Former Quezon City Mayor Ismael A. Mathay, Jr. ’50, former Isabela Province Governor Grace Padaca, and Atty. Adel Tamano discussed today at the UP College of Law the true meaning of Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” S. Aquino, Jr. ’50‘s legacy of heroism and service, drawing from their experiences as exemplary leaders who have made significant contributions to nation-building and social service.

Mayor Mathay, who along with Sen. Aquino joined the Upsilon in the same year, recalled how Ninoy was a “fireball” of activity, being “always three steps ahead”. Gov. Padaca shared how Ninoy’s example served as inspiration for her crusade to reform her home province, while Atty. Tamano pointed out the relevance of Ninoy’s qualities to today’s youth.

Hosted by Bow Cua and Zoe Sandejas, Continue the Legacy: Be a Hero has been an Alternative Classroom Learning Experience (ACLE) organized by the Upsilon in its continuing commemoration of Brod Ninoy ’50’s life and martyrdom for democracy in the Philippines.
