In Memoriam: Corazon C. Aquino (RIP)

For fighting off a dictator to restore our freedom and democracy...

For fighting off seven coup attempts to help us keep that democracy...

For being a model public servant, a woman of integrity and priciples...

For making us Filipinos regain the pride and honor we lost during the dictatorship...

For being a role model of courage and strength, faith in the Lord and in our Lady.

For being a role model of what a true Pinoy Catholic should be...

MARAMING, MARAMING, MARAMING SALAMAT PO!  

AMING MAHAL NA TITA CORY!

Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
  et lux perpetua luceat eis.
  Te decet hymnus Deus, in Sion,
  et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem.
  Exaudi orationem meam;
  ad te omnis caro veniet.
  Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
  et lux perpetua luceat eis.

  In paradisum deducant te Angeli:
  in tuo adventu suscipiant te Martyres,
  et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
  Chorus Angelorum te suscipiat,
  et cum Lazaro quondam paupere aeternam habeas requiem.
