For those of us that have done nothing yet…it is time to wake up and to do something. – Corazon Aquino

One of the most candid interviews I saw of President Cory Aquino was the interview she gave to Jessica Soho back in September last year. She spoke from the heart and you could actually feel from when she spoke, the sincerity and honesty of every word she uttered.
During the interview, I captured a phrase. The phrase seems to have been her message to all Filipinos and a message that we should all remember and instill in our hearts.
Years come and go and we sometimes forget. We can never forget the sacrifice that she made for us. She did it so we can have our freedom once again. As Filipinos, we should remember her and keep her as a beacon of freedom and sacrifice.
She said:
I could safely say that now after all these years, people still accept me for what I am and when I say something, they accept it as the truth and nothing else.
Magalaing ang demokrasya pero kinakailangan din na mas maraming tao ang tutulong sa pamahalaan, dahil hindi kailangan ng pamahalaan na sila lamang ang tutulong sa mamamamayan. I suppose that we all have to change in the sense that for those of us that have done nothing yet or have done very little for the rest of our fellow Filipinos, it is time to wake up and to do something. – Corazon Aquino
President Aquino’s remains lie in state at the La Salle Greenhills Gymnasium. The Aquino family preferred that the former President had a funeral for the people rather than a state funeral as Malacanang had suggested.
People from all over have lined up in the rain to pay their last respects to our beloved Tita Cory.
The nation is in mourning. The nation is being reminded. “We are a free people because of her. ”
