I’m not really shocked about the passing of our late President Corazon Aquino. It’s been awhile now since she was diagnosed to have a colon cancer. I know that she will not last that long because of the type and stage of cancer that she had. It’s detected when it’s already about stage 3 or 4 so the survival rate is not that high.

I know that Filipinos would really miss Tita Cory. She’s a legend and a great President. She’s the first woman President of the Philippines and really  was the instrument who brought back democracy to the Philippines. I have cried most of the time, from the announcement of her death up to her burial at the Manila Memorial Park. It’s really a sad moment for the Filipinos and you can see that she’s really a well-loved  woman, not just because she was a president but because she was a humble, gracious, and good woman.

Words could not even describe my feelings when people talked during the eulogy to describe the experiences that they had with the former President. It’s really heart-warming but at the same time joyous occasion for now many people would really appreciate her because of the kind of lifestyle that she had before, during and after her term as a president.

Personally, i would really miss President Cory. She’s such a wonderful person inside and out. I also felt sorry for her children because they lost an amazing and loving mother. Just last night, I saw an episode of SNN, and I saw Kris Aquino’s breakdown when she talked about her mother. Tita Cory is Kris’ pillar and strength, and with the passing of her one great mother, I wonder who would replace her as Kris’ supporter and shoulder to cry on if another trial or problem arises in the near future.
