Kris Aquino On Cory Aquino

The Dilemma of Moving On

Posted by mhel in famous people, general, health and fitness, self-help on September 25th, 2009

Are you a late sleeper? I am. It has been my habit to still stay awake after a a full day of heavy work. Usually, if I am not yet grossly tired, I would still open my laptop and continue working while watching super late night TV shows. When I am too tired to bear another ray of radiation from the PC, I would simple lie down, watch TV and try to relax while hugging my baby.

Since we don’t have a cable and there’s nothing else to watch after Survivor of GMA 7 (I’m not a fan of Koreanovelas anymore so I don’t watch Shining Inheritance), I am glued to the SNN updating myself with the showbiz chismis of the day. Last night, the news was about Richard Gutierrez and his personal assistant (PA) Nomar who died because of an accident the family is now blaming Richard for. The wife said in her initial attempt to talk to Richard to know clearly what happened to her husband, Annabelle Rama just told her, move on already as Richard is already doing so. She said its easily said than done, how can she move on when she and her kids were the ones forever affected by the accident.

Kris Aquino made a comment after the interview confirming that the idea of “moving on” is really easy to say but very hard to do as she is having difficulty not crying all the time with her mom’s (former president Cory Aquino) memories. I can vouch for this thought as my heart bleeds whenever I remember my son and my tatay.

Memories of Mothers

Posted by mhel in famous people, general, the Filipina on August 4th, 2009

The last thing I saw on television last night before I closed my eyes to sleep was Kris Aquino narrating about her Mother, former president Corazon ‘Cory’ Aquino. I wanted to watch it but I was too tired I can barely open my eyes. The first thing I saw on the TV too this morning was the replay of the coverage of yesterday’s event, the transfer of Madam Aquino to Manila Cathedral which caused grave traffic since many people went to see the president. It was like looking back at the funeral of her spouse, Senator Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino, which was flocked by hundreds of thousands of supporters.

I was not a fan. That is clear to me. I have yet to see a Philippine President who can ‘wow me.’ When ‘Tita Cory’ died though, I was sad and even cried, for the loss of a good person who loves God, her family, and the country. For me, those characterisitics are already good already to admire a woman.

She was a wonderful mother and in her, I see the type of motherhood I always encounter with mother friends who, from time to time, would burst into tears in my front lamenting their woes over the irresponsible actions and decisions of their children (now in their adolescence). Tita Cory, despite her family’s wealth, experienced a lot of disappointments and challenges in the motherhood area. Her favorite child, Kris Aquino, is well known for her ’sensational affairs’ and publicly deplorable antics. Despite all these, Tita Cory has always remained by her side showing compassion and understanding. She was indeed an epitome of a mother who’s unconditional love was overflowing for all her children and grandchildren, especially to those who needed it like her daughter, Kris, and her son, Josh.
