Maraming Salamat, Tita Cory

Filed Under General | 11 Comments

I woke up today to news that former Philippine President Corazon Aquino has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Having been a strong supporter of her and Ninoy even during the Marcos era, I feel sad at the passing of a great and wise leader.

She and Ninoy were heroes of mine, and are huge personal inspirations. The Filipino is truly worth dying for, and I hope that one day we may prove worthy of it.

Thank you, Tita Cory, for everything.

    The Philippine icon who sparked democracy during the Marcos era will be sorely missed. It’s a good thing that you had such a moment with her, Sir Gerry.
    Condolences to the Aquino family…

    I wholeheartedly agree with you, she and Ninoy were real heroes & inspirations. We never forget them. In heaven, I’m sure she is happy to see Ninoy again. <3

    May malungkot kaya kung sumakabilang buhay ang nakaupo ngayon, pati na ng kanyang mister?

    Ang wish ko, pumasok sana sila sa BILIBID (hindi sa BILIBID VIEJO diyan sa QUIAPO, ha? Doon, sa real McCoy na kasama yung mga BILIBID BOYS) para mapagbayaran nila ang kanilang mga utang sa masang Pilipino na bawa’t sandali ay ginogoyo, ginagawang mga engot at iniinsulto ang mentalidad ng lahat na animo’y sila lang ang may mga pag-iisip.

    Talagang hindi na ako puwedeng manirahan diyan sa Pilipinas. Mamamatay ako nang maaga sa KUNSUMISYON sa mga PAKULO ng mga politikos at mga S.S.B. sa Malacañang na tumatanggap ng honor na hindi naman para sa kanila. Hay, saan ka nakakita na ang award-giving body ay bibigyan ng sariling honor/award/title ang sarili nila?

    Mga HAYOK sa KARANGALAN. Mga karangalang HUNGKAG!

    Hay… onli in da Pilipins. I am just totally disillisioned by everything that’s happening in RP.

    R.I.P. – she had a life of tragedy and triumph. A true inspiration.
