It has been a month since President Corazon C. Aquino got hospitalized because of not having appetite. She was diagnosed to have colon cancer a year ago. Filipinos joined hands to pray for her recovery. There were vigils and Holy Masses not just in the Philippines but also in the other countries. You could see yellow ribbons on the street and her pictures at the entrance of some schools.
And today, on the 1st day of August 2009.. Mrs. Aquino's pain ended. She passed away at 3:18 AM while she and her family were praying the Holy Rosary. =(

The country and the world are mourning now.
As a Filipino, I can feel the sadness. There's something in me that asks: what will happen in our country now that she's gone? Who will sincerely initiate a true change? But then, she has also to take a rest. I guess all those years are enough. She has already done everything for our country.
Now is our time to do our part. I hope as she left us, all her values will remain with us forever. It will be an eye-opener for us to do what we can for the good of our beloved country. Let's not blame each other for all our misfortunes; may we realize that it should start with ourselves.
President Cory, thank you very much for every thing! You'll always be an inspiration. I may not change our country; but, I will try my very best to become a better person. Thank you, God/ess!
