Paalam Tita Cory

5 August 2009 - The day the icon of democracy, President Corazon "Cory" Aquino, was laid to rest. Thousands of Filipinos troop to the streets and brave the rains to witness the longest funeral procession after Ninoy Aquino's burial 26 years ago and pay their last respects to a well loved and idolized leader. May your deeds, and the principles you stood and fought for serve as inspirations for everyone to work for a better Philippines. Thank you!






Ituloy ang Laban!!!

Prayer for a Happy Death (2004)
by Corazon C. Aquino


Almighty God, most merciful Father
You alone know the time
You alone know the hour
You alone know the moment
When I shall breathe my last.


So remind me each day, most loving Father
To be the best that I can be
To be humble, to be kind,
To be patient, to be true,
To embrace what is good
To reject what is evil
To adore only You.


When that final moment does come
Let not my loved ones grieve for long
Let them comfort each other
And let them know how much happiness
They brought into my life.
Let them pray for me
As I will continue to pray for them,
Hoping that they will always pray for each other.
Let them know that they made possible
Whatever good I offered to our world
And let them realize that our separation
Is just for a short while
As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.


Our Father in heaven
You alone are my hope
You alone are my salvation
Thank You for Your unconditional love. Amen.

Maraming salamat po Tita Cory!


“I don't have any formula for ousting a dictator or building democracy. All I can suggest is to forget about yourself and just think of your people. It's always the people who make things happen.”
-- Corazon Aquino


“She would have wanted us to thank each and everyone of you for all your continued love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country." -- Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III
