Thank You President Cory

The mother of modern Philippine democracy died today. Thank You President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino. May you Rest In Peace!!! We will never forget you.

Philipppine's 11th President famous for Yellow


A Devout Christian and an Icon of Democracy


Time Magazine's Woman of the Year


Almighty God, most merciful Father
You alone know the time
You alone know the hour
You alone know the moment
When I shall breathe my last.

So, remind me each day, most loving Father
To be the best that I can be.
To be humble, to be kind,
To be patient, to be true.
To embrace what is good,
To reject what is evil,
To adore only You.

When the final moment does come
Let not my loved ones grieve for long.
Let them comfort each other
And let them know how much happiness
They brought into my life.
Let them pray for me,
As I will continue to pray for them,
Hoping that they will always pray for each other.

Let them know that they made possible
Whatever good I offered to our world.
And let them realize that our separation
Is just for a short while
As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.

Our Father in heaven,
You alone are my hope.
You alone are my salvation.
Thank you for your unconditional love, Amen.

- Pres. Cory Aquino (1933-2009)

I just heard. I'm glad you showed photos of her during the time she was very vibrant.

She was my first (and only so far) female idol.
