Back in September, she had been suffering from cancer for at least six months, had undergone chemotherapy, and was only making rare public appearances, let alone sit-down interviews. She just didn’t have the strength.
Our public affairs team at the time was producing a special program called Newsmakers, featuring all the living Philippine presidents past and present. Cory Aquino, of course, had to be an integral part of the show. But she was ailing, and our producers had the delicate task of trying to arrange for her to still be part of the show, if it was at all possible.
After her three daughters Ballsy, Pinky and Viel were interviewed together for the show, they promised they would try to convince their mom. Sure enough, Ballsy — the daughter who was also Cory’s right hand during her six years in Malacanang — texted a day later to say her mother had agreed to be interviewed.
According to program manager Ella Evangelista-Martelino, who conceived of the project, the interview was initially set to take place at her office in the Cojuangco Building in Makati, but “Cory decided to see us at Times instead as this might be more convenient for us. How considerate could she be!” Martelino recalls.
(Times refers to the home on Times Street in Quezon City that Cory shared with husband Ninoy and their children.)
In the living room at the family home on Times Street, from left to right, program manager Ella Evangelista - Martelino, Jason Dimbla, and Jessica Soho.
Cory finally sat down on September 3 with Jessica Soho for one of her last full-length interviews. Frail but smiling, and summoning a still-sharp memory, she gave us more than an hour of reminiscence, insights, and just the down-to-earth goodness that endeared her to the nation. None of us dared talk about it at the time, but all those who were at the shoot knew this would be one of their final encounters with her, if not the very last.
“I still have great hopes. Tayong mga Pilipino, sasabihin, ‘Ano ba naman, bakit hindi tayo umangat katulad ng iba nating kalapit bansa?’ Sabi ko, darating at darating din iyon.”
She herself talked almost matter-of-factly about soon joining Ninoy, with the tone of contentment of someone who felt she had already accomplished her life’s mission on earth. Even as she neared death, her calmness served as a lesson for us all.
She was interviewed in the living room within sight of a portrait of her as a young attractive woman by national artist Fernando Amorsolo, a gift from Ninoy early in their marriage.
Alas, our airtime for Newsmakers could only include a few minutes of that conversation with Jessica. But we felt that Cory agreed to speak not just for the show but as a way of leaving some parting words for the nation.
“I realized I have so much to be grateful for.” The paintings in the background are by the former president. She took up painting in her retirement.
In the “A gift from Cory Aquino” video, and in the previous one we uploaded while she was still alive (Cory Aquino: Woman of our time), we chose some of her most revealing soundbites, the ones that moved us most, and the nuggets of wisdom and encouragement that we want future generations to take to heart.
This is one of her farewell gifts to us — to those of us at GMA News and Public Affairs who were fortunate enough to be part of that production… and to the Filipino nation that she loved unconditionally.
Thank you, Tita Cory.
– Howie Severino
From the interview, recalling her campaign against Marcos in early 1986:
Doon sa isang pineapple plantation sa Mindanao, nagsasalita na ako tapos nakita ko, may isang bucket na pinapasa-pasa doon ng mga taong nakikinig sa akin.
Sabi ko, ano kaya ang ginagawa nila? Pero sige pa rin ako doon sa aking talumpati.
Noong natapos ang aking talumpati, umakyat iyong barangay captain, binigyan ako ng isang bilao ng saging at pineapple at nagpasalamat naman ako.
Pagkatapos, mayroong nag-abot sa kaniya nung plastic bucket na nakikita ko, sabi, “Para sa iyo ito.”
Nung tiningnan ko, mga piso, bills at saka coins. Alam mo, parang gusto kong maiyak dahil ang hirap na nila, yet they were giving whatever they had to me.

I hope our legislators will immortalize President Cory Aquino by declaring August 1 as Cory Aquino Day and redesigning the P500 bill to include Cory Aquino.

August 1st, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Tita Cory was the unifying factor in a country left in shambles, like a shepherded who led her sheep to clear waters. She bought back democracy to the people who wanted change and has suffered more than enough and freed them from the chains of martial law.
August 1st, 2009 at 3:16 pm
My condolences to the Aquino Family. Through this comment box, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to them, for sharing their mother, Corazon C. Aquino, to the whole Philippine Nation. Her Faith, as well as her unshakeable optimism has made me look at things in a very positive way. A remarkable inspiration, a democracy icon, Mother of a Nation, a National Treasure…
Thank you, Tita Cory…
August 1st, 2009 at 3:34 pm
we love u tita cory and thank u…..
August 1st, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Nakikiramay kaming mga Pinoy dito sa Oman. Mas naramdaman and pinahahalagahan ko ngayon ang pagiging isang Filipino ko dahil sayo. Thank you President Cory! May your soul rest in peace!
August 1st, 2009 at 4:33 pm
President Cory, You are truly and icon of democracy and I am very proud to be a Filipino. I have always been telling everyone and to all my non-Filipino friends that you are the greatest Filipino woman we ever had. You are very much loved. May you rest in peace!
August 1st, 2009 at 5:46 pm
My deepest sympathy to the bereaved family of the late President Corazon Aquino - my idol. She will surely be missed. Her legacy will always remain in our hearts. May she rest in peace.
We are proud of you Cory! We are proud to be called Filipino because of you!
Requiscat in pace.
August 1st, 2009 at 6:33 pm
The freedom that symbolizes the Filipino is etched on her image and hopefully we continue to LOVE one another just like as what she unwaveringly showed us.
August 1st, 2009 at 7:38 pm
In a nation so stricken with doubts, disbeliefs and distrusts, may Corazon Aquino’s life be an example for all of us to hope always and to work always for a better Philippines…
August 1st, 2009 at 8:06 pm
a true leader and a woman of democracy.we pray u may rest n peace.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Tita Cory thank you for Loving 100% the Filipino people, I hope our next President and Future Political leaders will Love us the way you Loved the Filipino people. May you Rest in Peace with our Creator. Godbless
August 1st, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Cory is a woman for all season and for all reason. Her crucial decision to salvage what was left of the tragedy that befell her family by the callous and premeditated slaying of her husband catapulted her to world’s acclamation of her courage, creating a rippling effect on countries where desecration of human rights and the trampling with impunity the democratic system of freedom and liberty is enthroned supreme. She set the stage, a light brightly shining and beckoning to this day of what every person should be: one man ( woman )with courage makes a majority.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:46 pm
President Cory Aquino, Thank you for restoring our democracy. May you rest in Peace.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:18 pm

August 1st, 2009 at 10:53 pm
I thank Tita Cory for being what she truly meant to each and every Filipino not only in the Philippines but across the globe. She is indeed an icon to all of us. I doff my hat off to the one I call Mother of Philippine Democracy. You make me proud as a Filipino! May a bill be passed honoring her by making August 1 Cory Aquino Day to immortalize her exemplary leadership. To you Tita Cory, my last respect and thank you for being our President….. You, along with Sen. Ninoy, have made an impact to our lives… May you now rest in God’s arms….
August 1st, 2009 at 10:58 pm
She is the most genuine,caring and HONEST President of my time. I am so sad that she left us so early. She will be missed.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:09 pm
To the Aquino Family my condolence and prayers to our ex-president. Allow me to share why I am grateful having Mrs. Cory Aquino as president when I was still in the Philippines. As government employee back 1986, I could still remember and I will never forget the “ONE THOUSAND PESOS” Christmas Bonus for us poor Government Employee granted under her administration.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:32 pm

Tita Cory is an inspiration to all of us - I wish and pray there will be more like her in the Philippine government. Honesty is what the Pilipino leadership lacks.
She will be terribly missed, she is now reunited with Ninoy. May she pray for us and the Philippines, that we may be a great country.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:48 am
She’s my DARNA .. she doesn’t have super powers, but she have a super HEART!
She’s not just a leader but a hero who trapped in a human body .. and I am so thankful to the LORD for sharing with us(Filipino) someone so GREAT and so LOVING.
Thank you for setting us FREE .. thank you for loving the Philippines and the Filipinos so much .. Thank you .. thank you ..
i love you .. WE LOVE YOU !!!
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:09 am
Tita Cory, you have done your part, you have finished your run in this world. You did everything that you could for the betterment of the Filipino people. You have sacrificed more than enough to fulfill your duties as the leader of this country. Take your bow, Tita Cory. We, the Filipino people, are so proud of you.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:47 am

August 2nd, 2009 at 7:28 am
We keep on saying we love Cory. We Cry! saying alot of nice things about her? But are we all willing to make the sacrifice she and her family made for our country? She isn’t just a president, ( president is like gloria! you cant trust a president) Cory is a hero. Gloria can’t make any sacrifices that the Aquino’s did. If we really love Cory we will all make some sacrifices. Let’s continue praying that GOD will bless us even alot of people chooses to cheat on us. Let’s love our country. Lets love each other. Put aside everything. There should’nt be any rich or poor. Lets hold each others hands and cotinue our fight.
My condolence to the Aquino family and to our country.
GOD bless us always.
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:56 am
I was part of the People Power and I’ve always been proud of it telling my children. A lot of memories were reminisced when I saw videos of Tita Cory in the television and I shed tears. Our condolences to the family and to the people who were part of the People Power. RIP, Tita cory.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:54 am
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE PRES CORY, AS YOUR SACRIFICE BECAME A PRECIOUS GIFT TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE YOUR UNSELFISHNESS TAUGHT US TO VALUE THE PRECIOUS GIFT OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY. WHEREEVER YOU ARE NOW MAY YOU FIND PEACE AND YOUR LEGACY WILL CONTINUE IN OUR HEARTS. TO YOUR SACRIFICE AND WONDERFUL DEEDS IT WILL A TASK FOR US FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS GENERATION TO TEACH THE FUTURE LEADERS THE VALUE OF FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY AND SACRIFICE FOR COUNTRY AND FAMILY.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:01 pm
We Will miss you Titacory!
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:07 pm
I remembered tita cory and the people power. I was a part of it, from lawton to luneta to ayala rally, and the edsa revolution. I cried when I heard she’s gone. At least she’s in peace now and the pain is also gone.
Maraming salamat po tita cory! Panalo tayo nung panahon na yun. Salamat po sa mapayapang rebolusyon na pinangunahan nyo… Salamat po sa demokrasya na ibanalik nyo upang maranasan muli ng ating bayan kung pano mabuhay ng malaya. Maraming marami pong salamat… The Filipinos will miss you.. we will miss you…
Condolence to Noynoy and family… Noynoy was my former officemate back in PBSP.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:02 pm
It’s 1am..I’m still in tears and having a hard accepting the fact that the woman I admired most since I was 15, during the Edsa1 is gone. Your inner strength and innate goodness will forever be remembered. Your unwavering faith and unconditional love for our country sets you apart from all the other presidents this country ever had. You were in our thoughts when my family was praying the rosary last evening….and I especially thank God for you and Ninoy…for giving us two wonderful Filipino Heroes that we could look up to and would continue to admire for the rest of our lives.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Dear Madame Corazon Aquino,
Maraming Salamat po Madame sa tunay na demokrasya iyong pinamalas sa ating inang bayan. Ikaw po Madame ang simbulo ng tunay leader ng ating bansa at tunay na inspirasyon sa buong Filipino.
Mahal po namin kayo Madame President.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:56 pm
It is so sad that we have lost a woman named Corazon C. Aquino. Her death is like saying the Philippine democracy died too. No succeeding nor preceding president of this nation has ever done such democratic acts than what thi simple housewife had done. I challenge the current government to be a Cory, or more than a Cory. I challenge you who are sitting in such given positions to do your part and restore the life of this dead nation.
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:12 pm
CORY & THE PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION HAD A SIGNIFICANT PART IN OUR LIVES. MY FORMER GIRLFRIEND & I WERE MEMBERS OF A CAUSE ORIENTED GROUP (FILIPINO DEMOCRATIC STUDENT - FIDES, & KABATAAN PARA SA NASYONALISMO AT DEMOKRASYA - KANDILA) IN 1983 - 1986. WE’VE ATTENDED EVERY RALLIES, DEMONSTRATION AND PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN FOR CORY. WE SAW AND MET HER VERY OFTEN UNTIL THE DICTATOR WAS OUSTED. AFTER THE 4 DAYS VIGIL IN EDSA WE MARCHED TO MALACANAN AND REGAINED OUR VICTORY, THE RESTORATION OF DEMOCRACY. AFTER THAT, MY GIRLFRIEND AND I DECIDED NOT TO GO HOME. INSTEAD WE EXTENDED ANOTHER 4 DAYS IN CAVITE THAT MADE US HUSBAND AND WIFE AND BLESSED WITH EIGHT CHILDREN. OUR CONDOLENCE TO THE AQUNO FAMILY. WE’VE LOST A GREAT LEADER & AN ACUMEN MOTHER THE FILIPINO EVER HAVE.
August 3rd, 2009 at 1:18 am
I have been closely following up the events of our country Philippines as it unfolds and it was only during the presidency of Corazon Aquino that my faith towards our government have been restored. Now that she is gone, my faith to the people in the government who is running the affairs of our country has also died.
To madam Cory, you may rest in peace in your heavenly abode. And to her family, our prayers are with you on this difficult and trying times.
God bless us all and our country Philippines!
August 3rd, 2009 at 1:46 am
Cory Aquino had orphaned the Filipino.
Naulila ni Cory Aquino ang mga Filipino sa buong mundo.
Carry on, Noynoy!
August 3rd, 2009 at 3:32 am
I watched the interview made by Jessica Soho with Mrs. Aquino. During the interview, i can see how true and humble this person is. She said something about her being the Woman of the year, at first you will notice her bragging about it, but ultimately she smiled and said: she won’t make it without GOds help and the Filipino’s help. she returns everything to God who really is the source of everything. She never forgets that its the Filipino people who gave her the priviledge to be a Woman of the year. try making gloria macapagal-arroyo a woman of the year? she will never be thankful for us. The only reason she is thankful because she gets to steal all our money and she has the POWER. GREED thats the reason why she wants to stay in power, plus if she does’nt win she can probably get caught of whatever anomalies she has done in the past.
Anyway its all about Cory. I will pray for you, just as you prayed for our country. Please continue to pray for us Madam President. WE know that you will be with our creator. Now you can talk to him better and i know you will ask him to bless our country. WE love you not just as a president but as a mother of our democracy.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:23 am
HINDI KA NAG-IISA, TITA CORY!!!
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:07 am

August 3rd, 2009 at 10:13 am
Sabi ko nga sa Facebook Account ko kagabi, Kung di Dahil kay Tita Cory walang magrarally sa mga kalsada…ang ibig kong sabihin, Nang dahil sa kanya, naibalik ang demokrasya na sya namang tinatamasa natin lahat sa kasalukyuan. Tuluyan man syang umalis dito sa mundong ibabaw, ang mga nagawa nya ay nakatatak na sa isip at puso ng bawat pilipinong tulad mo at tulad ko. SALAMAT TITA CORY!!!
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:31 am
Truly the Mother of Democracy has done her part for us realized that we can do something for our country. If all of us have common agenda to lift our nation we can do it.
Tita Cory you have engraved in our heart the essence of democracy and the essence of living in the Philippines .
My family pray for you that you may dwell in peace forever and ever.
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:37 am

August 3rd, 2009 at 10:46 am
Her Excellency,President Cory Aquino lived and died with the dignity as an outstanding Filipino Citizen and a Holy Christian. She will FOREVER be an inspiration for government leaders, Filipinos, wives, mothers, christians and ordinary citizens like me. I’m weeping for the loss of an era of truly good and outstanding people like Cory and cardinal Sin. I hope Cory’s death will be a dawn of moral and political transformation in this country.

Madame Cory, I have watched you during GMA7’s Newsmakers documentary special… A very impressive interview. This really touched my heart : “Ako’y nagpapasalamat sa inyong lahat lalong lalo na sa Panginoong Diyos at ginawa Niya akong isang Pilipino.Dahil talagang karangalan ko ‘yun na maging katulad ninyo.” Kaming mga Pilipino ay lubos na nagpapasalamat din sa iyo. Sa totoong pagmamahal na pinamalas mo sa ating bansa… Wala kang katulad… At hindi na nag-iisa “doon” si Sen. Ninoy…
August 3rd, 2009 at 2:14 pm
When Tita Cory died, God cried. He lost a soldier but gained another angel…
August 3rd, 2009 at 2:31 pm
We Filipinos were united once due for the sacrifice you have shown to us
MADAM CORY,and as you have said we need to sacrifice more for the fullfilment of our dreams.But now that you are gone do we still have that
hope?Only Almighty GOD who knows the answer,because the present head of the nation cant sacrifice the way you have done,& show to the people of the PHILIPPINES that there is still HOPE .
We always remember you and pray for you madam Cory until the end!give our best regards to your husband Ninoy my idol GOD BE W/ you always.
August 3rd, 2009 at 2:33 pm

August 3rd, 2009 at 2:48 pm
EDSA 1 spirit is very much alive… the death of Tita Cory is a reminder to us all, that we must love our country. We have only one Philippines and we must do everything in our own little way to make this country a better place to live in.
Tita Cory has already fulfilled her mission for our country, it’s now our turn to also do our share. Now that the election if forthcoming, the qualities of a leaders that Cory had shown to us shall be our guiding post in electing our leaders.
Thank you very much Tita Cory…You taught us to be proud as Filipinos.

Cory is another reason why Filipino is a race to believe in. A race to have faith and indeed a race worth dying for…… Thank you for your legacy, a life of liberty not only to us but to our children as well.
Bravo for a well lived life, a life of achieved purpose and unequalled heroism… It will not be long to find another Cory in this race that you loved so well, because you touched the lives of all Filipinos and you will forever live among us.
August 4th, 2009 at 12:33 am
SALAMAT……..PAALAM
Maraming-maraming salamat,mahal naming ina,
Nang dahil sa’yo, ating bansa nagkaroon ng demokrasya.
Ikaw rin ang dahilan, kung bakit nagkaisa,
Ang sambayanang Pilipino,dito sa ating bansa.
May hihigit pa ba? sa nagawa mo aking ina?
Sa aking palagay, wala na nga wala.
Ulirang ina ka ng iyong pamilya,at ganun din sa ating bansa.
Sa puso ng sambayanang Pilipino, tunay ka at dakila.
Ngayong wala ka na, naulila ang buong bansa,
Nagdadalamhati ang buong kapuluan, mapa bata man o matanda.
Hangad mong kapayapaan, kalayaan at pagkakaisa ng mga Pilipino sa ating bansa.
Sisikapin naming maipagpatuloy, sa ikaluluwalhati mo aming ina.
Buong buhay mo inilaan, sa kapakanan ng iyong sambayanan,
Si Ninoy na iyong kabiyak, pumanaw rin para sa mga Pilipino at sa bayan.
Kalayaan at kapayapaan na inyong inaasam,
Nagawa mo na aming ina, at ngayon sa iyong paglisan muli mong pinatunayan.
Hanggang sa iyong huling hantungan,
Muli mo kaming pinag-isa at pinagsama-sama.
Narito kaming lahat , malaya, ngunit may luha ang mga mata.
Sayang, sana kami’y iyong naririnig at nakikita.
Napakasakit tanggapin, ng iyong pagkawala,
Ngunit wala kaming magagawa, pagka’t ito ang nakatadhana.
Alam kong may magandang plano, ang Panginoon para sa’yo,
Sapagkat alam ng Diyos, ikaw mahal naming ina,may pusong maka-Diyos, maka-tao at maka-bayan.
Saan ka man naroroon, mahal naming ina,
Batid kong ikaw ay masaya, pagkat nakikita mo ang aming pagkakaisa.
Sinimulan mong dmokrasya amin ngayong tinatamasa,
Kami ngayo’y malaya na, kaya maraming-maraming salamat at paalam po MAHAL NAMING INA………

Mrs. President… you have blessed us Pilipinos all over the world. You have restored democracy in our country. You have made me proud once again of my heritage. Thank you for being a part of us, for mothering us during our most troubled moments in history…. now GO to our Father’s home and join the your husband in a place called eternity. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. (AZagala, Virginia, USA, 8/2/09)

Dear Pres. Cory
We thank God for giving you to set a good example to all the Filipinos.
You are the only President who is not corrupt in the Phil. history, humble, simple, prayerful God fearing and prioritize the welfare of the people especially the poor. You have the qualities of a good leader selfless and sacrificial love. A non-corrupt leader is a non-corrupt government. For a selfish person has a corrupt mind and wants to stay in power and you are far beyond that. You had done a great mission indeed and you are the voice of God’s people and the poor. May the heavenly rewards be with you. Pray for us Filipinos you loved unconditionally.

A great President, a great mom, a good follower of God… That’s how I described her to my kids whenever they asked me who is Cory Aquino?…Thank you very much Madame President, for all the sacrifices, for making us all proud Filipinos… For us, you’re still our president in our hearts, in our minds… Thank you for touching our hearts…You are truly an icon of DEMOCRACY! May you rest in peace!

Katotohanan, Kalayaan, Katarungan,..Basta’t Magkaisa Tayong Lahat!
Cory was the president nung ako ay magkamalay na sa mundo. She’s one brave lady who fought for us all. Kaya naiiyak at nalulungkot ako sa pagkawala nya. I hope those congressmen and senators will pass a law declaring one day to observe what she has done for our country.
I also agree to some suggestions to have another bill depicting Cory’s sacrifices for her country.
You’ll always be remembered Madame President!
August 4th, 2009 at 1:07 pm

My condolences for the family of the late Former President Cory Aquino. Just like Cory, I’ve been devoted to Jesus and Mary, because I believe that Mama Mary and Jesus came to take her soul into heaven when she died on the First Saturday, August 01. She’s my inspiration and I inspire her paintings and I drawn it because I have an exhibit since 2003. Cory, I miss you and I Love you, I pray for you…

i’m an overseas worker here in the US and I am proud to be a Filipino! President Cory Aquino made us all proud to be one…..who would forget the glory of our dear country during the EDSA Revolution? Our country was then called the land of the million heroes! It is so saddening that the country of the million heroes, just over two decades later is now one of the most corrupt countries in the world, no thanks to that thief in the Malacanan Palace…..may President Cory’s life be an inspiration to the future presidents of our country….simple, honest and humble….. an inspiration to the present generation that we can again be the land of the million heroes….Thank you President Cory, we promise your ideals and humble ways will be our inspiration in keeping our democracy!

“Ms. Fix-It can fix anything my faith,
My attitude, my everything.
she’s a woman of honor, she’s a woman of grace,
she’s a woman of pride, I can see it in her face.
Whether it’s a broken friendship,
Whether it’s a loss of self-esteem,
A look in her eyes can be a guide,
A guide unto the path of my freedom.
Ms. Fix-It can fix anything,
My faith, my attitude, my everything.
Her atmosphere is filled with imaginable things.
Such a beautiful person inside and out,
So lovely that it makes me want to do the same,
So manipulative in a good way that makes me initiate.
Her walk is invincible,
Her voice is louder than a lion’s roar.
Everything about her is amazing
And I wouldn’t ask for anything more.
Ms. Fix-It can fix anything,
My faith, my attitude, my everything.”
August 5th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
president cory…….
thank you for making the filipinos proud of you
may the god bless you and youre family
REST IN PEACE………………
August 5th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
For me all politicians are the same, they are never true, but when Cory decided to go against Marcos, that was the only time I really got involved.
At that time I, together with my cousins would have followed her to any battle she would have gone to. We found in her a person not tainted by any political muck that envelopes almost all politicians. Alas when she finally emerged victorious we did not do or help her enough to totally succeed in raising up our nation and people. Coup after coup, she had to manuver behind all those political backstabbing and power tripping persons around her. Fortunately for us, she has enough courage nd fortitude to survive all of those. It is just right and befitting that we now pay tribute to the immesurable contribution and sacrifce she has given us. The question now for us filipinos is, are we going to just let things stay the same and wallow in apathy or will we finally wake up and raise ourselves up as a proud race and live up to our supposed potential?
August 5th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Paalam President Cory….Salamat sa iyong mga nagawa para sa kabutihan ng ating bansang Pilipinas.
August 6th, 2009 at 3:14 am
President Cory you become inspiration of my life. I will keep your legacy alive in my being and as long as I live…
Your integrity, honesty, simplicity, humility, your love for country, and love of God — the true character of a leader… you’re so unselfish…
I will miss you…
August 6th, 2009 at 8:44 am
I AM GRATEFUL THAT IN MY LIFETIME, I SAW THE MOST IMPORTANT, IF NOT CRUCIAL EVENTS IN OUR HISTORY. I CAN WRITE TO YOUNGER GENERATIONS OF MY FAMILY THE TRUTH THAT UNFOLDED BEFORE MY EYES ON PHIL. HISTORY CIRCA 1980 - 2010.
THE INTERVIEW DONE BY JESSICA SOHO ON PRES. CORY IN SEPT. 2008 IS WORTH KEEPING FOR POSTERITY. I THANK GMA 7 FOR THIS GEM OF WORK.
ONE THING I LOVE PRES. CORY FOR IS WHEN SHE MADE STATEMENT THAT MAKES US ALL FILIPINOS PROUD OF: SHE WAS THANKFUL THAT GOD MADE HER A FILIPINO!
I TOLD MY ONLY SON, ALJON, THAT THERE IS SOMETHIG SO SPECIAL ABOUT BEING A FILIPINO.. DO NOT LOOK FAR ENOUGH, JUST LOOK AT AND REMEMBER PRES. CORY.
FAREWELL CORY… AS INTIMATE AS I COULD BE, I WANT TO CALL YOU SIMPLY CORY, THE BELOVED…
MY OWN SISTER, JUDY, ALSO PASSED AWAY LAST JULY 16 OF THE SAME ILLNESS, CANCER. I COULD NOT GET OVER HER DEATH THAT HAPPENED SO SOON, BUT WHEN YOU DIED AUG. 1, ONLY THEN DID I REALIZE THAT ONE HAS TO GO BACK TO HER MAKER AND THAT IT HAPPENS FOR A PURPOSE.. BECAUSE OF YOUR DEATH, I ACCEPTED THE SUDDEN DEMISE OF MY BELOVED SISTER, AND COURAGE AND STRENGTH CAME BACK TO MY SYSTEM. MY FAITH IN GOD INCREASED AND BY NO MEANS WILL IT EVER DIMINISH. THANK YOU, CORY. TO MY LIFE, YOU HAVE GIVEN THE MOST THAT IMPACTED ON ME; TO SEE ME THROUGH ROUGH TIMES AHEAD IN THIS WORLD TEEMED WITH STRUGGLES AND SORROW. NOT ONLY DID YOU AFFECT OUR NATION, YOU AFFECTED EVERY SOUL IN THIS BEAUTIFUL GOD-GIVEN COUNTRY OF OURS TO DO OUR SHARE OF FINALLY TRANSFORMING OUR COUNTRY INTO A COUNTRY WORTH LIVNG AND DYING FOR.
August 6th, 2009 at 11:23 am
tita cory,
thank you very much
may you rest in peace..
August 6th, 2009 at 11:25 am
tita cory is one of a kind..
August 7th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
i read the complete transcript of the said interview, and it was inspiring to read about her thoughts & feelings about what she’s gone through (& was going through at that time). how i wish i could adopt the same attitude towards life & God. and how i wish that she will continue to inspire us filipinos. so that struggling through her funeral procession, wearing yellow, displaying ribbons, shedding tears for her are not enough. so that her examples of simplicity, genuine faith, courage, honesty, concern for others will be emulated by us in the government, business, work, community & family. just like w/ Jesus, i think, that will be the true miracle.
i hope the full transcript can be posted again because i’d love to read it again. thanks!

to each and everyone:
isa lang kaming magina na andon sa 1st ppl power sa EDSA.
naglakad kami mula sa sampaloc hanggang edsa,via greenhills sn juan.
namaltos ang mga paa namin. idad ng mga anak ko ay from 18, 16, and 15
that time puro kami babae. actually alternate kami ng namayapa ko ng asawa.
maysakit ang bunso ko noon kaya hindi nakasama yong isa kong anak at sya muna ang nag aalaga. and all the way we are praying na wala sanang masamang mangyari sa EDSA at maring madadali. and in my self i was asking GOD na kung pwede lang na matapos na agad ang kaguluhan. and it iwas so.
alam nyo ba bakit namin ginawang makisali sa EDSA, kasi 1st time kung mag vote sa election. and sya ang 1st president ko. and i want her to sit as the president. from that time on never na akong nag vote. until now.
hindi ko alam kung may ma ivote pa akong tulad nya.
to the aquino family, wala na akong ibang president sa puso ko kundi ang ina nyo. i am inside my heart grieving for herleaving the country, but happy din na tapos na ang paghihirap nya.
i am 62 years old now. and i am telling my grandkids about the 1st. EDSA
revolution cause we were there.
i wanted to thank my 1st president and could be the only one, for her effort and sacrifice for the nation.sana lahat wag kalimutan ang kanyang mga ginawa.
well, GLORIA MACaPAGAL ARROYO, can you do if not equal the deeds she had done? greedy ka naman e why be greedy for honors. thank you
