Thank You Tita Cory

MARIA CORAZON COJUANGCO AQUINO
1933-2009

A wife of a Hero Benigno Aquino and the 1st woman president in the Philippines CORY AQUINO died 3:18 am today at the age of 76 because of cardio-respiratory arrest. We all know that for 16-months she is battling against colon cancer.
I dont know much about her coz im just a year older when she became president,
but i know history.
Because of her she stopped the Marcos dictatorship with the help of the whole nation thru edsa revolution, Marcos soldiers brought their guns and tanks, Cory brought rosaries and their prayers.

Maria Corazon Cojuangco Aquino was born on 25 July 1933 in Tarlac, a Daughter of a filipino Chinese businessman owning a sugar plantation. She was 13 when she was sent to the U.S. to continue her education, She returned to Philippines and studied law at Far eastern University then marry Ninoy on 1954 a Journalist also from tarlac. Cory supports her husband's work in Politics from Mayor, Governor and of course Senator.

She's loving wife, a mother of 5 and a faithful believer of God.
She is also loved by the nation because of her truthfulness and commitment to democracy. She is actually an icon of freedom, wearing yellow most of the time, going to churches to pray for the peace in our country and even though we know that she accepted a lot of awards she kept her feet on the ground and she would share the limelight to her husband, to the people who assisted her and of course to God.

I admire her for being a strong woman, gone through all the troubles just to make our country united and under God.


Condolence to the family and also condolence to the whole nation,
for we lost a lot, we lost Cory.
