Former President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino
“Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m. August 1, 2009 of cardio respiratory arrest. She would have wanted us 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 our country. Hinihiling po ng aming pamilya ang konting panahon para makasama namin ang aming mahal na ina,” this is a statment from the Aquino family.
Former President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino was propelled to the Philippines presidency in the first ‘People Power’ revolution back in 1986.
I am not a very big fan of Former President Corazon CojuangcoAquino but I feel really sad because one of our living heroes passed away. She moved a lot of people and also she was like a second mother to all the Filipinos here in the Philippines and around the world.
To everyone please tie a yellow ribbon in your house or offices. You can also light a yellow candle and offer a short prayer for President Corazon.
Condolences to the Aquino Family.
A short history about President Corazon Aquino.
María Corazón “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. She served as the 11th president of the Philippines from 1986 to 1992. She was the first female president of the Philippines and was Asia’s first female president.
A self-proclaimed “plain housewife”, Aquino is the widow of Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr., a leading figure in the political opposition against the autocratic rule of President Ferdinand Marcos. After her husband was assassinated upon his return from exile in the United States on August 21, 1983, Aquino, who had no prior political experience, became a focal point and unifying force of the opposition against Marcos. She was drafted to run against Marcos in the 1986 snap presidential elections. After Marcos was proclaimed the winner despite widespread reports of electoral fraud, Aquino was installed as President by the peaceful 1986 People Power Revolution.

Dear Aquino Family,
I would like to imply my condolences to the death of your mother which is former president Cory Aquino. When I heard that she passed away I was shocked because I know that she have many things to do.
Former president Cory was a strong woman especially when Ninoy Aquino died. She is the one who became the father that’s why I really appreciate her being strong and I really thankful to all the things she have done to our very own country. She is a good role model to everyone. I hope that we all do the same thing as former President Cory did and we all mark it to our hearts.
Lovingly yours,
Rose Ann of Cavite

Una sa lahat, gusto kong iparating ang aking pakikiramay sa pamilyang naiwan ni Mrs. Corazon Cojuangco Aquino… masyado akong nalungkot dahil isang mabuti at napakagaling na pangulo ang binawian ng buhay. Pero alam naman nating lahat na siya ay masaya na sa piling ng kanyang Lumikha. Abot-langit ang pasasalamat ko sa kanya sapagkat kung hindi nanindigan ang isang Corazon Aquino malamang ay hindi natin makakamit ang demokrasya. Siya ang unang babae sa buong Asya na naglakas loob na tumakbo sa pagkapangulo at nagwagi. Napakalakas ng pananampalataya niya sa Panginoon. sa totoo lang nabasa ko ang sinulat niyan ‘A Prayer For A Happy Death’ at kitang kita ang kanyang pagkamaka-Diyos. Kaya naman hindi nakapagtataka na napagkaisa niya ang buong Pilipinas hanggang sa huling sandali ng kanyang buhay…..
Corazon Aquino is a really woman with extremely humble nature, that filipinos adores her and revered her significantly. Her heritage will be in each filipino’s core!
