The symbol that gave Filipinos hope and strength during the Marcos' regime

I have never been into politics. I don’t think I’ll ever be. Thus, I never thought that a death of a political person would move me. Yet with the passing of former President Corazon Aquino, I felt such sadness. Maybe because she was different. She was thrust into power not by choice but by circumstances. She took on the duty, the responsibility of being the head of a country hungry for freedom with no prior political experience. Some will dismiss her administration as useless, some will herald it as one of the best. One thing that can be surely said is that she touched the lives of so many Filipinos. Her legacy to the Filipino people will never be forgotten.
