"I wonder if the youth still knows how to pray the rosary" President Cory Aquino said after praying the rosary. Today, as i got home I watched the Necrological Service for our Former President Cory Aquino. After hearing that line, I was struck by this, cause I can't even finish the whole rosary alone. I would make mistakes and would repeat the prayer without finishing it or making the prayer short. But why would a youth like me, who doesnt have any relationship with her, would listen to this and feel sad?
Because, I may not know her personally, when I look like her, I can see God. Of all presidents that I have known since i was in Grade School. She was the best. She cared the most about our Country and nurtured it. She never stole anything, what must, must be. I became one of her supporters. Who, will by spirit, will fight with her all the way.
There's something about her, that lifts my spirit up. Maybe the statement "I could see God" maybe this time i can expound it. Looking at her, you can see that she's so divine there's a different kind of glow in her face. her Hords and actions are so God-Like. She's living a Chrit-center life.
Hearing the good things about her made me realize how much she cared for our country. She's very compassionate, humble and very simple. She never wiped in our face that she's the president and she demands respect. She's never a two faced woman to us. What we see is what she is. Reading articles about her, made me feel that she's my second mother distance away who is caring for me.
She never neglected anyone, either rich or poor. She helps everyone, she doesnt choose who to help. She wants to help in all ways possible. With her actions, everyone will miss her. Especially the youth, who she cares about most.
Will her death be a spark of another People Power? Will her death light the candle that has been blown by the Government?
Mrs. Cory Aquino, a normal house-wife, a democratic idol and the strength of all Filipinos.
