It's been a while since I last wrote something in this blog.
But this woman led me in here to write something that I could
remembered when I was young.
It was weeks ago that I have heard news that Tita Cory was confined at the hospital because she had this colon cancer. And she could no longer eat well. Just Last Saturday, August 1, 2009,as a flickr addict,I went to my flickr group to find out who posted in what thread. While reading the thread topics, I was shocked
to read that Tita Cory's already dead.
Oh yes! I knew her plainly as a former President of this beloved Philippines.
Then, I have known that lots of people mourn for her death. Then I tried
asking myself,what have this woman done in the past when she was the President? Why do people love her that much? Then I started to think what I have remembered
when I was still at my young age.
Then there was a flashback: this woman's husband, Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. was killed in an airport during the Marcos' Presidency; she became the first female President of this country and Asia's first female President; The Woman in Yellow; she has a big part of the Philippine History. That is then that I have realized her big part in this country's History. I was still 5 years of age during the People Power Revolution. The song Handog ng Pilipino sa Mundo will always be remembered.
Today, the Mother of Democracy, will be burried at the Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque. May her soul rest in Peace...
To the former President Corazon Aquino, I and the Filipino people love you. You will always remain in our hearts. Thank you for loving this country and the people as well. You will always be remembered, Tita.
'Di na 'ko papayag na muli mabawi,
Ating kalayaan kay tagal natin mithi.
'Di na papayagang mabawi muli.
Magkakapit-bisig libo-libong tao.
Kay sarap palang maging Pilipino.
Sama-sama iisa ang adhikain.
Kelan man 'di na paalipin.
Ref:
Handog ng Pilipino sa mundo,
Mapayapang paraang pagbabago.
Katotohanan, kalayaan, katarungan
Ay kayang makamit na walang dahas.
Basta't magkaisa tayong lahat.
Masdan ang nagaganap sa aming bayan.
Nagkasama ng mahirap at mayaman.
Kapit-bisig madre, pari, at sundalo.
Naging Langit itong bahagi ng mundo.
Huwag muling payagang umiral ang dilim.
Tinig ng bawat tao'y bigyan ng pansin.
Magkakapatid lahat sa Panginoon.
Ito'y lagi nating tatandaan.
(repeat refrain two times)
Coda:
Mapayapang paraang pagbabago.
Katotohanan, kalayaan, katarungan.
Ay kayang makamit na walang dahas.
Basta't magkaisa tayong lahat!
