She will be buried beside her late husband, Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. at the Manila Memorial Park on Wednesday after the 9AM mass.
The former president of the Philippines, Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco Aquino who passed away on early Saturday morning, August 1, 2009, will be finally buried this Wednesday, August 5, 2009, at the Manila Memorial Park beside her husband, former Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr.
Tita Cory or Cory, as she is fondly called by people who knew her, died from cardiac respiratory arrest, after almost a year of suffering from colon cancer, according to her son, Senator Benigno Aquino III or Noynoy.
Just like the million of Filipinos both in the Philippines and abroad, I would surely give anything to watch her burial this coming August 5, 2009. The present Administration of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was kind enough to declare August 5 as a special non-working holiday to give everyone a chance to pay their last respects to the only icon of democracy in the Philippines.
If I could only have a way, I will travel to Manila to be one with the rest of my fellow Filipinos the fare was too expensive. Luckily, I found out that I could watch the burial of Tita Cory right here on the Internet, live streaming.
Because August 5 was declared as a special non-working holiday, I could be one with the whole nation in paying our last respects to Tita Cory...
Tita Cory, thank you for showing us the way. We will surely miss you.
