Also a proud Filipino because of Cory Aquino

The passing of former President Corazon Aquino manifested the glory and pride of being a Filipino. One more time, aside from the well-known Senator Benigno Aquino’s assassination and Manny Pacquiao’s victory on the boxing arena, Filipinos showed unity amidst political and economic crisis Philippines has at present.

The thousands of people who followed the last moments of Cory up to her tomb are very loyal, enduring, sacrificial, and loving citizens of the country Cory had fought for during her time. Cory just received the honor she deserved; I’m just not sure if she expected the crowd who witnessed her passing. But definitely, I believed she’s at peace wherever she is right now. Bow:)

“Ako’y nagpapasalamat sa inyong lahat at lalong-lalo na sa Panginoong Diyos, na ginawa niya akong isang Pilipino. Talagang karangalan ko iyon, na maging katulad niyo at maraming salamat sa lahat ng tulong na ibinigay niyo sa akin." – Corazon C. Aquino (1933 – 2009)

This statement really makes me a proud Filipino. Thank you Cory Aquino… Amen! Amen!
