As I blog right now, the mass dedicated to Cory Aquino is being conducted. Kris Aquino has just finished her speech about her great mother, and I want to dedicate this post to Mrs. Aquino and her brave husband, Ninoy.

Twenty-Three years ago, Two Million Filipinos converged in Quezon City, EDSA area to overthrow Marcos' Regime. It took three days of mass support at that area to achieve. Jaime Cardinal Sin and Cory Aquino were there to lead the Filipinos despite having threats to get shot and killed by the marines.
What I have realized in a short statement:
Even though I had not lived to see Cory at her peak in time, I have come to realize that I should be at my best with peace and with other people. It's not much but it has inspired me. Inspired me to do better as a person with the few days I have on this earth. Love for country, for justice, for people. The applause she received twenty three years ago still rocks our ears and the hollows of Manila Cathedral
We will miss you Cory. Truly. Salamat.
