I am not one of the Aquinos… not a family friend nor related in any way to them but I felt sad when I heard that our former President, icon of democracy, Corazon Cojuangco Aquino died due to Cardio Respiratory Arrest.
Cory gained her popularity when she lead us, Filipinos, to fight for the dictator government of Marcos. She stood up in Edsa Shrine and willfully accepted a responsibility she never thought of having and guided us in a way a very protected mother guides her children. We may not be from her own blood but she treated her fellowmen in every most possible and courageous way.
President Aquino belongs to one of the most affluent and rich family in the Philippines but she stayed simple and approachable. In all her videos and documentaries, I have never seen Mrs. Aquino to boast of her wealth and power. She became the most powerful woman but she never use her power in some way that would harm her people. But instead, she built a government that will rule by not just herself and her interest but by the constitution of the people. She gave us the greatest gifts that any nation would like to achieved: People Power and Moral Leadership.
In the past few weeks of July, Cory has been all over the news as her Colon Cancer is getting worst. After few days, special messages, yellow ribbons, and pictures of the great president is scattered all over town. This just proves that she is a President loved by the people.
To you Madame President, Icon of Democracy, Corazon Aquino, your legacy will never be forgotten.
