'We now entrust everything to God'

Statement of the Aquino Family, July 2, 2009

Our mother has been battling cancer with much courage for a year and a half.

Her current hospitalization was necessary because of her loss of appetite, caused by fluid build-up in her stomach area.

We remain in complete trust in God’s infinite healing power.

Our family wishes to thank the Filipino people for their prayers and outpouring of love and concern for our mother.

She continues to be a woman of faith, a fighter, a source of hope and inspiration for all of us, not just her family but our entire nation as well.

Just like she has always taught us by her life’s example, we entrust everything to God.
