Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. did not become president in 1983; instead, he was assassinated on August 21, 1983, upon returning to the Philippines after years of exile. His death galvanized opposition to the Dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos and sparked widespread protests. Ultimately, Aquino's legacy contributed to the People Power Revolution in 1986, which led to the ousting of Marcos and the rise of his widow, Corazon Aquino, as president.

Why Corazon Aquino always wear yellow?

She didn't ALWAYS wear yellow but yellow meant so much to her. Her husband, Ninoy, was kidnapped, imprisoned, tortured, exiled - to keep him from doing journalistic revelations regarding Marcos' graft and corruption. He was killed in Manila International Airport and his death opened the eyes of millions of Filipinos throughout the world of what was going on. Yellow then became the symbol of this freedom... this freedom from being exiled, this freedom from the Marcoses. Like the song: "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree," the Filipinos actually tied yellow ribbons around trees all throughout the country.

Who killed Ninoy Aquino?

It was members of the military escort that killed Ninoy. Originally the murder was blamed on some criminal (Rolando Galman) whose bullet riddled corpse was left on the tarmac for all to see. The only problem was that even though he was shot many times there was little or no blood. This indicates that the body was already dead when it was riddled. The assassination was ordered by Danding Cojuangco, a relative of Ninoy as confessed by the assassin Pablo Martinez. Evidently Ferdinand was livid when he heard of the incident. edit Rolando Galman, as stated by another answer, was already dead before Ninoy was murdered. FYI The military escorts were all jailed but have since been pardoned and released.
