Madam Tita Cory,
Get well soon! Its not yet your time to go! God has other plans for you and I am confident you will recover and be the light of the Filipinos once again especially these critical times that we need you most!
The greatest Filipino leader that we had so far! The mother of the whole Filipino nation that led us out of dictatorship and moved us forward to democracy!
Its unfortunate that the leaders after her didn’t fulfill the dream of every Filipino… that is to alleviate us from poverty. They only widen the gap of the rich and the poor.
Tita Cory, you will recover from that illness… let this time of sickness of yours as a wake up call for all Filipinos to unite, fight this corrupt administration and become finally a great nation.
We need you….and we love you!
July 7th, 2009 at 4:21 pm

May you overcome this one most greatest challenge of your life..the Filipinos and the entire nation prays for you…

madam president,
i was born on a typical middle class family. at 27 i believe i had have enough..
never thought admiring a revolution, but could never be compelling unless you were the one leading. you are the greatest gift a family, a nation could ever have.
the time is not now. we, as a nation doesn’t know what to do without a motherly president.
however, the pain of leaving is just what jesus christ entrust to us. for he leaves but never left us.
i believe no matter what happens in the next month or so, you will always be in my heart; inspiring.
i love you.
thank you.
July 16th, 2009 at 4:49 pm

President Cory:
You’re one of the only three persons in the whole world that I’m dying to meet… That’s quite impossible now because you’re sick. But if postponing the once-in-a-lifetime chance of finally meeting you in flesh and blood could help prolong your life, I am willing to wait and sacrifice for another five years, or ten years just to tell you that we want you to stay with us longer… Thank you so much for inspiring us Filipinos into not even make us dreaming the highest dreams we can dream about, but in simply trying to be the best that we can be by constantly praying in order for our country to attain the supreme sense of nationhood. I’ve always looked at you as my second mother… from the way you walked, the way you talked, the way you smiled; the way you lived, the way you loved… us. May this outporing of love from your people inspire you in return to continue living and loving even more. I’m praying for you every day. Or until there’s nothing more to pray. Thank you.
July 24th, 2009 at 10:53 am

You’re one of the best Presidents in the world that I’ve ever known. Your courage,strength and patriotism make us all Filipinos around the world proud of our heritage. You are truly an ICON OF DEMOCRACY (no doubt) and a true fighter for freedom.

From a mother to a Mother of the nation is a big leap. Kahit na alam nya na malaking problema ang haharapin nya sa pagiging Ina ng bayan, she still takes the risk for our democracy. Kahit na wala na sya sa office ay lagi sya visible para ma remind sa atin ang tunay na democracia. A woman of courage and prayerful.
Sana ay tuluyang syang Pagalingin ni Lord para maituloy pa rin nya ang kanyang magandang adhikain sa bayan.
God bless you Madame Cory!
July 27th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
I join the family in praying for the quick recovery of who I highly respect as a Leader and who I consider the most transparent president ever, a woman of dignity, a woman of faith, a filipina who has taken back the respect of all the nations to our country, a mother, grandmother, the true mother of the filipino people, a living hero, a patriot, a woman of giving, a woman who would put her self first in line to protect and fight any threat to the democracy she has given back to our country.
May the healing hands of our Devine Lord touch our beloved President Cory Aquino and may he grant her complete healing and recovery.
Madame President, My love and respect for you will always be in my heart. I always see my Mom in you every time I see you.

I remember the day you swore in front of the Filipino people as President, I was there outside Club Filipino with my Mom and my relatives! I was only 12 years old at that time!
I even remembered how I queued the very long line just to see the wake of your husband one late night from Banawe to Sto. Domingo Church.
A “simple housewife” as they branded you before but you became a symbol of peace and unity among Filipinos. You made me very proud to be a Filipino!
But as time went by, things changed, people changed and life had to go on…
We will never know when God will take back the life that He has lent us… And for that we always have to be ready.
Am still praying for a miracle for you Madam President…
You have been a part of my life and you will always be a part of History.
God loves you so much… He will be there with you… Always!
July 28th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Yes, I am Ilocano, kababayan ni Marcos but I admire President Cory Aquino for her leadership before and not for extending for her term and gave another chance for another leader at that time simply by applying what the Constitution said, Mrs. President Aquino, I pray for your continouos healing and believe that through the wounds and bruises of our Lord Jesus Christ you are now healed according to Isaiah 53:5. Try to see this verse in the Holy Bible. I hope that you are still alive for many years to come especially for next year to come. That for 2010 election you are still in the TV asking for a clean and honest election and you will see a transfer of power for the righteous and have a heart for the poor next President, Believe Mam Pres. Cory that you are now healed by our Lord Jesus. I believe that maaabot mo pa ang 100 years of your life. Thank you.

Hope Madam Cory will be ok, Our prayers be with you madam, but please,
To All;
wag naman sana natin masyado isapubliko ang ganitong bagay, let’s not make the people worry so much… it’s good kasi ngkakaisa ang pilipino to pray for madam, pero pano ang mga taong hindi na naasikaso ang Bayan at ang sarili, naapektuhan lang sila masyado dahil sa pagkalungkot ng taong bayan.. dahil sa impluwensiya ng pagsasapubliko ninyo ng kalagayan ng dating pangulo..
thanks

After EDSA, Cory visited Pampanga and delivered a speech, If my memory serves me right that was the time she was adopted as a daughter of Pampanga, I was with my father then, an elementary public school head, I never seen my father cry until the day he listened to Cory (I noticed tears in his eyes then). My late father was a die-hard Corista and I am a die hard fan of my father.
Now I know the feeling, as I am reading the comments above, I can’t help but to shed tears for madame Cory. This is one of the very few times that I become sentimental. I know the feelings of Kris and Noynoy, three years ago, my mother died of leukemia.
I am from Pampanga and I vouched that pampanga is a Cory province, why not Cory is also a Kapampangan by heart. Madame, i am an evangelical christian and you are always in my daily prayers. I believe that prayers make miracles, and should God decides to take you home it is because God wants you to0 see Him face to face.
Love you!!

Thank you Pres. Cory, and may God welcome you in the eternal home.

Leaders have had come & gone both good & bad…but a leader like late Pres. Corazon C. Aquino will be remembered with all her good deeds to our next & young generations.
Our forthcoming national election is in the cloudy state, because we are not certain who will be the right one to lead…it may not be a devil, but certainly it is not an ‘angel’.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:36 pm
A millon thanks madam Cory Aquino, for what you have done to the nation & most espcially to the FILIPINO people.We always remember your good example.
We are proud to be a FILIPINO for what you have shown to the world.

To the family of President Cory Aquino:
My family and I join the entire Filipino nation, orphaned by her motherly and exemplary leadership, in mourning the death of a great Filipino leader, and thanking her for her great love and service to the Filipinos. May God, in His great mercy, take her soul with Him and provide us with another similarly great leader. We will never forget you Tita Cory!
August 1st, 2009 at 10:53 pm
She sought not for fame when she entered the political arena, but for redemption for a country thrust mercilessly into a hellish cauldron of corruption, abject poverty,dictatorship, and hopelessness. Hope springs eternal was her motto, and made the most of what she had-dogged determination, hard work,eloquence, genuine love for her nation and people, and launched a revolution- resulting in the restitution of true freedom and liberty for all. Thanks, Pres. Cory for a life well-lived…for others.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:27 pm
In life and death you have proven to be a great unifier of us Filipinos all over the world. We will always remember that supreme sacrifice you did for all of us when you braved it through to EDSA and be the People’s President that we have always known you will be and have become. And even as we pray for your soul to rest in peace, we shall always envoke your spirit to be with us, as we pass that crucial test again in gaining back that freedom and democracy you brought back to our country come 2010. Even more proud that God has also made me a Filipino!!!
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:22 am
I was in EDSA in 1986 and witnessed the overwhelming support from the Filipino people that placed Mrs. Cory Aquino to power. She was a very gentle, wise and compassionate soul. A pillar of strength.
A true Mother of the Filipino people and democracy!
Our sincere condolences to her family from us here in Canada.
R.I.P. Tita Cory.
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:40 am

August 2nd, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I was once then a young boy during her reign as a President and I remebered her poster hanged on our classroom wall. She was the President whom I have grown without any grievances. I thought that time, maybe I was just unaware. But when time passes by and reality brought to me by knowledge and studies of Philippine governance, I clearly realized that she did her best and she proved those criticizers were wrong. Inspite of being one of her daughter’s fan, I really admire Former President’s way of her upbringing her family. She really a model mother to the Filipino women. Inspite of being busy in her career as a leader, yet she had her time to manage her family and we can see how good and organize her family now.
My Dear President, wherever you may go, I know that God Almighty or Allah will be there to welcome you in His Eternal Kingdom and He will reward you the Everlasting Peace that you dreamed of.
Viva Madam and your legacies will always be in our Hearts, just always look on us and may your Prayers will always be with us. I know that Mama Mary awaits you in Her Temple for your being devoted to Her teachings.

Dear Madam Cory,
We gonna miss you a lot, you’ve been an inspiration to us. We have seen you cared for the nation and cared for your daughter Kris, no wonder how great mother you are. May our LORD grant you the best position beside HIS throne. May you rest in peace… Paalam Madam
August 2nd, 2009 at 6:11 pm
The Philippines lost a great, if not its greatest, leader in Cory Aquino.
Madam Cory, you will always be remembered as a woman of steel and velvet. A strong woman yet a loving mother and grandmother. Understandably so, at first you were a hesitant leader but when you realized God’s call, you took up the reins of government and led the Filipino people using the best of your abilities given by Divine Providence. Against all odds, you did your job as President with aplomb and quiet dignity. You may not be perfect (who is?) but you certainly did not sell your soul to the devil. You might be a person of means but you never failed to treat everybody around you as a fellow human being regardless of their station in life. When your children erred, you did not shun them but you accepted them just as God accepts sinners who return to Him. Indeed, you are a woman of honorable principles and unswerving faith in God. Your faith will see you through. May we always honor your memory and example.
If 2 million Pinoys gathered at Ninoy’s funeral, more should join this time because she is our mother who led us away from the grasp of the dictator-bully. We are proud that we were born Filipinos like her.
Condolence to the Aquino Family — from us in Uganda.
August 2nd, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Our Dear Beloved President Cory,
You were been an inspiration to all of us Filipinos, you are really great person. You are one of the country’s big loss. Our Lord God will be beside you in His throne as you are one of His great children. God will likewise bless your family. May your soul rest in peace. We love you Madam Cory….
God bye…
August 2nd, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Thank you to serve the Filipino people but I would like you to thank as being inspirations to us women to be strong and have a good heart to pray one another as one family and one nation. Your smiles remains to me forever…

Congratulations & GOD Bless!!! MADAM PRESIDENT CORY C. AQUINO
Your emergence to the Nation as the 1st Phil Woman President and so in Asia was the very time i got oriented in Philippine Politics system, wherein you became very inspirational to me as i grow older. Eventually, I joined youth politics as SK-Sangguniang Kabataan Kagawad while at the same time I was a scholar at PLM-Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila taking up Business Administration…Conratulations sa sa’yo mga magagandang alaala na naabutan kopa sa aking kabataan at bahagi na ng ating kasaysayan.
Kailan lang ay nagdaos po kami ng Misa ng Panalangin para sa Maagang paggaling n’yo na ginanap sa Fatima Shrine, Valenzuela City na dinaluhan ng mga empleyado, mga community leaders, mga mag-aaral, kabataan at mga panauhin…isang madamdamin at punong-puno ng pag-asang misa para po sa inyo…napaiyak ako talaga..naalala ko agad ang Nanay ko, kasi para sa akin ay isa kang ina naming lahat…Ina ng Kalayaan ng bawat Pilipino.
Bagamat naganap na ang inyong pagsapit sa ating Dakilang Lumikha ay labis din ang akong nalungkot sapakgat mamimiss ko talaga ang Dakilang Lider ng aking hererasyon, ang pinagkakautangan ko ng aking kalayaan at ng aking mga kapwa Pilipino. Magkagayunman, naniniwala po ako na ang inyong mga naipamanang mabubuting halimbawa ng pagiging isang tunay na lider higit sa lahat ng aming kalayaan tinatamasa namin ngayon -ay walang pasubaling babantayan naming mga nagmamahal sa’yo…kaming mga nagmamahal sa tunay na kalayaan…
Mamimiss ka namin…paalam…Ate, Tita, Madam President Cory C. Aquino

Dearest Corazon C. Aquino,
I am indeed very saddened by your passing away. Thank you for your sacrifices and years of service to the Filipino people. Your leadership by example and moral guidance to us especially in times of need and testing will continue to inspire us and a lasting legacy to us all. You will continue to be part of me and my family (Sheryl, Yobhelle, Hosea, Isaiah). Your fight for freedom and moral regeneration of our nation will never end for we will surely emulate your good acts and example.
To your bereaved family, we will surely pray for you and hope for your continued blessings.
Maraming Salamat, Madame Cory!

Dear Madam Cory,
My snappy salute to you, ma’am.
I don’t know what more can I say..I am deeply sad as i can’t not even see you at the very last time being out of the country. I don’t know how my messages through the internet could even reach your family to let them know how thankful I am for coming to the Filipino lives and fight for our freedom. I could not imagine now that I have two teenagers how life would it be without your courage more than two decades ago. I will keep my kids informed about your heroic acts when I was at their age, and being a true witness to that event. I joined the PNP ten year after to serve the people, but honestly I could not do the same as you did as I was eaten up by the culture and the system. so I decided leave the service in compliance to the last stanza of “pledge of loyalty” and go straight forward. How I wish you were reading my messages in all internet forums..please keep watching our country as get close with the Lord. We will miss you…Again, I am rendering my last and most snappy salute.
Tanghal…na!
August 3rd, 2009 at 1:24 am
I’m a genuine Ilocano, but I praised former Pres. Cory Aquino during her reign as our President. Marami siyang sacripisyo sa bansa natin. Sa panahon niyang presidente, yang mga taong yon, ang daming nangyaring pagsubok sa bansa. Marangal ang kanyang panunungkulan, what admired me most about her was, she was NOT involved for any corruption in our country. I did NOT hear any of these issues during her time. She’s a God-fearing president, and she showed care to the Filipino citizens. BINANTAYAN NIYANG MAIGI ANG KABAN NG MAMAMAYAN. M A Y Y O U R E S T I N P E A C E. YOU’RE DEARLY MISSED.

Thank you Madame President Aquino for serving, leading, inspiring and loving our motherland with great love that no other Filipino leader can match. And to Ninoy, who selflessly dedicated his life for the rebirth of freedom, forever I can assure you that I will be one of the millions of Filipinos across the globe that you had inspired since 1983, who will continue the fight to preserve the torch of our democracy you had fought on.
Tita Cory, our hearts here in Florida USA grieves over your passing, it’s like my own mother had died again. I felt our nation had lost a greatest leader since Independence, but also you taught us to accept selflessly the will of our creator, God the father.
You are an extraordinary leader and a great Filipino our present leaders should emulate on. Goodbye to you Maam and forever your legacy we will kept in our hearts.
Our deepest condolence and symphaty to the Aquino Family and all Freedom loving Filipinos.

Thank you Madame Cory for choosing to lead the Filipino People towards our democracy! You could have opted for a quiet life but chose to continue what the great Ninoy dreamt of.

President Cory Aquino is the EPITOME of DEMOCRACY, the Mother of all Mother, she give her dedication and love unselfishly in our country, from the start up to the end of her breath she still implement the democracy in our country.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:04 pm
News of her death made me backtrack to the People Power Years.. when democracy was restored in the country. Once again, the filipino has become free.. it’s a shame that your heroism was kept for the books, shelved with the past. Our children know little of what you did but for us who walked the streets and joined in your endeavour will not falter on speaking the truth about your priceless contributions to our nation. Your life and deeds will forever remain in our hearts.
In prayer, we May you rest in peace as you join our Creator. .
August 3rd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Tita Cory!
You have touched the lives of the majority if not all of our countrymen. Selflessly, you have chosen to live your life for God and Country. You are a great mother to our nation. You continuously inspire us to love our country and be proud that we are Filipino.
Being an OFW, I sometimes blame and hate the Philippines for making me decide to leave to search for better opportunities in other countries. But when I saw and heard you say the we Filipinos should love our country because it is the only country that we have, I reflected and eliminated my negative perceptions about the Philippines and brought back my love and respect for it.
You are one of the reasons why I continue to be so proud of being a Filipino.
Maraming Salamat Po!

President Corazon Aquino is an example of a true mother, not only for her kids but a mother to all Filipinos. She stand for us. You never let us show that you’ve been hurt because you want us to be strong. You are a true servant of God. A model of a true Leader with God Loving heart. You became a President of the Philippines not only Filipinos vote for you but God gave you that power for us to know that God still the most Powerful. May you continue guide our leaders. I love you very much madam president.

Luha na Hindi Para Kay Presidente Cory
Bakit pa nga ba ako iiyak sa pagkamatay na ito
Ng dating Presidente Corazon Cojuangco Aquino?
Ako ba ay nanglalapastangan? Samantalang siya’y iginagalang?
Narito po ako at pakinggan. Sana’ay maunawaan, malaman ninyo ang dahilan.
Hindi ko iniaalay ang luha ko para sa kanya
Tanong ninyo ay: “Bakit nga ba”?
Hindi ho ba’t sa cancer ay nais na din siyang pagpahingahin?
Isa pa’y sa Diyos Ama, ang pamilya at mananampalataya, siya na’y tinagubilin.
Hindi naman sa wala akong paggalang
Sa paglisan ng Presidenteng lumisan
Wala na akong mahihiling pa sa Pangulong ito
Sa pag-aalay niya sa bayan ng buong pagmamahal, serbisyo, at talino
Kung tutuusin, sa aking pagtunghay
Sa espesyal at katangi-tangi niyang buhay
Kanyang kinatawan para sa Pinoy at Pinay
Ang kagalingan at pag-una sa bayan,tunay siyang dalisay
Napag-alaman ko din naman ang patungkol sa kanyang
Pagiging asawa, ina, at lola na matatag at pambihira
Sa kanyang payak na pamumuhay at paglilingkod nang sinsero
Ang Tita ng Bayan na si Cory dapat ngang hangaan nang totoo
Pero bakit…bakit nga ba hindi ko inaaalay ang luha
Sa isang taong mapagkumbaba at nagpakadakila?
Pagka’t sa tingin ko’y kahit po si Ginang na itong namaalam
Mas nanaisin na ang ating pagtangis ay hindi sa kanya, kundi para sa bayan
Ang mga pumapatak mula sa aking mga mata
Ay dahil, matapos lang ng dalawang dekada
Mga isinakripisyo ni Ninoy at Cory Aquino
Pinababayaan na gumapang at magpabigat muli sa Pilipino
Mga kababayan …kalahing minamahal ko
Ano ang ginagawa natin sa kanilang mga “Tra-Po”?
Naiboboto pa kahit sila’y kapighatian kay Ginang Aquino
Hahayaan na lang ba silang pumunas at dumingis sa karangalan ng lahing Pilipino?
Si Madame Cory nanalangin at kumilos
Na ang “People Power” ay laging matalos
Na upang ang bawat simpleng persona na tulad niya
Ay maging malakas, kapakipakinabang, sa tahanan, lipunan, kahit pa sa politika
Nakalulungkot at masakit sa damdamin
Na makita na si Tita Cory ay alalalahanin
Nito lamang sa kanyang paglisan sa lupa
At makalimutan nang lahat kung sino at ano siya, paglipas ng isang taon o dalawa.
Sa iyo ang luha ko Inang Bayan
Alam ko, kung buhay man ang ating Madame
Kanyang buong buong maiintindihan
Kung ang bayan at hindi ang pagpanaw niya ang aking iniiyakan
O Pilipinas kong minamahal, isang katanungan lang
Ilan pang pamilya at tahanan na tulad ng kay Cory ang kailangang
Magsakripisyo ng katahimikan at payak na pagpapamilya
Para lamang maituwid ang mga liko at mahirapang pang makibaka?
Hindi nga masama na tayo’y manindigan
Na kahit pa personal na layon ay maiwan
Ngunit nakalulungkot at nakauubos luha
Kung ang lusak ay dahil lang sa ang makabayang isip at kilos ay tinatuwa
Pasensya na po kung ang luha ko
Ay hindi para kay Presidente Aquino
Bayang Pilipinas, ialay mo na din ang iyong luha
Hindi dahil tayo’y iniwan ni Cory kundi dahil ang esensya niya’y iniiwan na
Lumuha din ang babaeng Pangulong kaunaunahan
Sa kalagayan ng ating Inang Bayan
Tama na ang pagluha para kay Cory
Tumangis ka para sa ikinalungkot ng dati nating Presidente.

Farewell Philippine rose,
The nation mourns over your death
Your flocks of sheep weep and lament
Because they lose a good shepherd.
Farewell Philippine rose,
Mother of democracy, defender of peace,
champion of rights, guardian of peace,
light of the nation, pillar of strength.
Farewell Philippine rose
Your flowers never whither,
Faith, fairness, honesty,
courtesy, courage and simplicity.
Farewell Philippine rose
Forever you will be in our hearts
Farewell Philippine rose
Farewell and thank you.

my deepest and sincerest condolences to the family of President Cory Aquino,
I may be young when Ninoy was shot, I was barely a year old during that time; and stil young when EDSA1 happened, nearly four years old, but still i grew up as a kid under the presidency of President Cory Aquino.
I admire her not only because she was the president but also because she showed everybody what a true leader should be.
from my family, my condolences.

Our deepest sympathy to Tita Cory’s daughters, son, grandchildren and her extended family members, Filipinos here in Ireland are so deeply saddened by her death.
We know she will be a big lost to our nation. Though she have not done all our expectations during her reign, she will still be remembered as the only President who tried her best to unite our country until to her last breath and even to death, through prayers, like the essence of the Peoples Power revolt who propelled her to presidency.
What a waste, now that she is gone we hope we could (as a people) be again prayerful, conscientious and will still be a God fearing nation as we’ve always been.
As OFW’s, wherever we are prayers is our only refuge, that makes us stand out for whatever predicaments we faced. You are not just an icon Tita Cory, you are an inspiration, thank you…
August 4th, 2009 at 2:10 am
im not politically inclined but i will always be thankful for what you gave for the whole country.every single freedom that we’re enjoying now is the result of your sacrifice.thank you is not enough to express how greatful we all filipino’s having you.we’re sure gonna missed you.we love and care for you.God be with you
August 4th, 2009 at 6:52 am
The greatest statesman and leader since the pre-Martial Law years - the line of which includes Carlos Romulo, Claro Recto and Ramon Magsaysay. We need more leaders like you, Madam President. Your example will certainly shine and inspire young and coming generations.
Maraming Salamat sa iyo.

By: Sonnel 8/5/09
Far from the land of our birth
We thrived on this one land called earth
To be back home our constant dearth
Our fatherland, our countrymen, our mirth
Adopted, yet unwanted.
Paid yet unneeded.
Seen yet unseen.
Here yet keen.
Keen to see the day of our return.
Hoping and weeping, graceful and silent
Struggling,striving and always benevolent.
Sending our dollars like we’ve tons to burn.
Keen to see our nation’s rebirth.
See Happy pinoys with none so poor.
humble leaders with diminished girth.
‘Tis we should see at the end of our tour.
The death of cory increased our sorrow.
Yet we struggle on coz there is still tomorrow.
She was the mother would have not let us leave.
A fellow pinoy who would have wanted us to cleave.
She believed what many of us forsook.
The road she travelled, we did not took.
Yet in the depths of our hearts we are brown.
We knew then and we know now that we can.
That we Pinoys can never be let down.
And we may yet prove that we are her avid fan.
August 5th, 2009 at 1:26 am
I admire your strength, your devotion to our Blessed Mother and the faith in GOD that you have. You are such an inspiration. Your memory will remain in our hearts forever. Please pray for us.
May you rest in peace, Tita Cory…

My Ilocano mother-in-law said she could not recall anything big Cory has done during her term. With all due respect to her (my mother-in-law), I beg to disagree. For somebody to keep the peace and democracy inspite of multiple coup attempts and natural disasters.The people couldn’t ask of anything bigger because Tita Cory has given everything for the Filipino people, her husband,herself, her prayers and finally her death. Nobody else could have lead millions of people to EDSA without magic — The magic that only a humble yet courageous housewife knows. And yet even this magic she shared to the people. Now that’s what I call Cory magic.
Maraming-maraming Salamat at Paalam, Madame Cory!

She Is Now A Rose At The Garden Of Heaven
A Tribute To Cory Aquino
In her time, she lead’s and showed us the light
Guiding us to the path with unselfish heart
Leading us to our freedom with devotion and love
She’s the greatest leader that we ever had
In our darkest moment, we are not alone
She is always with us every step of the way
Like a beacon of light in our journey in life
Like a caring mother to a newborn child
It is now her turn to be cared upon
By angels and saints in paradise
Don’t feel abandoned, for our greatest lost
At the garden of heaven, she is now a rose
God has a purpose in our heartache in life
There are precious lessons in each sorrow and test
Like the freedom we have that we took for granted
It’s the greatest gift from our president
God always knows what is good and best
It is not our lost, but her graceful exit
It’s the end of her path in her journey in life
It’s her time to be cared by angels and saints

Madam Cory,
Maraming salamat sa muling pagpapaalab ng apoy sa aming mga puso. Nakakalungkot, ngunit sadya nga bang kinakailangang dumanak pa ang dugo, o dili kaya’y pumanaw ang isang nilalang upang mahimasmasan ang mga damdaming nilunod na nang suliranin at pag-iimbot? Ito lamang ba ang paraan upang muling magkaisa ang sambayanan? Kailan mawawakasan ang kasamaan sa lipunan at gobyerno? Nasaan kaya ang kasagutan?
Subalit batid kong mga ganitong suliraning moral din ang iyong kinaharap nang iyong tulayin makipot na daan tungo sa tagumpay. Hindi mo alam ang patutunguhan…ngunit patuloy mong sinuong ang hamon. Kung kaya’t ang iyong sa pagyao, bagaman malungkot, nawa’y maging hudyat ng pagbabago sakin at saming mga pilipino. Hindi na ako matatakot. Buhay mo ang aming gabay.
Maraming salamat mahal na pangulo.

Thank You President Cory for your Leadership Legacy!! I wrote a simple poem and I want to dedicate this for you for what you did in our country. I am bless and thankful because I am a Filipino!! We love You!!!
Si Cory bilang Ina
Ni: John Mark Razell M. de Leon
Siya’y simpleng maybahay ng bayaning si Benigno
Butihing ina at kilalang makatao
Madasaling kaibigan at huwarang totoo
Iyan si Maria Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino.
Ilaw ng tahanan ang pagkakakilanlan
Hanggang sa dumating panahong ‘di inaasahan
Kanyang asawa’y ikinulong, pinarusahan’t pinaslang
Bumandera sa EDSA ay nag-iisang pangalan.
“Cory” ang palahaw nitong buong bayan
Sa panahon ng rebolusyon, s’ya ang tagapamagitan
Ibinangon ang bansa sa pinagkalugmukan
Hinarap ang mundo, tunay s’yang hinangaan.
Obligasyon ay iniatang sa sariling kamay
Na sa halip magluksa sa asawang pinatay
Buo n’yang pagkatao’t pamilya’y inialay
Sinuman sa kanya’y wala ng papantay.
Reputasyon ng asawa ay kanyang namana
Pati na ang husay gumalaw sa pulitika
Nalimbag sa aklat; sa mundo’y kinilala
Kasaysayang inukit tumatak na sa madla.
Yapak na inambag sa bansa’y nakaguhit
Tinularan ng iba, pinakaingatang mahigpit
Kapakanan ng mga tao ay laging n’yang sambit
Maski na ang buhay ang gumulong sa pasakit.
Bayan ang nagluklok sa babaeng Pangulo
Tiningala sa Pilipinas pati na sa mundo
Ibong malaya ang kanyang simbulo
Nag-iisa ka Cory na minahal ng Publiko.
Ibinuwis ang lahat, alang-alang sa bayan
Kalayaang minimithi ay tinamasang tuluyan
Dahil sa kanya’y natutong lumaban
Ikaw ang natatanging inspirasyon ng kabataan.
Labis man ang hirap sa kanya ay pumasan
Bansa at pamilya ang sandata’t sandigan
Tapos na ang termino ay patuloy na lumalaban
Ganyan n’ya kamahal ang Perlas ng Silangan.
Ang lahat sa kanya ay nagbibigay pugay
Bilang pagsaludo sa buhay na inialay
Tiwala ng bayan sa kanya’y ibinigay
Hanggang sapitin n’ya sakit na nakamamatay.
Nang maalam ng bayan ang kanyang karamdaman
Tila ba lubak na kay hirap daanan
Pag-iyak ng mundo’y hindi na napigilan
Pati na yellow ribbon bumaha sa lansangan.
Gayong sa kabila ng hirap at pasakit
Kailanma’y ‘di nagtanong sa Diyos ng Bakit?
Pagmamahal kasi sa bayan’y abot hanggang langit
Kahit sariling buhay sa kamatayan’y nakabingit.
Ilang taon nga ba at dekada ang nakalipas
Ng kanyang pakikibaka sa bansang Pilipinas
Kaysarap balikan panahong ipinamalas
Ng pag-ibig sa bayan na tunay at wagas.
Ngayong wala na ang nag-iisang ina
Ina ng bayang kanyang sinisinta
Di namin lilimutin iyong mga ala-ala
Ikaw ang ugat nitong ating demokrasya.
Aming pagpapatuloy ang inyong sinimulan
Salamat Pangulo sa inyong kabayanihan
Sa pagiging ina at haligi ng bayan
Paalam sa inyo, mahal naming kababayan.
