5 Reasons Why I Mourn the Death of ‘Tita Cory’
Former President Corazon ‘Cory’ Aquino was perhaps one of the most loved political personality of our generation today and it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. Listed below are the reasons why I feel a great loss with the death of our iconic leader:
Girl Power
Who would have thought that a housewife can overthrow a dictator? Cory Aquino, only armored with a sincere passion to continue Ninoy Aquino’s legacy did that for the Philippines. Her grace under pressure attitude during her term was also commendable as she handled all the uprising and the criticisms with dignity.
Symbol of Democracy
Regardless of what political opponents say about her, Cory Aquino will forever be regarded as a symbol of democracy of the Philippines. The original People Power will always be synonymous with Madam Cory.
Humble Persona
Cory Aquino was the only Philippine President who did not consider Malacanang Palace as her ‘home’ during her tenure. In one of her interview, I vividly recalled her saying that the palace for her was just an’office’ and she was like a ‘visitor’ of the palace passing by. Even the role Chief of State did not even go up to her head.
Charismatic
She was perhaps one of the President in our lifetime that exuded a charismatic personality. Her approachable demeanor looked so convincing and her smiles? Hindi plastic!
Scandal Free
Though Cory’s tenure was bombarded with uprising, her personal life was free of scandals. Her Presidency was not even a subject of scrutiny against corruption or power tripping.
Thank you Tita Cory for believing that democracy is worth living for and thank you so much for being a mother to every people of this country.
God bless you!

I second the motion kay kengkay… sana sa pagkawala niya, mayroong mangyaring maganda pagkatapos nito… at sana rin, huwag itong gamitin ng mga bulok na pulitiko para maisulong ang kanilang mga pansariling layunin…

I definitely agree! The thousands of people (I think around 500K) who fall in line just to see her despite the bad weather is a living witness that Cory will surely be missed by a lot.
