Orchid breeder Rolita Spowart presented the orchid, Dendrobium Ninoy Aquino, to Atienza inside the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Nature Center as the country marked Aquino’s 25th death anniversary.
The orchid will serve as a constant reminder for all of us that a brave statesman has chosen to give his life for unity and democracy in our land. Like its petals that last longer than other cut flowers, may the bloom of the Ninoy Aquino Orchid also remind us of the hero’s undying love for his country and fellowmen,” noted Atienza, who hopes that the naming of the new species of orchid after the former senator would further perpetuate the heroism and martyrdom of Aquino.
