I guess this is one of the saddest day of our country. Today is the last funeral day of our former president who gave us back our freedom and democracy. I'm not really so political but I guess she contributed enough if not much to the Filipino country that she deserved to be praised for the last time. She became a leader way back 1989 or so after the Marcos regimen who put the Philippines under the Martial Law for so many years. There was a People's Power when the Senator Ninoy Aquino, husband of Cory got shot in the airport w/o even having putting a foot down on the Philippine ground. He was exiled to America and when they thought evrything's already fine, they allowed him to come home. But unfortunately, I guess it was a plot, he was shot!
In effect, it led to People's Power that put Cory Aquino to presidency. Well, it wasn't a perfect regimen (she was a mere housewife then) but she became a role model. She's the simpliest president we ever had although she came from a very prominent clan, the Cuangco's. She's very soft-spoken yet she's been listened to everytime she speaks and amid the noise. Most importantly, she became the reason why Filipinos are free!
''Salamat at paalam Tita Cory!''
(Thank you and goodbye Aunt Cory)
