I’m sure, it was Jepoy who texted me. “R.I.P. Corazon Aquino”. I was in the middle of a meeting. I knew exactly how I felt. I knew this was coming. But it felt like I lost a mother, because this was exactly the feeling when I received the news when my mother passed away several years ago. I’m praying for Cory. But I don’t know if I could thank her enough for what she has given us. Rest in peace, President Cory Aquino.


“Former President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino has passed away. She was 76. Her son Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III confirmed that she died of cardio respiratory arrest at exactly 3:18 a.m. Saturday at the Makati Medical Center. Mrs. Aquino has been diagnosed with colon cancer early in 2008 and has been confined at the Makati Medical Center for more than a month. Mrs. Aquino, widow of Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., will be remembered as an icon of democracy, having led a military-backed popular revolt in 1986 that ousted a dictator who ruled the country for 20 years.”
