Pres. Cory Aquino's Cancer Battle is Finished

More than a year after former Philippine president Cory Aquino was diagnosed with stage 4 Colon Cancer, the whole country right now is mourning for her loss. She passed away earlier this morning around 3am at Makati Medical Center because of cardio-respiratory arrest.

Mrs. Aquino, during her battle through cancer has united the whole of Philippines by saying the same prayer, that is for her to have the strength and surpass the pain. In fact, there are a lot of scheduled healing masses for her today that turned out to be a mass for the eternal repose of her soul.

You will forever be Mrs. President (as she requested to be called during her term) in the hearts of the Filipinos. Being the first woman president, you have left a legacy and inspiration to everyone of us. The country mourns for your loss but at the same time celebrating for having had a leader, a teacher, a mother and a hero in you. You will be missed. Ninoy and Cory reunited.
