Farewell President Cory.

Tita Cory is indeed an icon of democracy. I do still remember my childhood days when she struggled with the Filipino people to free our country from dictatorship. When she came here in Ipil, my elder brother had an unforgettable experience with her. While the people were surrounding her, she threw her yellow garland, which was caught by my bro. I could recall her words to him that was told to me by my bro: "Iyo na 'yan boy!".

This morning at 3:18, she passed away. May she now rest in peace with Ninoy, as her legacy of freedom linger forever in the hearts of true Filipinos.
