For a long suffering of the Philippines under Spain, it missed its liberty. Another generation comes, Philippines was suffered again from the presidency of former President Ferdinand Marcos by which dictating his own laws and creating his own rules and regulations and of course, his own government. It had been for 21 years that the Philippines have no liberty, no freedom in press, no voice in the court, no freedom of speech and even independence and feel the pain of tyranny by him.

History says: uprisings and revolutions have always occurred in many countries where human thought and human heart have been forced to remain silent.

The historical significance of Ninoy Aquino and Jose Rizal played a big part in our present time. The history happened in times of Rizal happened again in times of Ninoy. Rizal and Filipinos suffered so much from political ills of Spain. Ninoy and Filipinos suffered too from political ills of Marcos. Rizal became journalists and Ninoy too. Rizal was accused and considered guilty and condemn him while Ninoy prison 7 years, 7 months in London. He is also considered a guilty. Rizal caught in Singapore and brought home in the Philippines to shot him at Bagumbayan, 7:00 o’clock in the morning of the 30th of December 1896. He died in his own land that it is all he wants. Ninoy prisoned too in the other country. A modern Jose Rizal ( Ninoy) despite the threats he had received, he is still decided to return from exile to rally his countrymen in their choice of good leaders to replace the existing order. He wanted to go back in the Philippines, when the time he went back. He was shot before he step down from airplane on 23th of August 1983.

This would be the greatest injustice and the most abominable, infamy, unworthy for the two men offered their lives in the hazards of war. Rizal and Ninoy is innocent but how come that they were rewarded and sending them in prison in spite of their innocence and fought freedom for their loving country. They were shot in front of the masses.

The times of Rizal repeated in the times of Ninoy in different situations but similar aspects of conditions. It was repeated and in a new generations and upcoming generations, who knows?
It may repeat while there is a time. It is better to keep pace with a desire of a people than than to give before them. These and many other things may come to pass for about hundred years.

Their patriotism and their dignities relly influences us and made a big impact to our society. All this time we are not lacking generous and noble spirits among our foes. We are trying to struggle for the rights of humanity, justice and enthusiastic over the liberty of the country.

Their past is our history. Now, what will happen next? What will be in our future?

The political situation in the past and the situation at the present is not possible at the time can be now or even reverse. Filipinos are remain faithful, fighting for the liberty, for our independence, not loosing our hope, not compelling by the superiority of others by which we are ignorant. The masks have fallen apart from us. It has been that the love and piety in our past have come to resemble our future. The bitterness of the pass and the sweetness of the present have had its connections to make a good future.

Ninoy and Rizal help us to enlighten our mind that no one shouldn’t take our advocacy for the country, for the masses, for the rights, for the justice, for our own freedom in press and in speech and the love for ourselves.

Their historical significance did much good in highlighting many issues in our society in which the corruptions and immorality of the Spaniards and Marcos carried on its relentless. By them, we fall to analyze that peoples and governments have their distinct relations. Their government before have not far from the government today. Anomalies still exist today, a corruptions, a wise rulers and laws, ambitious politicians, terrible crisis in changing in the form of government and discontented in acquired position and power.

However, their differences seems a little. Rizal used his mighty pen as a weapon to fought among Spaniards. His Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo showed the evils of them. While Ninoy used his own dignity and principle for the loving country. Nevertheless, both of them love their fatherland because they hate all the kinds of corruptions, mistrust and injustice in our country. They did not let our country to lose hope, peace, freedom, independence, youth and the most important of all, the love which should remain in us. Their desire for freedom and peace took a long long time. They risked their lives in order to have justice, in order not to lead and manage our country by Spaniards and by Marcos too. The Filipino blood running from their veins gave them strength to have all of this.

I really don’t have a profound knowledge of Ninoy but I can be a hero like him and Rizal. I realize and made me think more deeply when I read from the book which have its core message of “the selfless giving of the best of ourselves for our countrymen and women and the advancement of the country as a whole.” I can be a Ninoy and Rizal in my own way because I always stand for the freedom and in my own dignity. I doing something worthwhile, something that would make a difference in uplifting the common people (sometimes). Even though I am not gifted as Ninoy, I can do as much good in my own simple way. I can sacrifice myself maybe, somehow.
