on losing a 2nd mother...

It has been a tough fight for former President Corazon Aquino, trying to survive colon cancer. Just like how she fought for the democracy of all Filipinos during the EDSA Revolution in 1987 until the end of her term.

President Cory Aquino never surrendered in her battle as she tried to survive every kind of treatment given to her, no matter how painful it was. Well that's how we've known her--a woman of courage. It has also been proven of her continuous presence and support to all Filipinos as we face the greatest challenges in our country. She's been there at the moments we needed her most. She's always there uniting all of us, just like a mother bringing her children together.She didn't give up as she's been optimistic that someday, we'll live in a peaceful nation. But for now, it is her who has achieved peace before we do. She may not have given up her battle against colon cancer, but it's her bodythat has become weaker and weaker and eventually has given up. Even in her last breath we would know that it was peace that she really wanted, as she peacefully died with a look of contentment on her face.

I know how much our entire nation is in sorrow right now. It feels like we lost a second mother, someone we all listened to and looked up to, someone who has greatly influenced our actions and decisions, someone who has been an inspiration to all of us, and someone who never stopped caring for our nation. But let's just be happy now that she's already resting in peace, with God, who has been the center of her life when she was still alive.Indeed, Pres. Cory has been a historical icon. She has greatly influenced Philippine history, most especially 'people and politics', in a very good way. Thus, we shall give everything back to her as we continue the fight she has started. Let's wear our yellow ribbons forever as we unite and work hard to achieve a democratic and peaceful nation.

President Corazon Aquino: a phenomenal woman.

Goodbye to you, our second mom.
