1 August 2009 – 10:00 AM – Just woke up - Opened my facebook account on my iphone – read Cory Aquino dead at 3:20 AM. It took me a while to fathom the fact that our beloved former president is gone. She was sick and bedridden for quite some time but it didn’t really occur to me that she would die. The images that run in my head whenever people speak of “People Power” are yellow objects and Cory Aquino. I may have not experienced the first Philippine People Power Revolution from the horse’s mouth, since I was only 5 that time, but the outcome and consequences of the said revolution are so perceptible even up to this moment. Cory Aquino was always at the forefront, weak and delicate as she was, in every mass demonstration and/or protests. Sometimes, I would mutter to myself when Cory was still alive – “Why would Cory still exhaust her energy in joining mass protests considering that she is already rich and can have a very good life?” If I was in her position, I would rather live luxuriously than go out to the streets together with priests, nuns, students, politicians and the poor masses and fight hand in hand for democracy. She could have everything she wanted but she chose to do battle for the good of the country. Now, I know better.
Cory Aquino, for me, was the epitome of a loving and caring mother. I may have not met her but watching and hearing her speak on TV, I can surmise that she was a person of good character. I have this image of her as a person who never gets mad at anyone. She must be the type of mother who would constantly check if her children were doing fine; who worried if one of her children was wrongfully passed judgment on by some people; who made sure that her children have already eaten; and who would constantly protect her whole family from harm. The Aquinos are not an ordinary family. They are relentlessly under the scrutiny of the watchful and prying eyes of the media. As a mother, it must be difficult to safeguard the welfare of the children under this condition [more so that she was a widow]. She must be a very patient and understanding mother as she always made an allowance for her youngest child who is normally subjected to intrigues in the kind of world she is living. She was the armor and shield of her children in the fight against their foes. She fought them with reason and consideration. I think, she was the kind of mother every child wants to have. Now, I know better.
Cory Aquino was also a woman of faith. Her religiosity was apparent throughout the course of her life. In all honesty, my attitude towards my religion is somewhat doubtful and unpromising maybe because of the reality that I discovered when I was still living in the seminary. I still have faith in God but practicing my faith is what I lack now. I believe in our religion but I, sometimes, don’t believe and trust [and don’t like] in the priests and bishops ministering the Church. I would always say that someday I will go back, that I will go back to my religious ways. I’m waiting for a sign. I think God has given me signs but I have failed to notice them. This time, the sign he has given me is so visible and audible. The sign is everywhere! I can see the sign on TV, newspapers, magazines and internet. The sign is Cory Aquino herself. Her unwavering faith to God truly inspired me to go back. Cory’s devotion to Mama Mary encouraged me to also continue my devotion to her, which was broken off for quite some time now. I would like to be a Marian devotee again. Cory’s unbroken and steady relationship to God has also motivated me to reconnect to him through the power of prayer. Her religious practices stirred the pious and devout person in me and brought back the spark to let the flame burning – the flame of love to God. Now, I know better.
People all around the world have been so expressive in their gratitude to Cory Aquino. This is my way of thanking her. And I really thank her indeed! I thank her for letting me understand and love my country, my mother and my God more than ever. Now I know better.
Salamat Tita Cory!

We Filipinos are lucky to have our beloved Corazon C.Aquino as former president. After the death of her husband Ninoy, in her suffering, God destined her to be our president, to restore democracy and freedom for us all. With humility, she assumed the presidency, not really for power that goes with it, but rather to set an example for all of us that to lead is really to empty ourselves for the common good, for the welfare of all. But she goes beyond being president. She is saint first and foremost assuming the presidency. Her qualities of having the so-called "Cory magic" are but manifestations of the holiness of her life. Her color yellow,is not accidental, but maybe divinely inspired, with the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of EDSA. God allowed her to suffer more pain, dying of colon cancer, because there is holiness in pain and suffering. She suffered for all of us, emptying herself for the greater glory of God, so that we the Filipino people and the rest of the world,would be able to gradually reflect on this to see the light. Perhaps, it was too much for her to suffer if only for herself, but just like any daughter-saint of God, she went through it with great faith and love for others. Her sufferings did not separate her but rather move her closer to God.In like manner, the first woman Doctor of the Church, Sta. Teresa de Avila, of the Carmelite Order, suffering from arthritis and cold had time to reflect on her sufferings and jokingly told God, "that is why you have few friends because that is how you treat your friends, you allow them to suffer". Dear saintly Corazon, allow us to call you as Mother of democracy for our country and Mother to all the Filipinos. Teach us humble service with simplicity and genuine love and concern for the welfare of the people and the greater community we are in, realizing that everything is meant to glorify God. Teach us to realize that genuine prayer is the weapon that fortifies and strengthens us in our life of service for God, country, fellowmen and family. Amen.
