REST IN PEACE

Probably one of the greatest Presidents the Philippines has ever known was laid to rest today. Everyone reading this knows Corazon Aquino and from what I know, she was one of the most humble and honest Presidents the Philippines has ever had. She had a position of power to annihilate the enemies who killed her husband, but she didn't. She held the "keys to the kingdom" that most Filipino Presidents use to fill up Swiss bank accounts but she used them to promote democracy. She instituted a constitution that set term limits for Presidents (it's currently 6 years but should only be 4). She did many more great things that put the Philippines back in order away from the awful communist and dictatorial reign of "you know who". May she rest in peace.

yes Deb, she has inspired like Ninoy, Filipino in many ways, up to her death. God bless Pres. Cory's soul.

If you have seen Pres. Cory's funeral rites and procession, it's probably one of those very few who had the biggest number of attendees. A proof that her good and honest leadership had been very much appreciated by the Filipino people.Her leadership may not be perfect, but we would truly miss one selfless and humble leader like her.

I really felt bad when I heard she passed away. I don't think I will ever feel the same for a former president and our country ever again.

I have heard nothing but positive things about her. I'm sorry she passed away.
