A human life is a story told by God. We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey. While we are mourning the loss of our dear former Pres. Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, others are rejoicing to meet her behind the veil. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. I am extending my deepest sympathy and condolences to the Aquino family. She who has gone, so we but cherish her memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.
Students of the Digos City National High School also mourns the death of the peoples fondly called ‘Tita Cory’.

Governor Douglas Cagas, who earlier asked his constituents to offer prayers for Tita Cory to survive the colon cancer, said he felt sad upon knowing that the past president had expired at Makati Medical Center.
Cagas is one of the Aquino appointee as OIC-Governor of the province after he joined the Edsa People Power revolt in 1986.

1Lt. Raul Villegas, Alpha Coy commander, said now is the time that the nation will unite for peace and to always remember the good teachings of the former head of state.
“It’s sad that a former president who had done so many great things in our country just passed away. But as christians, we’re happy for her to be with our creator in heaven,” Villegas said.
Ordinary folks in the province said although they can not see the wake of the former president due to its far location, but they could offer prayers for the eternal repose of her soul.
According to them, Aquino is the true mother of democracy.
