Ninoy Aquino Monument
Ayala Ave. (Paseo de Roxas), Makati City, Makati City, PhilippinesAbout
The Ninoy Aquino Monument is a bronze monument by sculptor Peter de Guzman which commemorates the slain of former senator and Filipino hero Benigno "Ninoy" S. Aquino Jr., the father of the current President of the Philippines, Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III. As one of the leaders in the opposition against the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, Ninoy protested the social injustices committed during the martial law for years and publicly attached Marcos' regime. The Ninoy Aquino Monument is depicting Ninoy with two bodyguards who are holding him, as if hiding from Ninoy's back plausibly because they are afraid to fight. The fearless Ninoy stood proud that he is a Filipino who fought for country's democracy.
