Keeping the legacy of Ninoy alive 25 years after...

I am Bryan Millares Balco, 21 years old, and an economics graduate from San Beda. I am currently connected with the Foundation for Communication Initiatives (FOCI) where I am serving as its communications officer for the iamninoy campaign of the Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. Foundation (BSAF).

BSAF has partnered with FOCI to help them in its iamninoy campaign which began last August 21, 2008, the 25th death anniversary of Philippine democracy martyr Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino, Jr. Both BSAF and FOCI seek to strengthen and further advance the aims and ideals of the iamninoy campaign which are people empowerment, youth involvement and modern-day heroism/volunteerism.
