www.pcij.org Posted by: Jaemark Tordecilla | August 1, 2009 at 3:04 pm Filed under: General by Sheila S. Coronel At this moment of grief for the Filipino people, the PCIJ pays tribute to Her Excellency, Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, with this story by PCIJ founding executive director, Sheila S. Coronel. Sheila, who received the Ramon Magsaysay Award in Journalism, Literature and the Creative Communication Arts in 2003, is now the executive director of the Toni Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism of the Columbia Universitys Graduate School of Journalism. THOSE OF us who had grown up in the shadow of the Marcos dictatorship had not heard or seen Cory Aquino until August 1983, when she returned to Manila to bury her husband Ninoy. I remember catching a glimpse of her as I joined the crowd lining up at the Sto Domingo church to view Ninoys body, which was laid out in the bloodstained white suit that he had worn to his homecoming and death. Only three years later, when Cory was going around the country to campaign for the presidency, did she tell Filipinos what happened the day she returned. In a voice that betrayed no emotion, she told the large crowds that had gathered to see her that she had asked to be left alone with her husbands body. Ninoy, she told him, itutuloy ko ang laban mo (I will continue your fight). Those who did not live through the 1980s will find all this too melodramatic. But the Philippines was a different place then. We were a country ruled by a dying ...

NINOY AND CORY AQUINO TOGETHER AGAIN. REST IN PEACE. THE FILIPINOS ARE WORTH DYING FOR AND THE TWO OF YOU ARE TRULY FILIPINO PATRIOTS AND ICONS OF DEMOCRACY. Benigno Servillano Aquino, Jr. (November 27, 1932 August 21, 1983), popularly known as Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. and by his nickname Ninoy, was a former Philippine senator, governor, vice governor and mayor and a leader of the opposition to the rule of Ferdinand Marcos. He was assassinated at the Manila International Airport (later renamed in his honor) upon returning home from exile in the United States. His death catapulted his widow, Corazon Aquino, to the limelight and subsequently to the presidency, replacing the 20-year Marcos regime. Maria Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco Aquino (January 25, 1933 August 1, 2009) was a President of the Philippines and a world-renowned advocate of democracy, peace, women's empowerment, and religious piety.

Cory Aquino, Philippine people power heroine, dies By Manny Mogato MANILA (Reuters) - Corazon Aquino of the Philippines, who ousted one of the 20th Century's most corrupt dictators to become a global icon of democracy, died on Saturday after a 16-month battle against colon cancer. She was 76. Her family announced she died in the early hours of Saturday, shortly after a private mass was held in her hospital room. All five children were at her bedside. "Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 ampm EDT Friday of cardio-respiratory arrest," her son, Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., told reporters. "She would have wanted us to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and your continuous love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country." Aquino, affectionately known as Cory, was president from 1986 to 1992. But she is best remembered, more than two decades after the fact, as the slim woman in yellow who led the "People Power" revolution that toppled dictator Ferdinand Marcos. US President Barack Obama said: "Her courage, determination, and moral leadership are an inspiration to us all and exemplify the best in the Filipino nation." In events that gripped the world in 1986, up to 1 million people waving rosaries and flowers stopped Marcos' tanks advancing toward Aquino-backed army rebels. When a bewildered Marcos and his wife Imelda fled the nation, it set a stirring precedent for dissidents everywhere, from South Africa to ...

www.gmanews.tv Former Philippine President Corazon Aquino, icon of people power in the Philippines and around the world, passed away at 3:18 am Saturday, her son, Senator Benigno Aquino III, said. The official cause of death was cardiorespiratory arrest. The 76-year-old Aquino was diagnosed with colon cancer in March of last year and was treated with chemotherapy. Last May, she underwent surgery to remove parts of her colon and was brought to the Makati Medical Center (MMC) in June due to loss of appetite. She never left the hospital, as her declining condition sparked a wave of emotion in the country and prompted the widespread appearance of yellow ribbons - on trees, car antennas, and even the Web. "She would have wanted us to thank each and everyone of you for all your continued love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country," Senator Aquino said. "Hinihiling ng aming pamilya ng kaunting panahon para makasama ang aming ina." He added that they chose a private funeral arrangement for the late president rather than avail of a state funeral in Malacañang.
