Sa pagbabalik-tanaw ng kapatid ni Ninoy at founder ng August Twenty-One Movement (@atomphils83) na si Butz Aquino, ang direktor na si Lino Brocka ang unang nakaisip na imartsa ang katawan ni Ninoy upang makita kung ilan ang mga maglalakas-loob na sumama.

Perhaps a revived ATOM can be the catalyst for democratic renewal in 🇵🇭 similar to how the youth were mobilized by the the MFP in Thailand and the young socialists in Chile. Such mobilization is necesaary for a pluralist democracy.
Part of the official statement of the August Twenty-One Movement (@atomphils83) about the harassment incident earlier today:
#SONA2023#WalangBagongPilipinas https://t.co/PI6CJsgdGI
After showing support to other SONA groups. Honking our car horn and unfurling the ATOM banner the police stopped the car and confiscated the yellow 40 yr old August Twenty One Movement banner.
IBALIK ANG ATOM BANNER!

Yellow is a protest color and synonymous with mobilizations and facing the Marcos military dictatorship head-on in the 80's.

Sometime in May 1985, Maita hosted a breakfast salu-salo along with anti-Marcos activist Nikki Coseteng. Guests included the Who's Who of the protest movement: Butz Aquino (@atomphils83), Lean Alejandro and J.V. Bautista (BAYAN), Behn Cervantes, and columnist Louie Beltran.

May 20 - Remembering Butz on his birth anniversary.
Butz once said:
"We claim we love our country, but if we're not prepared to die for it then our love is questionable." - "I've made my peace with my God."
Washington Post 1984:
Butz Aquino says he does not think of his own safety.
"We claim we love our country, but if we're not prepared to die for it then our love is questionable."
He pauses to think, shrugs again.

The body of Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. was never embalmed after he was killed. He lay in state with all his bruises, wounds, and his bloodied safari jacket.
His mother, Doña Aurora Aquino, chose to bury him that way.
