filipinos read the books, their
eyes opened to the truth that they were
suffering unspeakable abuses at the
hands of the friars. These two novels by
Rizal, now considered his literary
masterpieces, are said to have indirectly
sparked the Philippine Revolution.

Legacy to the Philippine • Aquino was buried in the Manila Memorial Park.
society The leader of the Liberal Party famously
eulogized Aquino as "the greatest president we
never had." Many commentators compared him
to the executed anti-Spanish revolutionary leader
Jose Rizal.
• Ninoy Aquino's legacy did not end with his wife's
six-year presidency, which saw democratic
principles reintroduced into the nation. In June
2010, his son Benigno Simeon Aquino III, known
as "Noy-noy," became president of the
Philippines.
• Inspired by the outpouring of support she
received after Aquino's death, the formerly shy
Corazon Aquino became a leader of the anti-
Marcos movement. In 1985, Ferdinand Marcos
called for a snap presidential election in a ploy to
reinforce his power. Aquino ran against him, and
Marcos was proclaimed the winner in a clearly
falsified result.
Jose Rizal
• José Rizal is remembered today
throughout the Philippines for his
brilliance, courage, peaceful resistance
to tyranny, and compassion. Filipino
schoolchildren study his final literary
work, a poem called "Mi Ultimo
Adios" ("My Last Goodbye"), and his
two famous novels.
• Spurred by Rizal's martyrdom,
the Philippine Revolution continued
until 1898. With assistance from the
United States, the Philippine
archipelago defeated the Spanish army.
The Philippines declared independence
from Spain on June 12, 1898, becoming
the first democratic republic in Asia.
