August 1 ‘09 Bullets – Cory Aquino | Far From Neutral Notions

Google’s Timeline on former President Corazon C. Aquino
Mon Casiple gives us something to hope for → “Corazon Aquino, in her death, reopened the opportunity for the people to block all attempts to undermine the democratic legacy she leaves behind to future generations of Filipinos. In her, we see the rallying point to check the powers-that-be who wish to violate the democratic covenant forged in the 1986 EDSA. Cory lives. We pledge.”
The PCIJ blog → “She leaves behind five children, and an entire nation in grief.”
Even a Jester can grieve → “We shall not forget you, nor that you brought us back into the light. Rest now, it is our turn to do the fighting.”
Ding G. Gagelonia of FilipinoVoices reminds us of Cory’s legacy → Cory Aquino has left us with the ‘L’ sign as a constant reminder that our freedoms can only stay with us if we fight for them.”
The Marcoses, as always, are trying to capitalize on the death of an Aquino → the PR spin from Bongbong: “In terms of our country, I hope we will find closure in all of the events at maabot natin ang unity sa ating bansa.” Why can’t he wait until his mother dies?
Sonny Coloma shares with us his memories — and unfortunately mixes up former Genesis frontman Phil Collins for business guru Jim Collins. It’s a typ-o, let it go kids. → “We honor her because she made us proud to be Filipinos.”
ABS-CBN has a timeline too.
