I listened to the whole thing. This was really nice and to think na I was planning to do one podcast, I can’t top this off! hahaha! I love it when Cory said something like there aren’t gonna be any favors to friends, relatives and political chorvalais. What gives?! Parang tinira pa si Gloria with the designation and/or appointment ni Lani Mercado! Can you imagine?!
I finished it bluep until she said “Paalam…”
Good Morning. I’m glad you like it Kapitana. Actually madami pa ako gusto sana isama kaya lang talaga hahaba sya. Strange ano, it seems that even from the grave she is fighting for democratic change.
OO, Her speech and her interviews are actually antithesis of the woman in the pasig river. Inquirer editorial even tagged her as “Madame Machiavelli” – leading the country amorally. Listening to Cory’s speech would think that no way that the woman is pasig’s speeches could top what she had spoken 2 decades ago.
base!
I did not listen yet. submit muna.
Hehe You have to. If you have a hanky, better have them on hand haha
hindi ko pa napapakinggan din…mamaya na sa bahay na lang. paramdam din muna ako.
Sorry, hindi pala…second pala kay La Capitana.
bloop, ito sinusulat ko ang comment na ito habang nakikinig podcast mo.Hindi pala si Rizal ang bayaning nakatatak sa isip mo kundi Ninoy. Ganda nga ng reflection mo kapatid.
Take note lang.
“Tie a yellow ribbon” song…. sing along!
“I’m coming home!”
“Tie a yellow ribbon on the old oak tree!”
hahaha! puti ang suot… DILAW PALA!
Listen uli…
Interesting…tanong, “What if?”
Song
Wow, kapatid… nilipad mo ako sa kagahapon (nakaraan).
Karangyaan,
simplicity…Cory Aquino, the anti-thesis of Imeldific effect.
Ung concept pala ng Imeldific na para bang dapat beautiful talaga lahat, dahil she hates “KAPANGITAN”.
“Handog ng Pilipino sa Mundo by Jim Paredes”
Justice for one…justice for all…
AMEN
bloop in cooperation with baryosiyete.com
Sa huli may…TAKTALAOOK!
Ang galing!
Hahaha Drbs, you could write another post, maybe the trasncript of the podcast ahahaha. Anyhow thanks for taking time in listening. This is for Cory, A celebration of her life and faith.
@bloop, hindi mo na masabing si dFish lang ang nakikinig sa podcast mo. pero ito lang ang masasabi ko… kung mahaba ang iyong mga sinusulat, aywan ko na lang kung anong haba ng podcast mo. but worth it. salamat sa share.
Haha hindi ano, lima na sila ngayon hahahaha
Ewan ba, hindi na nga ako nagsusulat minsan. Copy paste na lang sa news haha. Nagrereklamo kasi mambabasa ko dun sa OTWOMD haha.
I was trying to shorten it but this was the ultimatum haha yan na yung pinaka maiksi
bloop, kung pinaiksi mo baka kulang kung tinimbang.
I was actually looking for ways to shorten it. But there was none. Tama ka, titimbangin ka ngunit kulang
alam kong kinareer mo ito kaya i’ll listen to it later.
thanks bords!
@Malen especially the last part. get a hanky.
@bloop, nakakahiyang aminin ang hanky lalo na pag ang nakaraan na parang kailan lang at ang kamatayan ng magiting na ginan, pinaghalo mo ba naman nang ganyan, ewan ko na lang. hanky, indeed.
@Darbs, honestly last night, i mean kanina pala at around 2 am after finishing the upload, I told Kapitana that it was hard for me to record this especially the last part. I almost broke down myself. I had to pause and start all over again many times on the very last part because my voice was cracking. I don’t want to sound an emotional brat thats why I kept on starting over and over again till I finally composed myself. I dont know what came over me but I think everytime I say the words “mabuhay po kayong mga pilipino” my voice fails me.
Hanky indeed.
grrrrr! error opening file at ala din pagasa makapasok ako sa bahay mo.
kuya blue pano naman ako?
Hello Toni, Im so sorry, as I said before I dont know the reason why you are unable to access even this podcast outside my blog. I thought after moving out from my old server to my new one you could already access my blog. Im so sorry I had no known way. Ask Tita Cory, maybe she’ll pray for a miracle.
kuya blue lahat ng adjust ginawa ko na pero ayaw talaga.
sayang!
I was so touched on the musical scoring. Yung tiga Pasig wala sa dumi ng kuko sa talampakan ni Pres. Cory pagdating sa simplicity. “I am a president of a 3rd wold country…(di ko memorize masyado ano karugtong)” wala akong nakitang ganun sa mga leaders ng bansa ngayon.
@Maxi – ah yes the part where she says, “I am a president but not of a rich country”
The problem with leaders today is that they thought they are monarchs of this third world country. Once in power, they can toy wit their terms of which the people gave them and limited them. The same term they greedily want to extend. I hope Cory’s death would be as meaningful as that of Ninoy in a sense that these past and current presidents should fear not only the power of the people, but the power of death and destiny which will decide either to place them on the right side or the wrong side of history.
I ask, will they ever experience this same love from the people when they die? hmmm I doubt it.
I absolutely doubt it!
imagine… tinapos ko. wehehheeh. paalam tita cory.
@Buraot wahahaha at nakinig ang lolo mo haha
Pakinggan ko ito maya Bluep.
Okay ate Yami. They your time. Laba ka muna dyan hehe
Parang nalito ako konti.
@Bloop, hawak hawak ko ngayon ay Filipino Times & Asian Review FREE COPY.
Sa Opinyon Section RAZOR’S EDGE: Jose Mari Mercader sa kanyang article MALACANANG:WHAT UNLAWFUL ORDER?
Sinabi nya, I blockquote;
Sino ba ang nakatira sa Malakanyang mga constituents ni Danilo Zuarez?
UPDATE: Palace calls for end to Charter change bid To show respect for Cory Aquino
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20090803-218499/Palace-calls-for-end-to-Charter-change-bid
They should know better since the people is very very emotional and a push for the charter change when the country is mourning, as in grieving severely, would be a political suicide, perhaps maybe, a sudden end for the Arroyo’s reign, months short.
Bakit hindi na lang ARROYO RESIGN?! hahaha!
@Reynz – Haha. I heard from an interview that even on the last days daw ni cory, her stand was firm against the woman of pasig river, turn around to do good or step down. That’s coming from a woman who is on the brink of death. Bravery and Gallantry to the highest level of human comprehension
besides, kelangan pa bang i-explain yan sa Malacanang? especially sa mga anak ni Arroyo? Si Cory ang naglagay uli nang democratic institutions and one of those eh eto ngang Congres then babastusin lang nila ng Con-Ass?
mga walang respeto ang mga Tongressman pati Malacanang, samantalang nakinabang sila lahat ki Cory! Grrr!!!!
Actually in my analysis, si Mikey ang numero uno na proponent nyan. Parang sya ang kating katti na tumagal ang nanay nya sa malacanang. You know why? He is the male version of Kris aquino during the 80′s. It was said that Kris was saddened that her mom’s term would be over and she really wanted to stay in malacanang, sadly cory is not that pompous and selfish.
The only difference is Mikey’s uncharming mom, is as greedy as him. Hindi pa sila namamaytay but I can honestly say that history has already placed them beside Ferdinand Marcos.
Its such a blow on the ego when your mom tried so hard to have a photo op with obama and not even a mainstream media in the US have noticed that you were in town, yet thousands of miles across the pacific, a woman who peacefully died in her bed made it to the frontpage of the new york times, the same time where the woman of the pasig river was struggling to be noticed by the press in the US.
If there is no God, then let these coincidence proclaim that there is.
hindi lang si Mikey, blue! i hope i did not lose that article about one bill na Dato was trying to pass about assembly. di ka na raw pwede mag-rally sa tapat nang bahay nung legislator or pulitiko, in other words, dun ka sa Luneta mag -rally. kundi ba naman ewan
@Reynz,
Arroyo ALIS DIYAN!
***
Hawak hawak ko na rin ngayon ang NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY ASIAN JOURNAL(TM) The Filipino-American Community Newspaper sa Opinion & Features:STREET TALK
Ito ang aking nabasa.
Background: Ito dawng si Macabenta ay dating trabahante ng ABS-CBN noong unang panahon.
Claimed nyang ang homework daw nya ay gumawa ng ANTI-MACAPAGAL SATIRE, entitled Alis Diyan!
sabi pa nya, i blockquote;
Naging sikat daw sa kapanahonan nya.
Ang Alis Diyan
In fact may lyrics pa daw of the theme song
sabi pa ni Greg B. Macabenta
Panalo nga si Marcos.
Pero bumalik uli ang Alis Diyan na panawagan noong 1986 at that time ang Alis Diyan ay para na naman kay Marcos.
@Reynz, kumakapit nga sa patalim at sabi pa ng haka-haka, “ano kayo siniswerti”. narating ko na ang kasulok-sulukan. napagana ko ang aking makinaryang pangbubuwaya. con-ass nga na ayaw nila kayang kaya naipasa. maski MARTIAL LAW PA… sabay sigaw… ANO BAAAA!
@Darbs, I will ask the official card reader and fortune teller of OTWOMD, si Madame Nostra to prophesy for us the lot of Glory and Imeldy hahaha
I just hope this statement is lasting. Baka mamaya pakulo lang nila ito.
@Bloop, you have a point.
Sino nga ba ang magtitiwala.
Sa bruhang walang isang salita
Naumpisahan na nila
Pa chareng muna…
At sa huli babawiing muli…
Proof?
“I will not run for president in 2004!”
2004 came.
At nag “HELLO GARCI!” pa!
Kantahan kaagad ng…
Ako ay sinungaling…
Ako ay singaling…
Sinungaling ay ako…
Kami pala.
Sabay bunot ng kanyang paputok.
Ano ngayon?
Aangal kayo?
Ngayon pa?
Na magkahawak kamay na si bam-bam baby bam?
Sabay tawa ang.. BWAHAHAH
Pre, naiyak ako nung narinig ko ulit yung Handog ng PIlipino sa Mundo. It reminded me of many things..At di pa ako tapos makinig. Live commenting ito LOL!
@Rob – tol same here. It took me at least 5 hours to finish the recording because I had to pause because there are so many instances that I almost broke down. In the middle of my talk, my voice cracks so I have to start all over again so that I wouldnt sound like an emotional fan. That Part of the Handog ng Pilipino sa mundo was goosebump generating.
Alam mo pre, when I started blogging, as much as possible, I tried not to write about politics or how our system back home works, Because it stinks and am not proud of it. But that damn song, that freakin nolgastic song, reminded me of how our freedom was restored.
Sometimes, I ask myself what to do. I guess its time to fight for our freedom again. PInoy style!!!
Brods, ako din naman ganyan dati, sa sobra hopeless na sa bansa naging apathetic na and indifferent. Bahala na kung ano manyari sa bansa. But then again we can do anything for our country in my own little way. Yung pang-aalaska ko sa mga political issues, its my own way of protest. No plackards, no banners, no marching in the streets. Just using my pen and my haughtiness and i tell you, the message is far reaching than the street protest itself.
Gusto ko yung hirit mo pare sa huli — Pinoy style haha. Pinoy kasi creative eh. And I think this is what we need this day, not just empty shouting on the streets. we should defy an administration that threatens the freedom and the constitution with our creative outbursts hahaha
Yep, time to stand again and tell the world that we can clean our own shit. Galing my obra maestrong ito Pre, saludo ako sa iyo.
For Ninoy and Cory Rob, For Ninoy and Cory….
Nice. Congrats Bluep!
Thanks Madame Ajay
, for Ninoy & Cory…
bluep: pinakinggan ko ng buong-buo ang podcast mong ito. u did a great job!
the best talaga si tita cory…wala syang katulad!
Ate Glo, salamat sa pakikinig. Cory is the most loved President of the Philippines. And Guess who is the most hated? hahaha
hahahaha! bad trip kapangalan ko pa ang most-hated Philippine president!
bad trip talaga.
HAHAHAHA!!! Wag kang ma-bad trip, ATE GLOW ka naman eh hahaha
THIS is my 2nd round listening to this one hehehe
hahahaha!!!!
yes ate glow as in glowing
Make or Break
Nyahahaha Ipabendisyon mo pangalan mo at may sapi ang pangalang Gloria haha
Well done Bluep! Well done!
Salamat Chuvaka. Dapat kokontakin kita sa chat at iinterviewhin sana kita dahil panahon mo yung People Power. Kaya lang ginahol ako sa oras
Bluep natapos ko hanggang pagtilaok ng manok. Ang ganda ng project mo nato at maganda rin boses mo in fernez. Tama si Ate Glo(w) parang homily nga sa mass ang dating. Maraming point dun ang nakakatouch, pero napaluha ako everytime na patugtugin ang magkaisa, twice yata ‘yon. Salamat for sharing this.
O ayan, just to make a difference between the most hated Glo, Yami just called you Ate Glo(w) hahahaha!
Cute ba ang Glow?
oo parang go grow ang glow! yung food groups nung elementary tayo.
hehehe. many of my friends actually call me Glow. 
hahaha!!!
and then yung european friends and colleagues naman eh Glor (they can’t pronounce a word na vowel ang last letter. like the word idea, they say idear.)
hahahaha!!!
Glow Gamat? Maganda parang kumikinang at nagliliwanang ang dating haha
Ate Yami thanks for taking time. Its not easy to spare some time especially if its longer than an hour. Thank you for the compliment pero mukhang ako ata ang bingi dahil di ako nagagandahan sa boses ko LOl
Oh.. that magkaisa is a very rare copy. Talagang hinalungkat ko pa yun sa baul maipagtugtog lang ngayon
yung iba naman G-lo-w-r-i-a na very sleng ang accent!
hahahaha!!!!
this podcast changed my view of Cory to a brighter and better light. She is one woman that had the guts to pursue the dream of the collective. Bakit kaya kung patay na ang tao saka natin nakikita ang mabuti nitong ginawa? I pray that even upon her death that we remember a hero who handed democracy out of love for her man and her people.
@Mahalia – thats actually the reason why i did this special episode. Marami kasi itinapon sa kanya na batikos pero never naman sya nagsalita. Ngayon lang lumalabas lahat ang istorya sa likod ng camera. Ewan ng ba kung bakit kelangan pa natin antayin na mamatay ang isang tao para lang masabi lahat ng kabutihan nya. Siguro dahil na rin sa sentimentality ng tao pag nawala ang mga mahal sa buhay. Gusto nila mareretain lang sa ala-ala nila ay yung mabubuti.
Sa case naman ni Cory minus her minute flaws in the presidency and personality wise eh madami talaga syang mabubuting nagawang kabutihan na ngayion lang natin nalalaman
Mahalia, those were beautiful words that you left. Thank you… For Ninoy and Cory…
This must be historic Bluep at the height of the wake…Regardless though, this is a WOW for me…
Kinikilabutan ako lalo sa na sa mga kanta – nakakalungkot talaga. Still in the middle of the podcast. Darbs – you can multitask hehe…
dFish, is that a question or a statement or may iba pang ibing mong sabihon. multiple choice ba? hehehe
Hahaha – it’s d power of suggestion…
I enjoy most especially the replayed speeches. Very principled and a real showdown of democracy. More power to you Bluep and Barrio Siete…
