We thank you, Ma'am Cory.

Ex-president Maria Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco Aquino's death on August 1, 2009 saddened everyone. She may have departed this physical world but her legacy and entity as an iconic empowered woman (known as the first female president in our country so as in our continent Asia) will never be forgotten. She honed our country into a drastic transition and without her effort to continue the legacy of her late husband Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, I don't think our generation could have possibly achieved its present state. She was an icon I used to read through pages in my history books way back when I was in elementary. She was an inspiring story used to narrate by my parents and relatives before, yet she is more than that. She is way better than that and I know everyone knows that particulary to those people who experienced her governance as the 11th President of the Philippines from 1986-1992. Her strong will to change our country into a better one never stops even her term ended many years before. She is of great importance in our country. Her devotion to achieve progress thru revitalizing the democracy, economic and political competency and all that is an ineffable encomium- I can't find words to praise such righteous act. Tomorrow, is a day for us to be reunited. Amidst the heart-breaking fact, we thank you Ma'am Cory.
