Thank you, President Corazon Aquino

The president who I admire the most left us at 3:18am of August 01, 2009. Died of cardiopulmonary arrest after complications of Colon Cancer. Such a sad turn of history as the Philippine matriarch passed away and joined her husband Sen. Benigno Aquino.

Many articles and I am sure a lot of footage and documentaries will emerge after the death of Pres. Cory Aquino but one thing I will remember about this president is that she is the one who brought back democracy here in the Philippines. During her 6 year term as the 11th and first woman president of the Republic, there are lots of ups and downs, that is a given, but she is truly the Matriarch of the Philippines, not only was she a president to all of us but also a caring mother.

I am saddened by the fact that she left us early and suffered from her sickness but her state right now is much better than the rest of us struggling with life. I am happy in a way that she is again rejoined with her husband, a great senator, Sen. Benigno Aquino.

Thank you very much Madam President Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco Aquino better known now as Mommy Cory. We Love you... the Philippines loves you.....
