Till these days, Filipinos are still mourning for the death of the late President Corazon "Cory" Aquino. Knowing that she contributed a lot in our country, she did more than that. She brought back the freedom of our land. She fought for the rights of her people without using violence but instead, faith and belief for God. She served her country to her last breath.
I never knew someone who`s in the position but didn`t take advantage to any advantage that she might get. In other terms, "uncorrupt". Yes, she got all the powers but never indeed used in a wrong way. She was a very strong, brilliant and saluted woman who keeps her feet on the ground and always thinks of others. An unselfish creation of God who serves well and serves as a mother to anyone.
I have a four year old daughter who`s watching with my mother-in-law during the wake of the late President and i was so surprised when i saw her crying so I asked her why? "Why are you crying baby? something`s wrong?" she answered me back " I`m crying mom because I`m sad", I asked again why she`s sad and would you believe what she answered?"I`m sad because Cory is dead, she`s a good person", and she cried out loud. Even a four year old girl is aware of how good and important that person to everyone.
She was one of a kind. Despite of the pain and the suffering that she`d encountered, still, she`s much more interested and concerned to the other people than herself. She never complains, demands and ask for anything indulging her, instead, worried and cared for the others. Now, how can we recover from the lost of a hero, a mother, and a friend? How can we go on without our mother of freedom? When will we feel the ungreedy service of a leader again but instead the tenderness and sincereness of it? I just hope we will find a leader as simple and devoted as her. And I pray that It will be soon. That`s what we badly need now.
