Noynoy on the pardon of dad Ninoy's assassin

"I am not against the granting of pardon to persons who deserve it. However, people who have refused to accept their guilt and have shown no contrition for the crime they committed do not deserve pardon."

"On November 27, we will be commemorating the birth anniversary of my father. This decision by the government is not the way to honor and pay tribute to the sacrifices of a hero who gave his life for his country and fought for the freedoms that we now enjoy."

"I sincerely hope that the pardon that was granted to one of my father's assassins is not a vengeful act against our family as we continue to stand firmly in holding this government accountable for its actions."
