The Bantayog ng mga Bayani on November 30 will honor several more men and women for the courage they showed in opposing, at great risk to their lives, the dictatorial government of the late Ferdinand Marcos ‘37. Among the honorees are Alfredo L. Malicay ‘64 and Melito T. Glor ‘67, who will be honored together with four other individuals including former president Corazon C. Aquino.

Ceremonies honoring the martyrs and heroes will be held on November 30 at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani shrine at the corner of EDSA and Quezon Avenue. The rites will include the unveiling of a section of the Wall of Remembrance on which the names of this year’s honorees have been inscribed, adding them to the illustrious names which include brods Armando J. Malay ‘34, Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. ‘50, and Merardo T. Arce ‘70.

The Bantayog ng mga Bayani Foundation Inc. was organized in 1986 to nurture the memory of those who have “given their lives for the cause of freedom and justice.” It undertakes research and documentation on the lives of these exemplary Filipinos, building up an archive not likely to be found anywhere else.
