Woman of courage, strength

MANILA, Philippines - Pres. Cory Aquino is the only Philippine president loved, respected, honored, admired worldwide for the longest time. She, the Triumph of Democracy, the Power of Faith and the Strength of Woman. Sure, with flaws, but who hasn’t? She is the only Filipino too, ever, prayed for in endless global Masses and worship services since her ailment became public.

I wonder, if any of the current crap, er crop, of politicians and past leaders get ill or pass on, would we be as affected? Would anyone come close to Cory and her legacy? What mark are they leaving — perhaps crap? Shameless. — Carlos K. Aguilar, Jr., Greenhills, San Juan
