10 questions that boggled our minds during the Cory coverage

Published: Aug 6, 2009 - 8:32pm

From citizen journalists and their FaceBook-uploaded photos to TV stations with their 24/7 coverage and live streaming on their websites, there was a lot to see and know in just the few days since former president Cory Aquino died on August 1.

With cameras aimed from every angle, we (and most anyone on Facebook, it seems) scratched our heads over matters such as: Why was the South Luzon Expressway closed even though the procession didn't pass there? Why was there a Dora the Explorer balloon near the flatbed truck carrying Cory's coffin? What are the teenagers who asked why people were signing L for loser, learning in school? What will Baby James be called when he grows up? Why did our poor flag look so flimsy when it was being folded at Manila Memorial?

Here are 10 more questions that kept us awake last night:

1. The four honor guards who accompanied Cory Aquino's cortege

Army Pfc. Antonio Cadiente, Airman Second Class Gener Laguindan, Navy Petty Officer 3 Edgardo Rodriguez and Police Officer 1 Danilo Maalab stood on a moving flatbed truck under the rain for eight straight hours without sitting, eating or relieving themselves.

The question: How did you hold it all in (hunger, fatigue, your urge to pee)? What sort of training did that take?

2. James Yap

The basketball player and husband of Kris Aquino is known for not having a very expressive face or body language, more so during the last few days he was caught on camera.

The question: As she bawled her eyes out in heart-wrenching sobs, how come you didn't hug your wife or even hold her hand?

    To the Filipino people

    "Give thanks to the Lord almighty, because he is good and his love is eternal."

    From Joseph, a servant of Christ Jesus
    " I can say only what the Lord tells me to say"


    The Lord says, I am the Lord your savior, I am the one who created you. I am the Lord, the creator of all things. I alone stretched out the heavens when I made the earth, no one helped me. I make fools of fortunetellers and frustrate the predictions of astrologers. The words of the wise I refute and show that their wisdom is foolishness. but when my servant makes a prediction, when I send a messenger to reveal my plans, I make those plans and prediction come true.


    Come, Benigno "noynoy" C. Aquino son of the late Benigno "ninoy" Aquino and Corazon "cory" Aquino, Listen to what I have to say.

    God is not like a man, who lie, He is not a human who changes his mind. Whatever he promises, he does; I have been instructed to bless, and when God blesses, I cannot call it back.

    Benigno "noynoy" the Lord has chosen you to be the next President of the Republic of the Philippines. The Lord anoints you as the next ruler of his people and to protect them from all their enemies:

    To Benigno "noynoy" the Lord says, I myself will prepare your way, leveling mountains and hills. I will breakdown bronze gates and smash their iron bars. I will give you treasure from dark secret places. Then you will know that I am the Lord and that God has called you by name. I appoint you to help the people. I have given you great honor, although you do not know me.

    I am the Lord: there is no other god. i will give you the strength you need, although you do not know me. I do this so that everyone from one end of the world to the other may know that I am the LORD and that there is no other god, says the Lord.

    God purposely chose you Benigno "noynoy", whom the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful and wise. God chose you, what the world looks down and despises and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world think is important. This means that no one can boast in God's presence. So, then, the scripture says, "Whoever wants to boast must boast of what the Lord has done. No one, then, should boast about what men can do.

    Benigno "noynoy", you should think now as Christ servant who have been put in charge of his people. The one thing required of such a servant is that he be faithful to his MASTER, Jesus Christ.

    Live a life that measures up to the standard God set when he called you. Be always humble, gentle, and patient. show your love by being tolerant to one another. Do your best to preserve the unity which the spirit gives by means of the peace that binds you together. There is one body and one spirit, just as there is one hope to which God has called you. There is one Lord, one faith; there is one God and Father of all mankind, who is Lord of all, works through all, and is in all.

    Finally, To Benigno "noynoy" and to all the Filipino People. I want is this: the Lord says, remove the chains of oppression and the yoke of injustice, and let the oppressed go free. Share your food with the hungry and open your home to the homeless poor. Give clothes to those who have nothing to wear, and do not refuse to help your own relatives.

    Then my favor will shine on you like morning sun, and your wounds will be quickly healed. I will always be with you yo save you, my presence will protect you on every side. When you pray, I will answer you when you call to me, I will respond.

    If you put an end to oppression, to every gesture of contempt, and to every evil word; If you give food to the hungry and satisfy those who are in need, then the darkness around you will turn to the brightness of noon. And I will always guide you and satisfy you with good things. I will keep you strong and well. You will be like a garden that has plenty of water, like a spring of water that never goes dry. Your people will rebuild what has long been in ruins, building again on the old foundations. You will be known as the people who rebuilt the walls, who restored the ruined houses.

    Let us then always offer to God as our sacrifice through Jesus, which the offering presented by lips that confess him as LORD. Do not forget to do good and help one another, because these are the sacrifices that please God.

    on the Number 10 question: He did not push Pres. Horta! It is different if you were there in person. Before posting anything, better get your facts straight. Pres. Horta informed DFA protocol that he would not be attending mass but will be attending the burial. I believe the VP will not do that..this is just plain black propaganda by those supporting other presidential bets. BOO HOO to you! You cannot put a good man down!!

    ...what a convoluted statement!...

    Arroyo was not invited by Obama nor was she appointed to represent Asia...

    If your conscience tells you that Arroyo has done wonders for this country, then maybe you have lost your conscience while looking at your own mirror and saw Arroyo's face...

    ...correction:

    ...what a shameless convoluted statement!...

    9. Gabby Lopez

    The chairman of TV station ABS-CBN was spotted holding a young woman’s hand during the wake. Clue: It wasn’t his estranged wife Panjee Gonzales.

    ANSWER:

    From what I've heard she's Karen Coloma. She also works for ABS-CBN (Head for Licensing). Isn't his marriage with Panjee was already annulled?

    - i don't think na klngang hawakan ni james ang kamay ni kris or i-hug sia in front of the camera just to let the people show he cares. not all people are born showy. and besides, we don't know kng how much support nman ang pinakikita nia sa asawa off-cam.

    - si noynoy nman usually nkabuka ang bibig nia during emotional speeches to keep his tears from falling or to keep him from breaking down in tears.. minsan may mga ganung lalaki tlga..ngpipigil ng emotions but still it shows in their faces...

    7. Piolo was requested to sing because he is a favorite of the aquino sisters. who's to say erik, sarah, et al are not world-class? given the same exposure and opportunities as lea, no disrespect to her, they'd probably succeed as well and get the same recognition and response from crowds the world over

    8. lighting and shots in the cathedral are reminiscent of funeral coverage in the UK, especially that of Diana

    1. "flimsy" flag: kung ikaw ba naman ang watawat na nakadisplay nang 24/7 for five days, through the rains, wind, sun, atbp- wouldn't you be flimsy at the end of the day as well?

    2. kris wore the same set of earrings sa buzz interview nung sunday, sa requiem mass, etc. she wasn't showing off to the bbc crowd

    3. balsy was interviewed several times as well by ces drilon, jessica soho, and a cohort of media people intermittently during the wake. but since she isn't the tv/movie person kris is, media naturally gravitated to the latter.

    4. james was carrying their son kaya kris held on to boy from the coaster

    5. the afp was giving full MILITARY honors, kaya mga heneral at pulis ang naka-pronta sa pagbuhat kay cory. they are her LOYAL guards, past PSG personnel, kaya sila ang humingi at nabigyan ng honor to carry her body. it was NOT a state funeral, ergo they were NOT supposed to give her military honors, but they did, because of love and respect for a former commander in chief. they're not so snappy because they're not so young anymore

    6. IMHO, tony velasquez made anc's coverage more human and less robotic with his quick wit and well-meaning banter

    why was piolo pascual, erik santos and sarah geronimo included in the lineup of singers? kala ko ba world-class lang dapat? lalo tuloy na-distinguish sila when lea sang.

    why was cory's coffin carried by police generals out of the manila cathedral and by military generals at the manila memorial? was this an act of atonement by the two armed services which tormented cory during her time? even so, it was a disconcerting sight to see. they didn't deserve that privilege.

    why were the police generals not snappy enough while they acted as pallbearers? hindi pa makuhang magsabay-sabay sa pag-salute at nangapa pa kung pano magfold ng flag.

    bakit laging nakabuka ang bibig ni noynoy while kris was making her speech?

    Noynoy said during an interview that he wasn't brought up bastos, which is why he sat beside her to small-talk with her in Manila Cathedral when she dropped by immediately after she flew in. No one else from the family was around, as it was early morning, that's why he basically had no choice but to entertain her. She stayed for only ten minutes, and heck, even if she seems like the devil to everyone, as president of the country, it's only right that she pay her respects to another president.

    Why was the Cathedral lit beautifully? Who did the lighting design? In fairness, maganda.

    Whose idea was placing those high-tech, ceiling-mounted, joy-stick operated TV cameras in the cathedral? I hope the vaulted ceiling of the cathedral wasn't damaged.

    Who directed the Manila Cathedral segment? I must say, it was very sleek.

    Tony Velasquez was ill prepared, he didn't do his homework; he fills the impending dead air with nervous laughter and inane comments. he had no idea what he was talking about; he was always talking on the top of his head, which he punctuated with inappropriate comments bordering on bad taste. The day was saved by Manolo Quezon, by pointing out the word "cortege" to Ricky Carandang and Velasques. Twink Macaraeg, being a senior broadcaster was patronizing towards Manolo, thanking him for his "educational" insights.

    Why did NBN channel 4 took over the feed on ANC during the most crucial part of the funeral? I got the surprise of my life when I saw Tony Abando on ANC, thinking there was another coup.

    Is that Noynoy beside Pres. Arroyo?

    If it is, then what I want to know is why sit beside her after announcing to the whole world that she wasn't even welcome?

    Another thing is, why welcome a family who, in all likelihood, could have had your father killed? Oh yeah, and Imelda wasn't there yeah?
