Cory

No words will suffice how much Cory has done to our country.

One book isn't even enough simply to describe her.

So while reading some posts in Inquirer, here is what I got that somehow, in just a few sentences, speak a lot about her:

What is Cory Aquino’s legacy?

For the world, it’s the first of a series of peaceful overthrows of authoritarian rulers, spreading to Eastern Europe. For the country, maybe it’s democracy with a six-year limit for the presidency. (referring to the People Power Revolution)

For Filipinos, some have suggested it’s to show them the best they could be. For the journalists who were there, she gave them simply the best story they have ever covered.
