August 5, 2009, Wednesday, has been declared by the Malacanang Palace as a non-working special holiday in observance of the funeral and burial rights of the former and late President Corazon "Cory" Aquino.
The private funeral of Aquino will be held at the Manila Memorial Park. She will be laid to rest beside her husband and Philippine hero Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.
The special holiday was declared to allow the public to see the last few moments of the Philippine freedom icon Cory Aquino.
Currently, the public who wants to view and pay their last respects to Aquino's remains are allowed in LaSalle Greenhills from 5 p.m. yesterday until Monday. Viewing proper is from 7am to 4am of the next day.
It was a very sad day of Aug. 1, 2009 when I learned about the death of Former Pres. Aquino. Beginning the confinement of Pres. Aquino at the Makati Med Hospital as before doing my office works I was reading first all news about her health condition update. As her ailment revealed to the public (having a Colon Cancer) made me feels pity to the whole family as our family also experienced the same situation. We went through a difficult situation of having a family member with a terminal case cancer. It is really hard to see your loved one who’s suffering extreme pain which you can really do nothing.
Pres. Aquino inspires me a lot. Being a mother, a wife, a good Filipino citizen and most especially being a good “Human Being”. All the revelations of the true CORY AQUINO have turned me to a better person. I am a family woman working away from my children, I don’t see them everyday nor taking care of them with all their needs but because of the courage gained from Ms. Cory Aquino I become more inspired to work hard so to give my children a better future. Now, I am more determined!
It gives me strength to face whatever hardships and trials that come into my life since I know these things would make me a better person as to what Mrs. Aquino perceived.
From the bottom of my heart, I do thank Mrs. Cory Aquino for making me inspired and turning me to a better person. Because of you, I’ve learned the importance of being an individual in this earth.
Again, Thank you very much.
May you rest in Peace.
