JE # 146 – Paalam, Cory

Today, the whole nation mourns for the lost a great leader – the democracy icon, former President Corazon Aquino.  No other President who has a loving heart for the country.

Thank you for your contributions. Thank you for the love of this country. Thank you for standing up for democracy.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview of Jessica Soho to the former President:

JS: Ma’am palagay niyo, saan pupunta itong bansang ito?

I still have great hopes. Tayong mga Pilipino, sasabihin, “Ano ba naman, bakit hindi tayo umangat katulad ng iba nating kalapit bansa?” Sabi ko, darating at darating din iyon.

Kaya nga I am so glad that it was at the suggestion of some people that we try to revive iyong “being like Ninoy,” that the Filipinos are like Ninoy, ready to sacrifice and to give their all for the sake of the country.

I also realized I have so much to be grateful for. I always tell my children, “Siguro 90% of the population have it so much worse. We really are so privileged so we have to show and return all these gifts that have been given to us.”

Paalam and Salamat Cory.
