We are all sad for the death of former President Cory Aquino, we will remember her forever for she was the one brought back the democracy in our country during the Marcos Regime. Thank you!
I got this excerpt below from yahoo news philippines:
Corazon Aquino, the country’s first woman president, she died Last August 1, 2009, Sunday at 3:18 a.m. at the Makati Medical Center after an 18-month battle with colon cancer. She was 76.
She had fulfilled her mission to lead her people from the oppression of a dictatorship toward democracy. And, once there, she never let her guard down. The world honored – and continues to honor – her for this.
“Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m., Aug. 1, 2009, of cardio-respiratory arrest,” Mrs. Aquino’s only son Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III announced from the
lobby of the Makati Medical Center around 6 a.m. of August 1, 2009, Sunday.
