A Cory Aquino profile by Sheila Coronel
Sheila Coronel, one of the very few Filipino journalists to receive a Ramon Magsaysay Award, has covered every Philippine president from Marcos to Arroyo. In 2006, she wrote the following memorable profile of former president Cory Aquino in time for the 20th anniversary of EDSA’s People Power revolt. An excerpt below, with a link to the entire article.
Corazon C. Aquino. Photo by Lilen Uy
TO THIS day, Cory Aquino remains a firm believer in people power, never mind that its currency has been much devalued by the dashed expectations of those who had taken part in popular revolts. People power, she says, “will bring change but not the ultimate or desired change that will continue.” This is why, she says, “we have to change first within ourselves and we have to continuously find out what it is that we can do to offer to our country.”
To this day, Aquino talks about politics in moral and religious terms.
Her political vocabulary is firmly Catholic: she speaks of suffering, sacrifice, good and evil, right and wrong. Her analysis of contemporary problems is couched in religious parable. To Cory Aquino, life — and politics — is a morality play, and our lives are nothing but pale versions of the Passion of Jesus Christ.
“You know,” she says, “when Ninoy was in prison, I used to think all of us have a quota for suffering and when Ninoy was assassinated, I supposed I’d filled up my quota of suffering. But that isn’t so, and when we think of Jesus Christ who did not do anybody any wrong, He was goodness Himself, and yet He was prepared to make all of these sacrifices and His suffering did not end until he died. So I suppose, each of us, while we are in this world, while we are here in the Philippines, must think of what it is that we can still offer to make life better for our fellow Filipinos.

I just want to say thank you to Mrs. Aquino for the love of country, for being a mother to your countrymen, for being an example, for still being concerned about our country’s situation, for fighting for our freedom and the Arroyo’s evil intentions even if we all know that you are fighting something for yourself.
Your husband died fighting for the Filipino’s. Am praying that you will still be with us until we are a corrupt free country. That means you will still have a long life ahead. Please keep the faith that you have in you. I know you can do this. You did it before when NINOY was assasinated, and it was worst than your situation now. With your neverending faith in GOD, HE will do it again for you. Pls be strong for us. We need to take gloria down before she gets us. Shes worst than anybody else. Shes worst than marcos. I guess pareho lang sila ni RAMOS. Thats why they can’t afford to leave malacanang. You know everything thats going on. I know GOD will still extend your life because you still have to finish a long time battle that all of us are fighting.
GOD bless always Mrs. AQUINO. Our president, our mother, our pride.
July 5th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
I would like to thank you Mrs. Aquino for being the best president in my life. I am praying that the future leaders of our country will love our country as you and your late husband have.
God Bless you and God Blessed me for having witnessed you.

i saw mrs. corazon c. aquino in baclaran church in 1986 and she gave me a handshake…which was an honor for me to meet one of the greatest filipino leaders in our time. the second time was during the funeral of her late husband, the former senator benigno aquino, filipino martyr and hero in our hearts. i had lots of photos and great memories during the funeral which i considered a great moment in philippine history.
today, i join every filipino in prayer for more courage in facing all the challenges,trials and sacrifices the nation is having now. God bless mrs. aquino, and thank you for the great legacy you have given to all the filipino people. our sincerest prayers for you…….

I hope PGMA will humble herself and pay PCCA a visit in the hospital. It will be definitely good news to see them together again. I think it will be a good respite from all the bad news that we are hearing if ever the two women presidents together again with FVR included. May they set aside their personal and political differences and instead work together again for the country.
We love you President Aquino and thank you for service and sacrifices for the Filipino people. You are truly a great person. We will continue to pray for your speedy recovery. God bless you!
July 7th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
I also hope that Mrs. Imelda Marcos will find sincerity in her hearts to reconcile with President Cory Aquino now that they are both aged. Although I hate and despise Imelda before and respect and admire Cory until now, I wish to see the two powerful women in their own rights together, setting aside their differences and setting a good example of true reconciliation and peace. Who knows the situation where our beloved President Aquino is in now may be the start of a new beginning for us Filipinos as we all come together and bridge our political, social, economic and personal differences and make this country great again. Who knows it will still be because of President Aquino that a new hope will dawn to our country.
July 7th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Thank you Mam for restoring our democracy. you are indeed a great person
and a great leader as well. We are praying for your speedy recovery May God Bless and Keep You Always..
July 8th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Thank you very much Tita Cory! Pagaling po kayo at rest assured, I and the millions of Filipinos are always thinking of you and praying for your health and your family. Without you, I am sure the Philippines would witnessed a violent history come the dictator’s demise and the power grabbing that would have ensued. Without you, the Philippines would not be enjoying a democracy imperfect and corrupt though it may be. Who says a nation’s progress should only rest on the leader - I think by now we know that it is all Filipinos’ responsbility especially the upper classes - think of the Indian exapatriates and what they did to India. Hope the rich Filipinos desist from further corruption and the masses to refrain from voting corrupt and or convicted Filipinos.

Thank you madame President Cory!for me isa kang bayani.Sa iyong mga gawa at paninindigan kitang kita kung gaano mo kamahal ang bansang Pilipinas.Sana ikay tularan ng lahat.Godbless you..

I was 12 Years old when Pres. Aquino became the 1st Woman President of the Philippines. I Saw how she handle all the trials in her Administration and I can say she handle it very very well. Giving became Free to All. etc etc. i saw her too as she step down to the Presidency. I felt sad then but for her it ok.. She not Interested to grab or stay in Power for so long. When the time is up she really go out and step down. She A Living Legend to all of Us. I always support whatever since into.. During the Ratification rally for the US Military Bases in Olongapo.Even thought is raining very hard I walk with her in Luneta. I was college then. side by side i join here. Any Election personality that she endorse Lim etc etc I support it. every time she all or need us Filipino I Stand with her.. Now I’m not there to see her winning the Colon Cancer.. It very painful to me that know that she need our support im very very far.. But eve thought I’m here in Dubai I Want her to know that I will Always pray for her.. and I hope to See her strong again. I wish i Can visit her one day.. I Respect you Mr. Aquino and I will always put in my mind all the seeds that you gave to us, filipino. to love our country to defend our democracy to sacrifice for our country, One Thing I can Promise you is this if there will be others chance for me to serve to our country men. I will be Honor and Glad to say that I’ll Follow your footsteps as a Good Example of a True Leader of the Nation. God Bless you And God Bless All the Filipino….
July 12th, 2009 at 3:22 am
You’re the BEST and real President I’ve ever experienced - a woman and Mother of good heart and soul. I won’t wish for anything but BEST for you in GOD’s hands and for whatever HIS will is… ma it also be your deepest desire. God must have love you so much and so are we - Filipinos. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us and our country.
July 13th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
One thing i noticed, is that Mrs. Aquino had sacrificed alot for our country. But no one seems to join her fight for freedom. I just read that the transport strike was a flop in Metro manila. I am sad to hear this news. We should all act as one. It’s not just the public transpo’s concern to go on strike. Imagine how much money this OIL companies will loose if no one. Not a single motorist will fill their tank on one day. They will loose millions of pesos. This isn’t just a cry of the poor. This should be backed-up by the rich people. I appeal to all the FILIPINOS to make that sacrifice that we are praying for. We are praying too much for Mrs. Aquino. Why don’t we try to do what she had done for our country? Imagine if we sacrifice just one day. Just one day. One day wiht no one filling up their gas tanks. One day without any FILIPINO sending dollars to the Philippines so that the arroyo’s can’t get anything anymore money from them. One day of prayer. One day! One PHILIPPINES!
GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY

…hello po! ako po ay isang mag aaral ng Marcelo H.del Pilar nat’l H.s Sa Bulacan.gusto ko po sanang ibahagi ang tulang ito para kay madame cory aquino bago mahuli ang lahat!
Para kay Cory Aquino
Ako ay may iniidolo
Ang pangalan niya’y Cory Aquino
Una siyang naging babaeng pangulo
Sa Pilipinas kung saan ako’y tumubo
Dalwampu’t dalawan g taon na ang nakalipas
Pamahalaang diktaturyal kanyang napalayas
Ang laging kasuotang dilaw
Ang naging simbolo ng demokrasyang kanyang ipinaibabaw
Sa kasalukuyan
Siya ang nangunguna sa paghahanap ng katotohanan
Iyan ang dahilan
Kung bakit ko siya hinahangaan
Sa aking mga kaklase siya’y aking naipagmalaki
Naging dahilan upang aking pag-aaral ay lalong ipursige
Ngunit isang araw,ako’y nagulat
Dahil siya pala’y may colon cancer na kailangan niyang labanan
Ako’y napaluha at napatanong,
Bakit ngayon pa?
Ngayon pa na sa muling pagsusulong ng demokrasya
Ay siya ang nangunguna
Kaya sa Panginoong Maykapal ako’y nanalangin
Para sa kanyang paggaling
Upang siya naman ang magpagaling
Sa mga kancer sa ating lipunan na ating dinadaing!
July 20th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
my beloved president
thank you very much for the wonderful things you have done to us filipinos. we will forever be proud to have YOU as the most honest president ever the philippines had……..we love you TITA CORY!
July 20th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
alam lahat ng mga pilipino na si dating pangulong cory ay malaki ang contribution sa sambayanang pilipino lalo na sa panahonng EDSA Revulotion.May sariling kakayahan at talino para ipaglaban ang karapatan ng bawat pilipino.At this time siguro it’s God decission to have Cory sa sitwasyonniya ngayon. We just hope na may hihintay pang bukas sa kanya at sana makarekober siya.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:16 pm
I joined the grateful Filipino nation in praying within the innermost of our hearts the full recovery and healing of our beloved ” Mother of the Nation”.
I wish the Almighty will hear the prayer of the filipino people for Madame President Corazon Aquino’s well being and strength for her family, I can felt the same way their feeling when my own mother was in sickbed for three years..Its really heartbreaking!!!
May the Good lord blesses you always Madame President!! you are the symbol of our freedom and your presence is the rock behind our democracy..

The biggest and most important thing Mrs Aquino brought to our fragmented nation is the restoration of our democracy. At a time when the majority felt so scared against the dictatorship, Mrs Aquino stood there and met her adversary face to face. That alone paved the way for our freedom, our cherised democracy. Thank you Mrs Aquino for giving us the lasting gift of democracy, sadly many of us took for granted of such thing wherein once upon a time it was indeed wishful thinking.
Not to take away your contribution to democracy was your chance to restore the stability of it. How I wish you spearheaded the revival of the 1935 Constitution, the 2 party system et al. Again it hurts to say this but your biggest mistake in my book was creating an entirely New Constitution, wherein a multi party system promotes instability among the political landscape.
Still, I salute your contributions and I promise to tie a yellow ribbon somewhere my backyard. Kaya ni Ninoy, hinding hindi ka nag-iisa Madame President!
July 25th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
to our beloved former president Aquino.. my prayers are always be with you.. hope u will overcome these struggles.. i believe that u are a woman of great faith… OUr Almighty God will help you…. thank you for bringing back our lost democracy and independence…..sana po gumaling ka na from your illness…. jelo

Thanks to GMA 7 for doing this blog site. Thanks for letting us say something. At least to express what we feel about our Former President and about our current president. Matuto po tayo at magkaisa ulit at buhayin natin at mga pinaglalaban ng dati nating pangulo. Maraming salamat sa mga kababayan nating patuloy ang pag laban para sa lahat ng pilipino.
Sabi nga po ni PRES. Aquino. Salamat sa Diyos at ginawa nya akong PILIPINO.
Lets be proud and fight. Lets continue CORY’s cry for freedom. Let’s be FILIPINO’s again. Let’s vote against any Administration candidates. Lets Vote for someone who is willing to be a FILlIPINO.
GOD BLESS US ALL

President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino symbolizes greatness,courage,dedication and humility she’s the Philippines most loved President that follows the likes of Ramon Magsaysay,Manuel Quezon and Manuel Roxas.She inspired the world as the real icon of democracy in modern times that can be compared to the great leaders of civilization in the likeness of Abraham Lincoln,George Washington,Mahatma Gandhi,Winston Churchill,Nelson Mandela and Lech Walesa.Her triumph exemplified change in Communist Europe and Authocratic Asia.She’s a leader par excellance that every aspiring leader must emulate ,a woman of courage who sacrificed her personal comfort and embraced hardship for the sake of her people.Now in the most challenging time of her life her legacy remains a strong force to unite a filipino nation in the midst of another threat of yet impending political crisis,President Cory’s struggle to defend democracy will linger in the minds of many generations and will serve as a shining armour that freedom is a God given gift that no mortal can suppress.Her contribution to the world will be forever lingered.May God grant her miraculous healing and be able to recover ,for her mission is not yet over.

I thank you for loving your country like your own child! Be happy in times of trials and tribulations! Everybody has a beggening and all of our genesis was good! but our ending or revelation is up to the creator “God” in heaven and earth. I know you want to sleep like Lazarus in the same time you also want to be with your earthly family! wag po kayung mag-alala Filifino po ako! keep on praying “God” kung ano ang kagustuhan nya kay tita Corey hindi po ung kagustuhan natin sa kanyang mangyari! Mas Marunong po ang Diyos na lumikha kaysa sa ating lahat.
GOD BLESS YE ALL!

I watched again and again the documentary of Ninoy and Cory Aquino’s life together and I cannot hold my tears and emotion how the martial law of Ferdinand Marcos made the hell on their lives. The cruelty of dictatorship is like burning fire of hell. And in the midst of these inhumanity that strucked our nation’s history, the culprits including Imelda Marcos are living free nowadays. Well, history had already judged the Marcoses as the worst nightmare the Philippines ever had.
Long live President Corazon Aquino!, whatever happens, your legacy and Ninoy’s will live in the hearts of freedom loving Filipinos forever.
WE LOVE YOU MADAME PRESIDENT! I PRAYED THAT THE LORD WILL GRANT YOU COMFORT AND HEALING..

Maam CORY
Ilaw ka ng aking Bayang kinagisnan
Haligi’t suhay ng Demokrasya sa Silangan
Ina, Gabay, Pinuno, lahat iyong ginampanan
Larawan ka ng Pag-kakaisa at Pagtutulungan
Hindi ka nawalan ng Pag-asa ng tayo’y inuusig
Bagkos kami’y Pinag-kaisa’t Ipinagkapit-bisig
Ipinikt ang mata, sa Itaas kami iyong pinasalig
Hinangaan ng Mundo at kung saan mang panig
Lahat ng Pag-subok, Tumayo ka’t di kumurap
Lahat ng Hamon, Tumindig ka at humarap
Dahil dito’y bumangon kaming Mahihirap
Hinawi mo ang Ulap para sa aming Pangarap
Ang Henerasyong ito ay maraming natutunan
Sa Puso ng Salin-lahing Pilipino ito ay tatangan
Ang dasal mong Mapabuti ang bawat naming Tahanan
Ibabalik namin sayo, dahil Ikaw ay higit naming Kailangan

As far as I remember I was in grade 2, when I tasted a cookie in which ma’am Cory baked during the birthday party for Kris. I never thought that she will become our first woman president and an icon of democracy. The last time I saw her was in 2006 when I went back to the Philippines for vacation, and brought her a bag of pistachio nuts and before we leave for New York, my wife and I visited her again for courtesy, she never fails to give us words of wisdom, and she always tells us to pray, go to church every Sunday and stay connected to our family.
With much respect I humble myself in thanking you for all the blessing and kindness that you and your family gave us. With this, for the Filipinos around the world, they have consider her as the First Woman President, an Icon & Mother of Democracy in the Philippines, to us you are Ma’am Cory, because you consider us Family even though my father is your family driver for the longest time. Thank you and get well, we are still here praying.

I’m still in shock when I heard the news. I live in Canada for almost 10 years now and I never really had a chance to read any Philippine news until today. I didn’t know that Tita Cory is sick for sometime now that’s why when I heard the news, I can’t stop crying.
This is a sad, sad day.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:26 am
Tita Cory…good bye and thank you…you will always be alive in our hearts and minds. Thank you for being our President and for being the most honest, simplest, humblest, most sincere president not only in the Philippines but in the whole world…no one can duplicate you…
I can still remember 1986, when we marched (together with my colleagues in COA) from EDSA to channel 4 and 2 and to EDSA Camp Aguinaldo…it was such an event that i cannot and will not forget as long as i live…this bloodless revolution that helped return democracy in our land. Thank you Tita Cory…and Paalam…we love you!
August 1st, 2009 at 11:02 am
im very sad on what our mother of democracy is suffered for a long time…
bakit kaya c madam pa ang nagkaroon ng sakit na yon….bkit hindi iba na lang..ung mga gumugulo sa pilipinas ngaun..ung mga kurakot…..

SALAMAT…

Thank you very much for bringing democracy to our country. I have always wanted to say thank you and appreciate all the good things you’ve done for every Filipinos. It would be very hard for me to forget someone like you because you look like my mom and I am deeply saddend with what has happened to you. I hope and pray that the rest of the family are ok and let us all continue to pray for the eternal repose of her soul. Thank you for being someone whom we can a “leader” and an instrument of peace for everyone. Condolences to the whole family.

To the family of Pres. Cory Aquino,condolence…As i watch the news this morning,it never crosses my mind that it would be about the death of our beloved former President…The person who i truly believe is the one and the only President of the Philippines who is loved and adored, not only by the Filipino people,but of other countries as well..I dont know why i cried as i watch the news,it is maybe because i felt the pain of losing someone so important…i adore the courage that the family is showing to the viewing public..I hope not only the memory will live on,but the legacy as well…We love you president Corazon Aquino…Farewell….
August 1st, 2009 at 5:23 pm
You are a great inspiration to us - Filipinos!
You had made us proud to be called Filipino…^-^
What you have done in our country will never be forgotten, it will always remain in our hearts - just like history.
I pray that GOD will pass your faith in HIM to the members of your family.
You have been a woman of faith and a woman of prayer ^-^

Una sa lahat, Bilang isang Maka-Bayang Filipino, Sa isip, Salita at Gawa ay itinuring kong “iNA” ng ating Bansang Pilipinas ang Kagalang-galang at Karispe-respetong Presidente Gng. Corazon Aquino. Sa nakalipas na panahon… sa kanyang pag-yao… lubos ang naramdaman kong (at naming mga OFW) ang pagkalungkot… pagka-dismaya… pagbagsak ng balikat sa patuloy naming pakikipagsapalaran dito sa dayuhang bansa… at tuluyan nang nawalan ng pag-asa na mahimok ang ’sang bayanang Pilipino na magkaisa para labanan ang mga Ganid at Suwapang sa ating bansa. Sa pagkawala ni “iNANG Corazon Aquino, Nawa’y ito’y maging hudyat at magbigay senyales sa lahat ng Pilipinong nagmamalasakit sa Inang-Bayan…na imulat ang mga mata sa pangkasalukuyang paghihirap na nangyayari sa ilalim ng katiwalian ng mga taong nagpapakasasa mula sa kanilang kapangyarihan. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit… May your Soul “Inang Corazon Aquino” rest in peace. Amen.

THE FILIPINO IS FACING ANOTHER CHALLENGE BECAUSE WE LOST A TRUE LEADER OF
DEMOCRACY AND WHO’S GOING TO TAKE HER PLACE SA TINGIN KO WALA DAHIL ANG MGA POLITIKO NGAYON AY SOBRANG TALINO THEY CARE JUST FOR THEM SELF. PRES. CORY
WAS AN INSPIRATION I HOPE POLITICS WELL TURN ITS COURSE BECAUSE OF HER DEATH,
SANA WALA NANG AWAY SA POLITIKA. AND FOR THE AQUINO FAMILY I HOPE YOU’L BE MORE STRONGER AS SHE WAS.
PAALAM PRES. CORY AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING BACK OUR DEMOCRACY WE LOVE YOU AND WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU
August 1st, 2009 at 7:27 pm
To the whole family, friends & relatives of the late genuine President Corazon C. Aquino we would like to say a warmth condolence not just for you but for the entire Filipino nation.
It’s been sad to those who really believe that this matter comes along our way…but as Pres. Aquino say’s, we must be united and be on fight for our rights mostly for democracy.
Great leader comes along the way…but we must not forget those great times they shared to us…hoping that we could be able to continue what she showed to us.
Into the respective family…it deeply hurts; but it is much worst if we could be able to see much of her that suffering from pain. Somehow, I felt the same when my mother passed away. We must be thankful for the days that your family united even before and after your great Father died; but still there were much memorable days to count.
Let us just pray for her soul and mostly for our country and as well as our countrymen…let us not give chance those in the positions to handle everything and to acknowledge thier corrupt mental beliefs. In due that even Ms. Aquino does not like this scenario for all of us.
Again, condolence to the respective Aquino family…more braveness for all of you, especially on Kris…be proud that you have that kind of mother, hope to continue what she really wants not us for individuals but for the Philippines and we are thankful for sharing her to the entire Filipino nations.
Madam…Mabuhay po kayo at Pagpalain pa tayo ng Poong Maykapal.

I’ve known Cory Aquino as the wife of the late senator Ninoy Aquino, and then as the mother of the t.v. personality Kris Aquino.Pero ngaun, as she peacefully past away, unti-unti nakikila ko ang tunay na Corazon Aquino.I now know as her a democracy icon, a strong willed woman. I may not have a yellow ribbon tied on my car, or I may not be wearing a yellow shirt. But Cory’s legacy, her memories, her love for the country, nandito at bumabalot sa puso ko. Let us not mourn. Sa halip, let us all rejoice, for the good Lord gave us Cory. Pilipinas, ipagpatuloy naten ang sinimulan ni Ginang Aquino. My deepest and sincerest condolences to all whose lives are touched by President Cory. Mabuhay ka Presidente Cory Aquino.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:03 pm
A woman of eloquence and simplicity.Her thiry-minute address at the US Congress brought $200,000,000.00 aid from the USA.Her administration engendered opposition and political enemies, and coup-d etats. Yet, Cory was unruffled and stood sturdy and stately as a rock, even a rock of refuge for her countrymen. Now she is gone, she will long be remembered, leaving a legacy that will spur everybody to emulate her shining examples of courage, dignity, love for freedom, and genuine concern for others, especially the less fortunate and needy- and fear and love to her Divine Protector and Deliverer.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:35 am
She will always be remembered as an icon of true democracy..we will be missing her as a mother,as a President and us a role model of Filipino women..Our deepest condolence to her family
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:30 am
madam corazon aquino,your extraordinary courage has inspired a lot of filipino women from all walks of life,you are a hero to us…Indeed what you have done to our country have no parallel.You have been the greatest mother ever lived,whose warmth embrace protected us from oppress and nortured us with freedom…thank you!

It’s a tragedy for us FILIPINOs loosing her. Sa ilang buwan na nasa loob ng ospital si Gng. Aquino nag kaisa ulit tayo sa pananalangin at sa pag asang malampasan ng ating pangulo ang kanyang nararamdaman. Sa araw na ito ako’y nakikiusap sa ating mga kababayan. HWAG! HWAG nating sayangin ang mga ginawa, mga pinag lalaban ni CORY. Hwag nating hayaan na may isa pang dictador ( GLORIA) na mag patakbo sa ating pamahalaan. Sa totoo po malaki ang pinag kaiba ni Cory sa mga sumunod sakanya. Si Erap lang ang sumundo na may puso para sa tao. Bakit sya bumaba sa pwesto? pwede nya naman ipag laban ang kanyang sarili kung wala talaga syang kasalanan. Nakiusap ang taong umalis sya, at nakinig si ERAP kahit na wala syang kasalanan. Si gloria, ilang paki usap? ilang kailangan mamatay para lang bumaba sya. Si Cory ang isang taong nag bigay buhay, pag asa sa mga Pilipino. Si Ramos nag sawa sa Korakot. Si Erap gustong ibalik ang magandang sistema kaso na pag kamalan na masama dahil sa jueteng. SI GMA, nag pakayaman para sa sarili nya. hindi para sa bayan.
Si CORY nag sabing.. ” Nagpapasalamat sya sa Diyos at sya’y naging PILIPINO. Si Gloria. Nagpapasalamat sya sa Pilipino at tayoy nagpaka tanga habang ninanakaw nya lahat sa atin.
Hwag nating sayanging ang mga pinag lalaban ni Cory. Ipaga patuloy natin ito para sa ating kinabukasan, Ngayon pa lang pababain na Si GLORIA>

Maraming maraming Salamat Po Ginang Cory Aquino…..
Di po namin malilimutan ang LABAN na inyo pong pinaghirapan para sa amin….Ang kasiyahan at kalayaan na aming natamo mula s inyo ni Ginoong Ninoy Aquino ay di masasayang dahil ang DEMOKRASYA ay mananatili ito magpakailanman.
Tuloy ang LABAN…..
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas…..

I have never been experienced writing a blog or comments to someone who is a history icon. I was in grade III when we had our People Power and I even asked my father how to vote for Snap Elections. At the very young age, I have learned the true meaning of Democracy because of her. Afterwards, my interest in social issues became more responsive as I grew up. She left marks to my childhood principles in a way that showing how genuine faith is and not all war is companioned by bullets.
I deeply thank her for the freedom what we’re enjoying now and teaching how to hold faith in our hearts. I can’t manage myself crying….

Me and my family was deeply saddened by the death of Tita Cory yesterday morning. Me and my brothers were part of the historical Edsa People Power 1. I went there and distributed sandwiches and juices at my own will. Hindi man namin kamag-anak si Tita Cory, mananatii siyang buhay sa puso namin. Naging bahagi rin kami ng kasaysayan dahil sa kanya.
Malungkot man, ay masaya na rin because she’s now in peace with Lord.
At sa mga anak niya… love each other, we love you, too.
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
I was not able to witness the 1986 Edsa Revolution. I am young. But I know how important Ms. Cory Aquino is to our country. I would like to extend our sincerest condolences to the family. We are all at a loss. My family is very sad, the whole country mourns because we know we have lost THE MOST IMPORTANT WOMAN IN THE PHILIPPINES, THE GREATEST FILIPINA THAT EVER LIVED. She would always say ‘THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR HELP”…BUT TRUTH IS, WE SHOULD BE THE ONES TO THANK HER.
kung wala si Cory Aquino noon? Nasaan kaya tayo ngayon? Nakamit kaya natin ang demokrasyang tinatamo natin ngayon?
August 2nd, 2009 at 8:05 pm
It hurts to say GOODBYE! but we need to accept the will of God in wich we prayed to Him “MAY THY HOLY WILL BE DONE”.
We know that Cory Aquino is gone by her physical, but she is alive in the memory of every Filipino, for what she have shown to the nation.
I salute you madam President !!!
August 2nd, 2009 at 8:07 pm
I’m just a High school student, I know what our former President Cory Aquino faces many sacrifices since the Martial law was been ordered by Ferdinand Marcos. I’m so glad that a good, simple woman raised her 5 children without her husband. And now she is now with her husband Benigno Aquino in heaven. Masaya ako na naging Pilipino ako dahil kinaya ni Tita Cory ang pagsubok ng Buhay!!! Saludo po ako sa inyo Tita Cory kahit kayo ay nasa langit na.
Hindi po namin malilimutan ang kabutihan taglay at pagiging relihiyosa kahit maraming pagsubok na ang dumating sa Pamilya ng Aquino…
Condolence po sa Pamilya Aquino. St. Cory, Patron of Democracy. Pray for us all Filipinos.
I’M PROUD BEING FILIPINO!!! MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!!!!

SALAMAT, Maam CORY
Hanggang sa Huli kami iyong Pinahanga
Di mo nais Pumatak ang aming mga Luha
Naulila ang Bayan ng Inang Mapagkalinga
Anghel ka na ng Bansa, katabi ng Maylikha
Tunay kang Pastol, Pilipinas ang Iyong kawan
Kami ay Pinagpala, iyo kaming kinagiliwan
Lubhang Masakit, pansamantala mo kaming Iiwan
Ina, Ama, Pinuno, Bayani ka sa aming Larawan
Salamat sa Sipag at Tiyaga na iyong ginawa
Salamat sa Panalangin sa amin di ka nagsawa
Salamat sa Katapangan, Diktadorya iyong Pinahupa
Salamat sa Demokrasya, Pinalaya mo kami ng Payapa
Ang Paalala mong Magdasal di namin Kakalimutan
Ang Iniwan mong Kalayaan, lagi namin Ipaglalaban
Ang Payo mong Umangat, Sisikapin naming Makamtan
Lahat ng iyong Habilin, Isasapuso hanggang Hukluban

Hindi po nakikiramay ang sambayanang pilipino sa pamilya Aquino, dahil ang sambayanang pilipino mismo ang nawalan, hindi sila nakikiramay dahil sila mismo ay nagluluksa. Marami pong salamat sa kasalukuyang ginagalawan ng kabataan na kontribusyon nyo sa bayan.
Sa pagkakataong ito di man kilala sa personal nagpapasalamat ang sambayang pilipino at nagluluksa.

I was only 1 year old the time she started ruling our country…
I don’t have enough knowledge that time, on what is totally the main event in this world, especially in our country…
I don’t really know how she put people in the right stage of leaving…
I’m always asking myself, “how far Madam Cory Aquino does goes during her time (as the President) for the people to show their respect, love, care and sympathy to her and to her family as well?”
…but that question is answered already…I think what the people doing right now is the real answer…
She wants us to build the true meaning of UNITY, which I think, the most important thing that we must show to build a better nation or to make our country a better nation…
To Madam Cory Cojuangco-Aquino,
Thank you for being an inspiration for others…for them to build the faith, dedication, courage, love and respect to their selves…
The nation will be missing you…and I’m sure that the whole country will truly open their hearts, not only for what you did, but for who you are…
Madam Cory Aquino, a leader, a mother, a, sister, a friend of all nations….
Thank You so much!!!

I and the rest of our family giving the best salute and condolence to the Aquino Family. The former president is always remembered by every filipinos because of the courage and being a very strong woman even in the last minute, we all witness that. She became a very good leader not shouting for what she is or what she does. As she rules, she remain a very simple woman who just want to wear a yellow dress. How simple but deep within she is a great woman. We thank you Ma’am Cory for everything you’ve done to this country. Your mission is accomplished. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:41 am
I always remember my father told me why my nickname “Ninoy”.. he said that Ninoy Aquino was the best Senator he voted before I was born. Tita Cory is my first president I voted in my whole life. I always remember I joined the rally in Legaspi during my colleges days to support the EDSA I & we succeded. I Got my first job & earnings as Engineer during Tita Cory terms. I loved Tita Cory because she is has unconditional love to her family & our country. President Cory Aquino will always be in my heart forever…& my family will never forget you/ Thank you very much Tita Cory.

TO YOU MADAME CORY, I DEDICATE JAMES HENRY LEIGH HUNT’S POEM:
ABOU BEN ADHEM
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight of his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold:-
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
‘What writest thou?’ - The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered ‘The names of those who love the Lord.’
‘And is mine one?’ said Abou. ‘Nay, not so,’
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still; and said ‘I pray thee then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow-men.’
The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names who love of God had blessed,
And lo! Ben Adhem’s name led all the rest.
Truly Madame Cory, your name leads the rest…
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND FIND ETERNAL
HAPPINESS WITH NINOY AND THE LORD!

Salamat po Mahal naming Pangulo
Salamat sa Demokrasyang ibinalik mo
Sa bawat ihip ng hangin nadarama namin ito
Ang kalayaan at sarap ng maging isang Pilipino
Ay utang naming lahat sa’yo Cory Aquino
Nagpupugay ako Mahal na Pangulo
Papuri ko’y iyo at tunay po ito
Sa pakikibakang ginawa mo
Di alintana hirap maiahon lang ang bayang mo.
Dumating din ang araw na sa puwesto’y naluklok
Hindi mo man nais ay naglingkod ka
Sa bayang sinilangan ay nanungkulan ka
Sa abot ng iyong kaya sa bawat pinoy naki-isa ka.
Saludo ako sa iyong panunungkulan
Kung katapatan ang ating pag-uusapan
Sinumpaang tungkulin tunay na ginampanan
Na paglingkuran Diyos, bayan at ang mamamayan
Naluklok ka man sa tungkuling iyan
Kaban ng yaman kailan man di pinag-intirisan
Maging ang iyong pamilyang pinakamamahal
Hindi nagpayaman o nangurakot sa bayan
Nagpupugay kami sa iyong mga nagawa
Sa pagbubuklod sa bayan, na isang himala
Ang Demokrasyang binawi handog di lang sa iilan
Kundi sa lahat maging sa di pa isinisilang
Ang naging handog ng Pilipino sa mundo
Ay utang naming lahat sa iyo
Mapayapang paraan ng pagbabago
Ang nagtaas sa bawat kalahi ko
Salamat sa lahat mahal kong pangulo
Sa paggising sa himbing na kamalayan ko
Sa pagpapaalala na di dapat sumuko
Na dapat ipaglaban mga karapatan ko
Ngayong kasama ka na ng iyong esposo
Malungkot man, ay maligaya na rin ako
Tiyak na sa langit liligayang kang totoo
Yan ang gantimpala sa lahat ng ginawa mo
Demokrasyang ipinaglaban aming iingatan
Mula sa mga tao na ganid at walang pitagan
Naisin man nilang bawiin handog mong kalayaan
Sa mapayapang paraan kami’y handing lumaban
Sana hindi dito magwakas ang lahat ng ito
Di sana magsebo mga aral na itinuro mo
Manatili nawa sa puso ng bawat Pilipino
Ang mga halimbawang ipinakita mo
Salamat po mahal naming Pangulo
Sa pagmamahal sa bayang nating ito
Pagmamahal na nag-angat sa bawat Pilipino
At umani ng paggalang ng buong mundo
Saludo ako sa iyo President Cory Aquino
Nagpupugay ako maging sa iyong Esposo
Sa di matatawarang pakikibaka para sa bayang ito
Taos pusong pasasalamat tanging alay ko
Pakikiramay naman ang ipinaaabot ko
Sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay na inulila mo
Tunay na masakit ang pagkawala mo
Dalangin ko’y malagpasan nila ang lahat ng ito.

I personally have not met our president Cory, but i was touched by what i heard from her interview by Jessica Soho when she mentioned that she would like to thank the lord for being a Filipino….. that word struck my heart…for so many years(iam 47yrs old) that i have been a christian, i have never thought of thanking the Lord for being a Filipino…. Now,my mind and heart was opened that i am very proud to be a Filipino, no matter what, no matter how hard, i am proud that iam a FILIPINO and this is because of MY PRESIDENT, OUR PRESIDENT, OUR MOTHER, Cory Aquino. We love you and i have promise myself to contribute in anyway to our country.
August 5th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Cory was first a mother to her children, a father and a mother when Ninoy died and then, a mother and a father to the Filipino people. She’s the only President closest to the Filipino people because she is very dignified and yet within our reach. A president we can call TITA.

WE LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR COUNTRY. I know you are at peace. Please continue to pray for our country. Please continue to be with us. Please pray for GMA that the holy spirit may bless her that she steps down not in 2010 but now. We all know that if we let her stay there will be no 2010 election, if there is one, there will be massive cheating.
LETS START a new revolution. Lets continue CORY’s fight. Lets rally again our people and let gloria go. WE dont need you anymore gloria. Please spare our country, MAAWA ka na po.
Bless our country Lord. Bless all Filipino people. Bless Cory

In behalf of all students who had not witnessed what you’ve done to our country, we felt your bravery and pureness not only as a president but also as a mother. Nagpapasalamat po kami dahil kayo ang naging sandigan at imahe ng ating pamahalaan na pilit binabalahura ng mga nakaposisyon. Condolence!!! You may not be the best president yet, but you are The Most Pure and Simple EVER!!!
thank you po!!!

WE LOVE YOU PRESIDENT CORY! We hope your spirit shall live in each and everyone of us. More that we hope that all the virtues and all the good
examples you have shown to us will influence all those in the political arena. No matter how all these common people will love you and yet all those in position are not sincere enough to serve us, everything will be
useless. Please pray for US all. Still even in your death we know you’re
there to do something for our country. SALAMAT naging isa kang FILIPINO!
SALAMAT!!!!

it is worth waiting for her (tita cory) as her coffin pass by along roxas boulevard in front of manila hotel and the statue of sen. ninoy aquino. you are both our inspiration of my family.my father was detained at camp crame together with sen. mitra,and sen. ninoy aquino and he always told us the kindness of sen. ninoy.i also went to edsa during people power days to support tita cory in her fight for democracy. now i still went to this event not just to be a part of philippine history but to thank her personally (in front of her coffin) and ask her to give my gratitude to sen. ninoy in his kindness to my father when he was with him at camp crame.tita cory and tito ninoy you are really the COUPLES FOR CHRIST.you are the best model for filipino couples because you love each other so much.I hope that the filipinos not only appreciate your fight for democracy but they may also realize that you remain faithful with each other hanggang sa kabilang buhay. we love you. pakikumusta na rin po ako sa tatay ko na kasama nyo na rin ngayon. salamat po ulit at paalam. mamimiss po namin kayo.pero mananatili po kayo sa puso ng bawat pilipino.

To the beraved AQUINO FAMILY, we greatfully appreciate President CORY AQUINO, i think hindi na kami makakakita ng President na katulad ni Pres. Cory. Kami dito sa Tandag Surigao del Sur MINDANAO ay lubos na nakikiramay sa lahat ng pamilya na naulila ni Pangulong Cory. Mahal ka namin Pangulong Cory, kahit malayo kami, naramdaman namin ang sakit, pangulila, at panghihinayang na lumisan na ang pinakamagaling na Presindente namin. Mananatili ka sa puso namin Pangulong CORY., CONDOLENCE from PONLAON-BAURE Family.

My 93-year old Grandfather, Felipe A. Fernandez, Sr., a U.S. Cavalry during World War II from San Francisco, CA. He sent his condolences to Aquino family with this song, with a tune of Military Taps.
This is for Corazon:
So now good night
Peaceful night;
Till the light of the dawn is shining bright.
Do not fear,
God is near;
CORY GOOD NIGHT.
Grandpa.

I remember one line of an article of the late President Corazon Aquino many years ago, regarding in the commemoration of the PEOPLE POWER, and I quote “knowing when to leave is no less important than knowing when to arrive”. It seemed that the structure along the Pasig River is indeed a home that anyone would not want to walk out with. And rightfully this passage may have dropped curtain calls to somebody who aspire trilogy in the palace.
Ninoy died for his country. Cory resurrected his death and more so recuperated the country’s state of coma.
August 6th, 2009 at 2:15 am
DEAR BELOVED PRESIDENT CORAZON AQUINO,maraming salamat po sa pagiging isang mabuti nyong pangulo ng ating bansa. kayo po ang nag bigay ng pag kakaisa ng sambayanang pilipino sa ngayon nangungulila ang sambayanang pilipino dahil kinuha na kayo ng ating poong may kapal.panginoon po naming dios tulongan nyo po ang aming bansang sinilangan sa darating na halalan ng aming bansa. bigyan nyo po kami ng isang mamumuno na karapatdapat sa aming bansa tulad ng aming hinahangaan president CORY AQUINO maraming salamat po ama umaasa po kami na hindi nyo pababayaan ang aming bansa,(OFW FROM KOREA)
August 6th, 2009 at 7:45 am
SALAMAT TITA CORY. GoD is Good in sharing to us Tita Cory. Ngunit meron akong napapansin at HANGGANG NGAYON NAG AAALALA kung kailan ba talaga natin makakamtan ang TUNAY NA KAPAYAPAAN? Sa aking panonood sa t.v parang dama ko mula sa family Aquino MAY MASAMANG LOOB PA RIN..??? Kay Pres Gloria ba? o totoo bang nag papatawad sila TALAGA? sana wish ko lang : MAGING LUBOS NA MAG PA KUMBABA. ILAPIT NATIN LAHAT SA PANGINOON, ano man ang kailangan natin dahil siya ang mag-aayos ng lahat. kasi po PARANG UNFAIR NAMAN SA ATING PANGULONG GLORIA na parang lumalabas sa eksenang , BAD SIYA… remember, ang SALITA AY MAKAPANGYARIHAN… ano man ang sabihin mo ay iba-iba ang magiging kahulugan, depende sa nakikinig at umuunawa…sana kung ang mga sasabihin, lalo na sa telebisyon ay magdudulot lang ng bugso ng damdamin, ng galit, WAG NA LANG PO..LET GOD TAKE OVER… there’s no doubt Tita cory is a good person, she is a special gift from heaven…but GOD IS OUR JUDGE..mas higit nyang alam kung ano ang totoo sa puso natin… My own opinion is: LET US SETTLE OUR HEARTS, CLEAN & PURE. NO MORE BITTERNESS no matter what comes along the way. let us conquer our hearts bitterness, mga sama ng loob , mga tampuritis, tsismitis, lahat pakawalan yan ! at upang mapagtagumpayan ay laging manalangin ng tulong mula sa Holy Spirit na tulungan tayo all the time in all our transactions in life. kasi lagi tayong i tetest kahit sa maliliit and yet nakaka inis na situasyon. SANA MAGSORRY SINA KRIS KAY TITA GLORIA, AT KAY TITA IMELDA… mas pinagpapala ang nagpapakumbaba. eto na talaga ang totoong kapayapaan at meaning ng: TAMA NA , SOBRA NA, PALITAN NA. “palitan na ang ating driver ng puso natin, kundi si JESUS na!” GOD BLESS TO ALL. Lahat tayo ay special kay Jesus, walang favorite.

my heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family of Madame Pres. Cory Aquino.
she was a saviour to the filipino people,a good leader, she restored democracy to the filipino people, loving mother to all.when she lost Ninoy, it was the beggining of a new era of fredom. i say goodbye to Madame Cory, but the legacy remains in our hearts, among the filipino people. my prayers for the rest of your soul.
August 6th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
we will be forever grateful to you madam president. ikaw lang ang may kakayahan sa ating bansa to unite our people. sana nakita mo that even in death you’re still helping our country. so nice to see people na magkakabangayan before but for your sake they become civil with each other. sana each and everyone can find forgiveness in their heart so that our country can be at peace. sana rin hindi gamitin ng mga pulitiko ang death mo for their political ambition. we love you and rest in peace. GOD bless you
August 6th, 2009 at 1:37 pm

a humble tribute…. =)
I am but a flower
You can wish to leave me in your home
Or usher me to the streets
Under the sun, fighting amidst people unknown
I am but a flower
I can swing proudly from your shoulders
Or you can leave me on the graves of my race
And drown in cries of mourners
I am but a flower
I do not break in the unforgiving gale
I offer you my strength
Let generations learn from this tale
And so it is my life
All these, the truth you now know
Indeed, I am no ordinary flower
For my color is yellow….

A Cory’s magic!
Ang pag-gunita sa huling pamamaalam kay Pres.Cory ay talagang nakakatindig balahibo hindi sa takot kundi malaking paghahanga. Talagang mapaluha ka lalo na kung talagang naintindihan mo ang pangyayari at nakasaksi ka sa simula ng kapanahonan mula sa pagkamatay ni Ninoy. Kahit nga batang musmos na walang muwang-muwang ay napaiyak rin.
Talagang nagbalik sa aking ala-ala ang panahon ng dekada 80, sa aking kapanahonan na pagiging inosenteng teen-ager ko pa lang. Sabay naala-ala ang kabataan ko, ang pangyayari noon kay Cory ay bahagi ng kabataan ko, katulad na lang na naging malaking bahagi ng kasaysayan ng Pilipinas.
Isa sa eksena rin na talagang nakababag damdamin ko, nang nakita kong nakiramay sila Imee at Bongbong Marcos. Is this a sign that Marcoses already accept defeat for the majority of Filipinos because they are Filipinos too and humbly accept the wrongdoings of their father? Or just a God’s will that they go there guided by the Holy Spirit so that Cory will be happy to see it and finally laid her to joyful rest?
Napakabuti at masayang tingnan ang magkaaway sa politika ay nagkatagpo at isinamtabi ang kanilang mga pride. Sigurado ako na si dating pangulong Cory ngayon ay nasasayahan sa pangyayari lalo na kung tuluyan na magkabati at wala ng hidwaan. Kung makapagsalita lang ang patay, sasabihin ni Cory na ito na ang pinakamasayang yugto ng kanilang buhay ang nakikita ang mga kaanak nila ay nagkabati at nagkaisa para sa sambayanang Pilipino. Siya na rin ang magsasabi na tigilan na ang sobrang pamulitika, tigilan na ang hidwaan, at magtulungan na lang tayo sa pag-gawa ng tama at nararapat sa kabutihan ng lahat.
Ang sabi ng isang matanda na nainterview sa TV, ang kaibahan ang nadanasan niyang nakipaglibing niya kay Ninoy noon at kay Cory ngayon, noon ay poot at paghihigante ang nanaig, pero ngayon ay pag-ibig na!
Para sa akin ang tunay na Cory’s magic ay pagkaisa ng sambayanang Pilipino at pagbati ng magka-away at tuluyan ng magkaisa sa hangarin na maging matiwasay ang ating bansa at sa ikakabuti ng lahat. Magtulungan na lang tayo sa pag-gawa ng tama at nararapat para sa kabutihan ng lahat ng Pilipino.
Pres.Cory maraming salamat sa magandang ala-ala para sa ibinigay mo sa amin sa natuto kami sa pagpahalaga ng demokrasya at labanan sa nagmamalabis sa kapangyarihan.
BY THE GRACE OF GOD WISHING YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU ARE NOW IN YOUR JOYFUL REST WITH THE LORD JESUS.
August 6th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Thank you President Cory.. We will never forgeet what you did for our country.. You and Ninoy will remain in our hearts forever.. We love you!!
August 6th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
hello!tita cory..sorry..hindi na kadalaw..pero eto lang po mssbe ko..maraming maraming maraming salamat sa inyo..sa mga kabutihan na nagawa nio sa bansa na pwede nming gayahin at ipakita s ibang pilipino..

CORAZON C. AQUINO
Cory! Cory! Cory! Filipinos do love her!
One icon that united our people together.
Razed down decades old dictatorship without a gunshot;
Administered her duty and for herself thinking not.
Zealous in her faithful service toward our country,
Opened her prayerful heart with much piety.
Not even physical death could cause her from our hearts depart.
Cory! Cory! Cory! What integrity she did impart!
About fund that is private or public
Quite clearly impressed even on grandkids
Unveiled as a person whose words matched her deeds
Illustrated a worthy pattern indeed.
Never ambitious for herself,
Outdid many to others help.

PRES.CORAZON AQUINO SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED FOR WHAT SHE DID IN OUR COUNTRY. SHE BROUGHT BACK THE DEMOCRACY.
KAHIT WALA PA AKO NOONG EDSA REVOLUTION, DAMANG DAMA KO PARIN KONG PAANO NYA PINAGLABAN ANG DEMOKRASYA NG PILIPINAS.
SALAMAT PO PRES. CORY!!!
August 7th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
there is no question on President Cory’s sincerity, integrity and devotion to country. the hero that ninoy was, Pres. Cory carried on the torch. but i have some minor comments. she once was a president, and she knew how difficult and lonely it was to be there. when she disagreed with PGMA, i would that she just kept silent. after all, there is definitely no shortage of critics to PGMA. i am no fan of PGMA. one thing i admire about past US presidents is that they do not criticize publicly the sitting president. they had their time; they knew they that when a former president critizes a sitting president, it diminishes the office. it also saddened me that she joined forces with former marcos people in marching against PGMA; unrepentant marcos loyalists at that. lastly, her unswerving stance against charter change is almost like saying that our 1987 constitution is perfect. i think we need to have an open mind on this. don’t get me wrong. i am among those who rallied at ayala during the 80’s. i was at edsa during people power 1. i campaigned and voted for her. she deserved all the outpouring of support shown during her funeral.

I just want to say thank you to Mrs. Aquino for the love of country, for being a mother to your countrymen, for being an example, for still being concerned about our country’s situation, for fighting for our freedom.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
I’m so sad when former Pres. Cory Aquino pass away. I watch the whole coverage of his funeral rights and I can”t help to cry when I look at the activities on TV. I’m so proud of you Madam President, for your bravery and strong determination towards Filipino citizens,

The trademark of Former President Cory Aquino is “simplicity” that would Filipinos want today for our leaders as their example. Always praying for the family. Thank you for the freedom.
