We remember, Brod Ninoy.

The Upsilon Sigma Phi joins the nation in remembering Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” S. Aquino, Jr. ‘50‘s ultimate act of self-negation for the greater good of the Filipino when, 27 years ago from this day, he was martyred at the former Manila International Airport upon his return to the country.

A simple yet solemn and significant Memorial Mass in his honor was sponsored by the Upsilon at the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice in UP Diliman.

His legacy continues as on Wednesday, August 25, the Fraternity will sponsor a Leadership Conference open to all, from 1-4pm at the Malcolm Theater of the UP College of Law. Confirmed resource speakers are former QC Mayor Ismael Mathay ‘50, former Isabela Gov. Grace Padaca, and Atty. Adel Tamano. The three will work with participants to dissect the true meaning of Ninoy’s legacy of heroism and service, drawing from their experiences as exemplary leaders who have made significant contributions to nation-building and social service.

The Leadership Conference is creditable for UP Diliman students as an Alternative Classroom Learning Experience (ACLE) activity for that day. For more information, please RSVP on the Facebook event page.
