MABUHAY!
BENIGNO "NINOY" AQUINO - a FREEDOM FIGHTER, an epitome of true FILIPINO PATRIOTISM, an INSPIRATION of hope, a FILIPINO HERO. Many considered him as THE GREATEST PRESIDENT the PHILIPPINES did not have- an assassin's bullet claim his life on August 21, 1983, just before setting his foot on his beloved country.Until now, no one knew who master minded his murder. His death inspired freedom loving Filipinos to topple down the dictatorial leadership of then PRESIDENT FERDINAND MARCOS. He is the father of the 15th president of the Philippines - BENIGNO S. AQUINO III and husband of CORY AQUINO.
CORAZON " CORY" AQUINO - the house wife who became the 11th President of the Philippines. During her presidency, she carried the weight of restoring true freedom and democracy after the downfall of President Marcos during the world renowned 1986 PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION. Her leadership was highlighted by the promulgation of the 1987 constitution and was challenge in 1989 by a failed well organized and well financed military coup attempting to bring down her government. On August 1, 2009, she died of colon cancer.
GETTING THERE
From the GOOGLE MAP's calculation, it was around 125 kilometers from our departure point at the The Regalia Park Towers Condominium at Cubao, Quezon City to the Aquino Center and Museum at Tarlac City located within Region 3. You'll be passing by the provinces of CENTRAL PLAIN of LUZON, toll gates at North Luzon Express Way (NLEX) and Subic -Clark-Tarlac Express Way (SCTEX).
OUR ARRIVAL
Upon arrival, you'll be seated in this cozy audio-visual room to watch an inspirational video on the life and struggle for freedom of NINOY.

OUR GROUP'S LUNCH
NINOY'S ASSASSINATION IN 1983
After this visit, an inspiration really filled me to love my country as Filipino. Ninoy and Cory, after all the political persecution that happened to their family, should have silenced themselves and just raised up their kids as a normal Filipino couple. But their good conscience cannot bear to witness that our country is falling into pieces by the stroke of one strong man's dictator hand. With these, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to these great FILIPINO HEROES, who unselfishly dedicated their lives to pursue our freedom and bring back the dignity of a FREEDOM LOVING FILIPINO.
