In death, Cory Aquino has become larger than life.
Seeing the sea of humanity that accompanied her to her mortal resting place re-affirmed my faith in the Filipino.
Wednesday, we all came together, braving hunger and rain, to pay tribute to a woman who embodies, what we believe is good, honest, humble, brave. The scenes along the South Luzon Expressway were awesome. They filled not only the streets but also the flyovers. Northbound vehicles stopped and passengers converted the inner lane into parking space while they joined crowds chanting “Cory! Cory!” while flashing the Laban sign. Cargo vehicles became platforms where people waved instant placards with handwritten messages professing love and gratitude for Cory.
