    sana ung nagawa ni president cory ay laging buhay sa ating lahat, lalo na sa mga namumuno dapat isaisip nila ang kapakanan ng ating bansa. si tita cory hindi gumastos sa pera ng bayan pag di gaanong importante. sana di natin makakalimutan ang ginawa ng mag asawang ninoy at cory aquino sa ating bansa. im proud to be a filipino dahil sa kanila

    thank you,Pres. Cory for leaving my kids with a very positive influence.my daughter prayed more upon learning you were sick and wept when you passed away when she's not the type to cry khit p for our relatives on their passing away.we went to the cathedral to see you and you know what?i told her it's ok if she wanted to cry but there she didn't.she somehow knew she had to be strong like you. and thanks for showing my son how much it means to be good because of the awe he felt when he saw the sea of people coming towards us na maghahatid sa yo as we waited for you at Mla. Memorial.finally naintindihan nya how right i am in telling them not to be like other people na if given the chance ay mandadaya,mangungupit,mag-iinteres sa pag-aari ng iba.we don't eat even a dishonest peso at home;rule ko yon.ksi s bawat nakaw,dayang piso n kinakain mo unti-unti sumasama ang ugali mo.and now that election time is coming up computerized daw,oo-clean siguro.but honest?alam nyo ba na andami ng naghihintay na ipagbili ang mga boto nila?watch over us,Pres. Cory dahil ang hirap lumaban ng nag-iisa sa isang community na wlang prinsipyo ang mga tao tulad ng lugar na tinitirhan ko....

    Mrs. Cory Aquino,

    Thank you for everyting you did for our country. I
    may no longer a citizen of the Philippines but I
    will always remain as Filipino in my heart and in my soul. What you did for our country was one in
    a million in the history of the whole world. You did not only give us the democracy that we have now but you also give us the whole world that everyting is possible with GOD. Rest in peace together with you loving Ninoy.
    Thank you very much once again.

  • joli Aug 06 2009 @ 05:41pm Report Abuse
    i no longer have to remark on how she helped restore democracy. everyone else has spoken about that.

    ultimately, what struck me most about her is that she was able to show Filipinos & the rest of the world THAT WOMEN ARE CAPABLE OF GREATNESS.

    and that it is possible to be both STRONG YET WARM and AUTHORITATIVE YET HUMBLE.

    Watching in my home, I find myself in tears at the death of Tita Cory. Isa ako sa nagdasal na gumaling si Tita Cory at magkaroon ng himala upang makita ng mga tao ang himala...at natanong ko sa aking sarili na bakit sya pa!? Everytime na nakikita ko ang mga anak nila na umiiyak naiiyak din ako. Nasasabi ko sa aking sarili na kung mayaman lang ako cguro pumunta na ako dyan para makakita man lang ang ang ating pinakamamahal nating pangulo. Na ala-ala ko ng may revolution sa edsa nandoon ako na naka witness sa people power although that time under age pa ako. Pero sa nakita ko ngayon na numbalik sa aking ala-ala ang people power noon. Farewell Corazon Aquino..

    My dad passed away from cancer four years ago. Apart from my mom...he was truly head over heels over one other woman...CORY AQUINO. She completely enchanted him and she could do no wrong. They formed their own 'mutual admiration society'. She called him the Saint and he called her The Lady ...or in more informal moments Nanay Cory.

    Nanay Cory, say hello to The Saint for me.

    You are an epitome of a woman in its real sense! You really are Tita Cory, our beloved Madame President! Lucky your children for having a great mother like you who deserves to be called the Mother behind their lives and more so the Philippines, because you excelled beyond the expectations of many. We are very proud of you Tita Cory, your legacy will live on and on because you emulated them. May you rest in peace because our God Father is with you and so does our Blessed Mother. We love you and will never forget you!

    to our dearest tita Cory,

    You have been a very good example as a leader
    to all the filipinos because you are not afraid to face the reality for you know the truth and that the source of truth is GOD.

    Personally, thank you very much tita cory for
    being courageous enough to restore freedom in our country amidst the many things that you do not know about politics but because of your love to our country and fellowmen, your YES meant HOPE to all of us. Tita cory you are like Mama Mary when she said YES without any doubts and hesitations to angel Gabriel to be the mother of the messiah. Like Her, you said YES to us the Filipino people
    when we requested you to run against the powerful Marcos at that time even if your detractors do not believe in you because of no knowledge in politics but your shield against them is the LOVE of GOD which made them leave their positions peacefully.

    I am now so happy that you are in God\\\'s hands already because the more you will guide us to continue what you\\\'ve started in our country.

    We hope to emulate what you did for our country.

    To you tita cory, thank you very much for loving
    and sharing your life to us...

    Prayer for a happy death
    By Corazon C. Aquino
    Philippine Daily Inquirer
    First Posted 03:41:00 07/10/2009

    Almighty God, most merciful Father
    You alone know the time
    You alone know the hour
    You alone know the moment
    When I shall breathe my last.

    So, remind me each day,
    most loving Father
    To be the best that I can be.
    To be humble, to be kind,
    To be patient, to be true.
    To embrace what is good,
    To reject what is evil,
    To adore only You.

    When the final moment does come
    Let not my loved ones grieve for long.
    Let them comfort each other
    And let them know
    how much happiness
    They brought into my life.
    Let them pray for me,
    As I will continue to pray for them,
    Hoping that they will always pray
    for each other.

    Let them know that they made possible
    Whatever good I offered to our world.
    And let them realize that our separation
    Is just for a short while
    As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.

    Our Father in heaven,
    You alone are my hope.
    You alone are my salvation.
    Thank you for your unconditional love, Amen.

    In an interview former President Cory Aquino said that she is thankful to the Lord for making her a Filipino. Ako naman ay nagpapasalamat na sa aking pagiging Pilipino ay naranasan ko ang magkaroon ng pinuno na kagaya ni Cory. Mananatili kang inspirasyon sa akin bilang isang ulirang asawa, ina at Pilipino.
