We got to know about People Power and President Cory from Dad and Mom. According to them, it was a historic time as the Filipinos regained democracy and freedom that time- from the martial law days of the Marcos regime.We witnessed how the Filipinos regarded President Cory as a real icon and hero. It was overwhelming! And we could not help but admire her too.
We were excited to find out that President Cory's funeral cortege was passing by along South Super Hi-Way (literally, in font of our house)! And so we trooped down to the streets (er, highways) and waited... and waited. Wearing our yellow shirts and armed with our cameras, we did not mind the rain. Then, there it was... there she was... right in front of our very eyes. A Philippine flag draped over her casket, amid yellow flowers, four soldiers stood erect on guard... It was history right in front of our very eyes.
