Bro. Armin, wala ka naman kasing ambisyon maging presidente. Pero, may puso ka naman para sa mga mag-aaral, yung isa, puson na lang yata ang natira. May Diyos kang kinatatakutan, yung isa mahilig manakot. Matalino ka, yung isa TUSO! May alam ka sa edukasyon, yung isa ZERO!

We should not change history. We should not rename the airport. We should not forget. Aug 21, 1983, the day we Filipinos realized there was a man who said "The Filipino is worth dying for," and proved it. No one ever did the same in recent times. Mabuhay ka Ninoy!
