Goodbye Madam Cory Aquino
She was just a plain housewife before she became the first female president of the Philippines and was Asia’s first female president. I was six years old then when the Edsa Revolution arisen. I remembered when I bought junk foods, there was a sticker with a heart the design with text imprinted “PEOPLE POWER”. I am talking with the person named Cory Aquino. Everybody knows that our beloved former president Cory Aquino passed away last 1 August 2009, at 3:18 a.m due to her colon cancer.
She has been battling this cancer since last year. Filipinos doesn’t forget to offer a healing prayer for her recovery. I am one of those millions of people who prayed for her. Her son, Noynoy Aquino attended SK Congress last October 28-30, 2008 at Waterfront Hotel at Lahug, Cebu City. It also happens that our group, Lumad Basakanon was one of the performers at that time. The group dance Sinulog. I am one of the dancers then. Upon, performing, I saw Noynoy Aquino so I offered my dance for the recovery of her mother. Consequently, her life was stretched for almost one year.
Last Monday, when her body was moved to Manila Cathedral, many people waited, cried and raised their hand as laban sign honoring the most benevolent and courageous president at all time. I had a goose bumps looking at the people crying who flocked from different parts of the country just to witness the coffin of the president. It is true that the essence of EDSA REVOLUTION is live on that very moment.
Yesterday, the necrological service was rendered by some friends and family of Madam Cory. It was full of fun memories worthy to be remembered. They narrated how generous, kind, unselfish leader, friend, and a mother she was. Many were crying including myself. Many people looked up her as the most excellent president of all time. Many Filipinos love her so much, for the democracy that we are enjoying now a day, we owe it to her. Through her, Filipinos united and fought against the dictator, Ferdinand Marcos.
Today, August 5, 2009 is Holiday in Honor of Pres. Corazon Aquino under A Proclamation 1851: The Malacañang expressed profound grief over the loss of former president Corazon Cojuangco Aquino. They had a plan to visit the weak of the former president. However, When Kris Aquino, youngest daughter of the Cory Aquino was asked if the PGMA is welcome to attend the weak. Kris preferred not to answer the question because she doesn’t like that she could say something which is not good.
As of this moment, the solemn burial mass is still going on at Manila Cathedral. The church was filled with lots of people. Opposition and Administration are being united. Outside the church, commoners are patiently hearing the mass. They didn’t mind the pouring of the rain. Seemingly, the weather is also mourning. Kris’ message is really heart breaking. Me and my husband also cried upon listening to her.
Cory Aquino will be buried beside her husband at the Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque City. The assassination of her husband happened last August 21, 1983. After 26 years and 20 days, Cory joined her husband in heaven.
May you rest in peace.

though a lot of people will miss her, i’m sure cory passed without regrets. she has fulfilled her role not only as a mother to her children, but as a mother to all filipinos. she has lived her life long and has done a lot of good things.
@ clickmarbin … thanks sa info.. kapag si gloria ang.. I don’t know..
@ janelle.. I realized how down to earth she was, though she was the president, she even care to ask the security guard “how he was doing”. There are lots of people could testify her goodness. Motherly approach. I idolized her.
Someone like Cory Aquino will surely be missed. We’re so lucky to have someone like her in our country.
Thanks for your comment on my blog…
