Paalam Tita Cory...


all day i've been watching tv... wanting to go out and join those people who were waiting for the funeral convoy of former Pres. Corazon Aquino. i didn't think that i won't get this affected but i ended up crying (like my mom and cousins) because the eulogy of the people who talked about how good the former President is really touched everybody's heart. i understand why people are so deeply affected with her death, she had been one of the main reasons why the Philippines was able to get out of Marshall Law. She has always been an icon of Philippine Democracy and non-traditional politician. She was more than just a President to our country, she was a Mother to every Filipino. It's just so sad that she had to pass away so early but we all have to accept it because everybody will go through that cycle in life. As Kris Aquino said, she is already with her one and only love former Senator Benigno Aquino Sr. I hope and I pray that she will be with our creator and savior so she can pray for our country, the Philippines. Goodbye and Thanks Tita Cory! we will all miss you...

She's one of the greatest Filipinos. I'm sure she'll always be remembered. I just hope that people will really continue what Cory & Ninoy started. Sana it does not stop after she's buried.
