PRES. CORAZON AQUINO: Philippines' mother of democracy....

Very nice blog I would say. I was in my teens when this things happened. During the snap elections I was still unable to vote back then but I was very much well aware of what was happening. I have seen during the presidential campaign and the election itself. I also witness the People Power though I wasn't able to attend because we were in the province back then. So we all depended on hearing the news on Radio back then as our TV is not live back then. All were broadcast on delayed telecast so news is much faster on Radios back then. At first I would say I was confused back then. Fear that the change of administration would trigger more trouble but it did not happen. I guess the fear that the government would collapse if the Marcoses were not in power was just false rumors. But still despite that I still hear many stories from testimonies from his people that I still do not know and I am glad to hear those stories right now. It gave me the opportunity to know her more even though she has passed away already.

I am not a fan of her before but I do appreciate her simplicity, great faith and her love and concern for the filipino people. The more admiration I felt seeing the filipino people paying their last respect, showing their love and gratitude for her greatness.

I wasn't born when she elected as our president but through my parents i found out all the sacrifices she did in our country. As a filipino and a woman who owed our democracy to our beloved president i did some tribute to her by posting something about her and her accomplishment in our country on my blog.

Yes, I also made a small tribute and salute to her greatness as a leader and as an icon of democracy. I made the post the day she passed away, and the title is Cory Aquino: Thank you and Farewell Madam President and here is the link - http://fatherblogger.com/2009/08/01/cory-aquino-thank-you-and-farewell-madam-president/ Now, she made us proud again to be a Filipino.
