Sosyalera Meets Cory Aquino

The Nation just lost a mother.

I woke up late since it’s a Saturday and to my dismay, it’s all over the news that former President Cory died at 3:18am. How unfortunate it is when a noble icon dies at the middle of political crisis. Then again, ordinary people who sympathize don’t care much about how she worked with politics because she was not even perfect during her regime. Personally speaking, it’s quite heartbreaking not just because someone who advocated democracy is gone by now; but perhaps most of us are just touched with how she carries that peaceful smile, how she walks slowly as if she’s our own mom, and that hoping look on her thin face covered with wrinkles.

Kris Aquino might not have been a kind personality, but at least her mother is.

I’m still lucky I got to meet Cory before she died…

Maybe she was just too tired to speak that time.

Everyone loves her. We should go beyond grieving and give honor. That’s the least thing we can do.
