On this very day, i received a confirmed news that former President Corazon Aquino is gone. With the death of Cory, the whole Filipino nation will mourn for the loss of one of the presidents loved by the Filipino people.
COry Aquino is considered as an icon of democracy because of her zealous part during the EDSA I and in fighting the administration of Marcos or the administration of tyranny. Cory is also known for the yellow ribbon and color yellow per se as a symbol of democracy.
At age of 76, God has put an end to Cory's life. With the death of Cory the fight for democracy will experience changes- but definitely for the better. Cory has also been active in fighting the previous and the present fraud and misgovernance of the previous and present administration. Cory has also been praised for her courage in standing for the people during the height of Marcos era. And, at the point of her death, Cory continued to leave the Philippine a legacy of good governance and an exemplary values of a good president.
Despite the death of the icon of democracy, let not democracy die with her. Instead, let the spirit of democracy burn among Filipino people let us be inspired by the deeds of the late Pres. Corazon Aquino.
May her soul rest in peace.
