I normally refrain from writing about politics, politicians, and anything politically-related. It's just not my bag, so to speak. Besides, there are numerous newspapers, TV programs, and other blogs that are more qualified to do so.Somehow all these years, former President Cory Aquino never struck me as a politician. Back in 1986, I was 12 years old. I was in 6th grade. I already had an understanding of what was happening as people marched to Edsa and People Power unfolded before my eyes. I saw her simply as someone who wanted to set the country free.
Of all the Philippine presidents whose terms I personally experienced (Marcos, Aquino, Ramos, Estrada, and Arroyo), I can say that President Cory Aquino was the only one who did not have personal agendas. I really, truly believe that she was the only one who did not lie, cheat, and steal from the people she loved so much. Her term may not have been perfect, but she will always be the president who had nothing but the best interests of the people at heart -- and I don't know if I can ever say that of any other Philippine president in my lifetime.
Goodbye and thank you, President Cory Aquino... it is very comforting to know that you went in peace, and that you are now reunited with your husband and our creator.
