National Heroes Day: A reminder of valor and heroism for today’s times

National Heroes Day: A reminder of valor and heroism for today’s times

The amazingly large number of people who mourned the death of former President Corazon C. Aquino last Aug. 1 and braved the rains and whatnot to wait for her funeral cortege to pass by from Manila Cathedral in Manila to her final resting place at the Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque City last Aug. 5 proves how much Filipinos value and respect her for the great things she did for our nation.

Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino. Ninoy, on the other hand, earned the country’s respect and admiration for speaking bravely against the injustices brought upon by the Marcos dictatorship in the 1970s and it was Cory who continued his legacy.

Loida Nicolas Lewis and her Husband’s Legacy

New York-based Filipina industrialist honors the memory of her late husband through social philanthropy

APART from the memorials and monuments such as The Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture in Baltimore, The Reginald F. Lewis International Law Center in Harvard University, the Reginald F. Lewis High School of Business and Law, and The Lewis College in Sorsogon City, Philippines, there’s no greater measure of the value of a man’s life than the progress of another’s because of it.
