I may not be the most political activist or any of that of some sort but I know that Philippines became a better place because of some the most influential people. One of them was Cory Aquino. Philippines may still have long ways to go but thank you for the love for our people and country. May you rest in peace.------------
MANILA (Reuters) - Former President Corazon Aquino, whose "people power" revolution swept dictator Ferdinand Marcos from power in the Philippines, died on Saturday after a 16-month battle against colon cancer, her family said. She was 76.
Aquino was diagnosed with the disease in March 2008 but kept up public appearances this year. A devout Catholic, she was a regular at weekend mass until shortly before being admitted to hospital in late June.
"Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m. (1918 GMT Friday) of cardio-respiratory arrest," her son, Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., told reporters in Manila.
