Benigno Servillano Aquino, Jr. (November 27, 1932 – August 21,
1983)
Popularly
known
as Ninoy Aquino.
He
was a former Philippine Senator, Governor, Vice Governor and Mayor
and a leader of the opposition to the rule of Ferdinand Marcos.
He
was assassinated at the Manila International Airport (now named the
Ninoy Aquino International Airport) upon returning home from exile
in the United States.
His
death catapulted his widow, Corazon Aquino, to the limelight and
subsequently to the presidency, replacing the 20-year-old Marcos
regime.
