Filipinos from all walks of life showered messages of grief, gratitude and farewell on our late president and people power icon Corazon Aquino for her burial tomorrow. She died of cardiopulmonary arrest after complications of colon cancer last saturday, Aug. 1. She was loved and admired not only by Filipinos but also the world for her extraordinary courage for restoring democracy in our country.
She swept away a dictator and then sustained democracy by fighting off seven coup attempts in six years. President Cory Aquino's advocacy will inspire and will live in our hearts forever.
I still remember during the people power in 1986, i am one of those protesters wearing yellow t-shirt. I am very vocal about my stand and even attending protest march here and there. I am then working for a government official and lose my job in the process. I don't have any regret because just like other Filipinos, i wanted change, freedom and democracy.
