  • Summary

  • In 1983, a leading figure in the democratic movement was shot dead as he disembarked a plane in his native Philippines. Ninoy Aquino Jnr had prepared his speech, but he never delivered it. Yet his assassination sparked a resistance towards the oppressive rule of martial law that led to revolution, and a wave of peaceful protest that spread throughout nations of the modern world.

    If Aquino had lived, though, would his nation have continued to sleepwalk through the curfews and controls of an oppressive state? Or would the people have risen up all the same?

    Today we hear Aquino’s speech.
