Thank you and Farewell to the Mother of Democracy

As I write this entry, Kris Aquino, daugther of the late Former President Corazon "Cory" Aquino has just finished her message to the Filipino People. There is saddness all over the nation today. Even the heavens is at mourn because it is raining outside and I hope that later the sun would come out and renew the hope of every Filipino people. There are thousands of people in the streets of Metro Manila, Philippines. Especially near the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros were the last mass for the late Tita Cory is about to finish as I write this entry. Yes, it is a national holiday today in the Philippines but it's a day of mourn and saddness. Now that Tita Cory is moving on and going back to Lords kingdom in heaven, I don't know if there will be someone in the future that would be like Tita Cory but what I'm sure that she is one of a kind. An icon, a star that would always shine in the hearts of every Filipino in every Nation. It's not easy to let her go but it's time. This is God's time. I hope the coming generation will somehow to get to know her through books and the faster growing technology of the internet. She will not be forgotten, not at all. She is the one and only mother of democracy and mother of the Filipino people. It's not goodbye, for she will be there up above the heavens looking down to every Filipinos. Another Angel and Mother of all looking through.

As her casket exits the Manila Cathedral, people were clapping and shouting "Cory! Cory! Cory!"



This is how I want to picture her in my mind, forever. Until then Tita Cory...
