In The Public Square: Who wants us to forget Ninoy? Bam Aquino on the family legacy

In a surprise announcement last week, the Marcos Jr. administration moved the holiday marking the assassination of Ninoy Aquino from the actual date of the killing, August 21, to August 23, a Friday, to create a four-day holiday and to spur domestic tourism.
Was the order also designed to help Filipinos forget the martyred leader of the Marcos Sr opposition? What is Aquino’s legacy anyway? Who is he, to Filipinos today?
In this episode of In The Public Square, Rappler columnist and editorial consultant John Nery is joined by the successor, former senator Bam Aquino. He talks personal stories about Ninoy and his assassination in 1983, and shares insights on how he views the Aquino family legacy.
