I was in a taxi when I first heard the news that she had passed away. Surprised, but not so much since her condition had been getting worse in the last few days before she died. I remember the time when Rico Yan died (not to say that he's in the same level as Cory) me and my family were in Baguio. In Cory's case, my family was in Baguio again, minus me. Another coincidence is that every time we have a make-up class in Agency a famous person dies. The first time we had one Michael Jackson died. It was our second make-up class when Cory died. I hope we don't have another make-up class in Agency or if we do have one that nobody famous passes away. It's always hard to see an icon die. Aside from the fact that it makes you think of your own mortality, it's also a loss to the world because their influence passes on with them.
Another thought that came to mind is why do the people who oppose Gloria die one by one? Raul Roco died. FPJ died. Now Cory. What's the message? What's God's plan? Maybe through Cory's death Filipinos will be inspired to unite as one people (finally) and change the corrupt system that's dragging us all down.
For now, let's just continue praying for the soul of Cory Aquino and for the betterment of our country (read: making sure that Gloria Arroyo steps down in 2010).
