A woman of strength and hope, an icon of democracy and the mother of all Filipino that is Corazon Aquino. She was the first female president in Asia who fought for democracy during the Marcos' autocratic regime. My professor once told me that without her, we the new generation won't have this kind of freedom particularly the freedom of speech because during their time you either get beheaded or thrown somewhere for saying something against the government. She also gave critical importance to women and equality to everyone. Presidents, Famous icons and ordinary people don't only look up to her up on her wonderful services during her presidency but also her deep love for her country even though she's done with her term.
I may not be a part of their family but I really felt their sadness from the first day they knew about their mother's colon cancer up until her death . Funny it may seem but I cried whenever someone gives her a wonderful speech specially when her youngest daughter Kris Aquino spoke. My grandmother also suffered from colon cancer and it's really hard to stay strong whenever you see their hair falls of from their scalp or mainly seeing them having a hard time.
I took those pictures while I was waiting for my ride going home so yeah my school is like a walk away to Ayala, I never planned on taking pictures but it surprised me when I saw a very very long procession. Anyway I felt happy because there were so many people who went there to see her but then I also felt sad because of her lost. Yellow confetti's fell from the sky which made some people reminisce the 1983 death of Pres. Cory's husband -- Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino .She may not be here with us but you know what I'll never forget a single inch about her and I'll try to continue her virtue in my own way.
