Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. was assassinated on August 21, 1983, primarily due to his opposition to the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos. Aquino was a prominent critic of Marcos and his policies, advocating for democracy and human rights. His return to the Philippines from exile was seen as a threat to the Marcos government, which feared his influence could galvanize opposition. His assassination sparked widespread outrage and mobilized the Filipino people, ultimately leading to the People Power Revolution and the end of Marcos's rule.
