Kiko Aquino Dee: ‘No sense to worry about not being good enough for the task. No one is’
Ninoy's grandson faces the enormity of what lies ahead—with humble candor
This is the message of Kiko Aquino Dee, one of Ninoy Aquino’s eight grandchildren, given to mark his lolo’s 90th birth anniversary Sunday, Nov. 27, 2022.
What follows the message is a brief Q/A with Dee, a teacher, with TheDiarist.ph.
Good day, and thank you for joining us to celebrate Lolo Ninoy’s 90th birthday. I’m Kiko, one of his eight grandchildren.
I wish I could share with you some personal story about our Lolo, but sadly, none of us grandchildren ever got to know him personally. Instead, we learn about him from the stories of our parents, Tito Noy, Lola Cory, and also like most Filipinos, we also learn about him from our school teachers, public historians, and even Google. This is why days like Lolo Ninoy’s birthday and death anniversary can sometimes make me feel insecure: I’m his grandkid, but there’s still so much I don’t know about him.
So when I learned this year
