Thank you, President Cory : Bisdak Babbles

I’m ashamed to admit it, but I had not really looked deeper into what our late President Cory Aquino did aside from taking up the responsibility of leading our nation to be freed from dictatorship. We owe her our freedom. Yet, I had not reflected on the depth and weight of such responsibility. Little did I realize how extraordinary leader she had been.

When the People Power took place, I was just a small girl and I really didn’t understand why we had to wear something yellow. When I became old enough to comprehend what’s going on around me, I lost my interest in digging up what the country’s leaders are up to because almost everything that I could read and hear about them are frustrating. The loss of such a great leader led me to read articles about Pres. Cory. The necrological service even revealed the unknown but great things she did not just to the country but to the people that are always around her. Now, all I have for her is gratitude and awe. President Cory, maraming salamat po!

I hope and pray that our nation’s next leaders would be true servants like her. I hope that in the 2010 election, we Filipinos would once again vote as if we are fighting to be free. Yet, we are in bondage once again. Ipagpatuloy ang laban!

Here’s one of the articles that has once again ignited my sense of patriotism.
