The Philippines observed a holiday yesterday, August 18, because it was anniversary of assassination of former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. The real date should be August 21 but President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, moves some of the holidays that are in the middle of the week to a Monday so as to create a long weekend.

On that day, after a three year exile, Ninoy Aquino returned to the Philippines where he was shot in the head as he was being escorted off the plane at the Manila International Airport (later renamed to Ninoy Aquino International Airport). This was what sparked the 1986 EDSA Revolution.
