Cory Aquino, One True Filipino

Today at exactly 3:18am, former president Corazon Aquino died at the age of 76. Her son, Senator Noynoy aquino confirmed her death caused by cardio-respiratory arrest at the Makati Medical Center.

Here is a statement of Noynoy regarding the death of her mother,

“Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m., August 1, 2009, of cardio-respiratory arrest.

“She would have wanted to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and your continued love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country.

“Hinihiling po ng aming pamilya ang kaunting panahon para makasama namin ang aming mahal na ina.

“Later today, we will be announcing further details of her wake para sa lahat ng ating mga minamahal na kababayan na nais magbigay ng respeto sa aming ina. Maraming salamat po.”

Mrs. Aquino, wife of Ninoy Aquino, will always stay in the heart of every Filipino for bringing back the lost democracy during the Marcos era.

But on the brighter side, she is now pain-free caused by her disease, she’s positively in heaven right now and  she’s reunited again with the love of her life, Mr. Ninoy Aquino.

To Mrs. Cory Aquino, THANK YOU.

Maria Corazon Cojuanco Aquino
