Benigno Servillano Aquino, Jr. (November 27, 1932 – August 21, 1983).
Popularly known as Ninoy Aquino or Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. 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 in his honor) 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. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benigno_Aquino,_Jr.)
