Thank you Tita Cory
Today, I am wearing a yellow polo shirt at the office to celebrate the life and pay my last respects to the Philippines' very own former President - Corazon C. Aquino - fondly called - Tita Cory. Admittedly, I did not approve of what has become the Aquino administration - although I was hopeful that it would change Philippine politics radically. But I respected Madamme President for for great accomplishments - as the country's first female leader , and for not too bad presidency after all. She ran against strongman ruler Pres. Marcos in a snap election - against all odds - againt the fear of being assasinated herself like her husband, Ninoy. I admire her courage and that will live long even after she was gone. Her words continue to reverberate in the hearts of the Filipino people - "Magnanimous in Victory". And when the snap elections failed - she is one of the leaders of the People Power revolution that shook the former dictator out of the Malacanang Palace....
