A Salute to Tita Cory

Thank you Tita Cory for your endless dedication for the Filipino people. You showed us the value of nonviolent movements and the greatness of democracy. By becoming the first Female President of the Philippines you showed the whole world that power is not something to be abused. You never abused your power during your term and I salute you for that.

Thank you for being the nation's most wonderful mother. You nurtured us, you cared for us more than you carted for your own family. You equally shared the advocacy that your deceased husband started. You became our icon for revolution and you have shown us that nothing is impossible if we are all united. We love you Tita Cory and your passion will be greatly remembered by generations to come.

You showed the whole world the power of the Filipinos. We are a nation of fighters but you showed them our other side. The side of non-violent movements. Thank you for letting the world know our strength.

You made us proud that you--a simple housewife--received extraordinary accomplishments and most importantly you created a whole new image of a woman. a Filipino and a human.

You made my faith stronger. You prove to me the power of prayer and as a Catholic you are my idol...

Thank you Tita Cory and I will never forget you!!!
