I said it before, I’m not one who’s fond of local politics.. and as such have not dipped my fingers a lot (or at all) on it here. I’ll leave that to the experts — most especially to one of my recent favorites.
So what do I make of the recent passing of former President Cory Aquino? Well, more than her contributions to history, I salute her for embodying the values of steadfast faith, unconditional love, and unshakable personal integrity.
