Early life
Aquino was born at May 20, 1939. His father is the former senator Benigno Aquino Sr. and his mother is Aurora Aquino. His siblings are Benigno S. "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., Paul Aquino, Maria Teresa Aquino-Oreta, Maria Gerarda Aquino, Maria Guadalupe Aquino and, Maria Aurora Aquino.[2]
Early career
He started out as an entrepreneur and was the President of Mofire Fiberglass Inc. from the 1970s until the 1980s. In that period, he wasn't interested in politics. He was said to be cynical about politics and believed that it was a "ballgame of the rich".[3] He started participating in politics when his brother Ninoy, was assassinated on August 21, 1983 at the Manila International Airport.[3][4]
Political career
Under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos, Agapito was one of the founders of the August Twenty One Movement (ATOM), Coalition of Organizations for the Restoration of Democracy (CORD) and Bansang Nagkakaisa sa Diwa at Layunin (BANDILA).[4] Jejomar Binay was also one of the founders of ATOM as a legal counselor.[5] Agapito became close friends with Binay as co-founders.
In 1987, he was elected to be a Senator of the Philippines and continued to be part of Senate in his 2nd election in 1992. He then became part of the House of Representatives when he was elected as representative of the 2nd District of Makati in 1998. He continued to be as a representative until his third term ended in 2007. In addition, he also was the Deputy Speaker for Luzon from November 2000 to January 2001 and the Minority Floor Leader from January 2001 to June 2001. In 2010, he said in an interview with The Philippine Star that he had plans in returning to the Senate but after learning that his nephew, Benigno Aquino III, was one of the Liberal Party's candidate for president, he backed out and supported his nephew. He instead ran for Mayor of Makati as an independent candidate but lost. After which, he never again pursued any political positions.
He was known for being an advocate of small farmers and of cooperative principles as he legislated the notable Magna Carta for Small Farmers, Seed Act, and the Cooperative Code of the Philippines.[4]
