The Passing of Corazon "Cory" Aquino

     Its been four days since the former president died of cancer, thus the entire filipino nation is grieving. The Philippine flags all over the world is at half mast and the international community especially the pope and leaders of different country's offered their condolence and prayers. 

    I was born before the people power revolution and too young to even remember what really happened. It was thru school that i learn the history of the people power revolution and how cory unite the filipino people to oust the dictator ferdinand marcos. For that thank you very much.

    As i watched waked thru the TV in the ANC channel, i could see that ordinary people, rich or poor came together to show their respect to president aquino. one could see the owner of metrobank and the vice president shows up to attend the first mass during the wake and while the coffin of president aquino is being transferred from la salle greenhills to manila cathedral you could see fernando zobel de ayala in the streets together with his brother in law and later said he was also with his children line up in the streets with ordinary people. It's nice to see this happen since cory is seen as a person who unite the filipino people, one can hope that even after cory's burial filipino people would find a way to unite whether it's against an abusive person or to help fellow filipino's in need.
