It’s a sad day for all Filipinos, I’m sure. One of the greatest leaders of our country has passed away. She was former President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino. At 3:18 AM, she died of cardiorespiratory arrest at the Makati Medical Center.
Early last year, she was diagnosed with colon cancer. And in the last weeks, we’ve been barraged with updates from all forms of media regarding her deteriorating health. For a moment there, the whole nation became aware of colon cancer, colonetix, and cancer treatments.
Campaigns for prayers of healing were everywhere. Yellow ribbons are seen in houses and cars. Having the whole Filipino nation pray for someone is a big feat. And it says a lot about that person. I don’t think she’ll ever be forgotten. Along with her hero of a husband Senator Benigno Ninoy Aquino Jr., she’ll always be remembered as that person who ousted a dictator. And if only for that, she’ll always be somebody great.
Condolences to the Aquinos and Cojuangcos. Condolences to us all.

I really don’t think there will be another President Cory Aquino.
