adieu to a legend

The nation is in grief over its loss of one great person who epitomizes our nation's democracy, motherhood dedication, bravery and love for country. Corazon Aquino being the widow of Benigno Aquino, Jr. despite her silence and calmness, did not fail to respond to the challenge of the Filipino people to fight for democracy and the whole world had witnessed the most peaceful people power revolution in the world. This may indeed be a time of grief but on the contrary, a better time to celebrate her life. Let's celebrate Tita Cory because it was through her that we have been freed from the shackles of a dictator government.

I received a text message today from my professor at MSU-IIT that states, President Corazon "Tita Cory" Cojuanco Aquino is: "The only person in world history who became president by fate and not by ambition. The only speaker who has the longest standing ovation in U.S. Congress. the only woman who led her people to win a revolution with nothing but faith in God. She is the mother of democracy, the light of our nation and her legacy lives forever."

As our respect for the mother of the Modern Philippine Democracy, our hats off to you Madame! You have fought your best fight; you have won the battle. You are a hero...a legend...you and senator Ninoy have made us feel that Filipinos are worth fighting and dying for. Thank you for the life you lived for the Filipino people. Adieu to you but our love for you, for our country and the democracy you have bravely fought for our nation will always be treasured and kept in our hearts forever and shall be transmitted to the next generation and the generations to come...
