I hardly know facts about politics. The people who crave for it,who fight and die for it. I don't even know the names of prominent politicians who make their own dramatic stories just to become the people's hero. But on this day August 1, 2009, one name became the nations subject to talk about - the death of Former President Corazon Aquino.
Corazon Aquino became the mother of the nation because of the sudden death of her husband, Benigno " Ninoy" Aquino who was then a senator who courageously fight against the Marcos Administration . His death became an instant Philippine's history and his wife Cory Aquino continued to make that history being the first woman to be the President of the Philippines and of Asia.
I have a vague information on how Cory Aquino became the president and how it ended. Maybe because I was not born on that era yet and even up to now I don' have the clear idea of what happened during her regime. Not because I am too indifferent who doesn't care about my country, it's just that I am too tired of understanding politics, too tired of knowing the politicians and too tired to listen on their whims.
But with Cory Aquino all I heard were about prayers, a loving and supportive mother and a caring and cheerful lola. She is an icon of many politicians, a fan of democracy and a fighter and defender of the rights of every Filipinos. She was the light of the nation when it is triggered by greed of power, money and injustice. Her words and opinions are heard in the world of politics.
As she continued to serve this country through her prayers she faced her own battle and she brought with her the strong faith that inspired many individuals - the rich and the poor. Together with this nation, prayers were uttered to make her win the battle she's into and today her battle ended.
Filipinos mourn for losing a woman of faith, a woman of democracy,a woman of this nation,a woman who brings hope to this nation. Pres. Cory Aquino may bid farewell to her beloved nation and to us Filipinos but her ideals will live forever in every Filipino's heart.
Her death show us how brave she was, fighting the pain of her illness, fighting to survive yet one thing that she never fight about is the final day that God wants her to rest. She showed us the true courage of a warrior and the total surrender when herMaster tells her so.
