Deedee Siytangco, the former President’s spokesperson, confirmed Aquino’s demise this morning. The nation is certain to mourn the loss of the country’s Icon of Democracy.
Aquino died three days after her family declared that her health condition had stabilized.
Siytangco said last Wednesday that “her (Cory’s) children said she’s now stable.”
On Thursday, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) said it is one with the Filipino people not only in praying for the cancer-stricken former president but also in thanking the latter for restoring freedom and democracy in the country.
“We join the Filipino people in thanking her for the freedom and democracy that she helped bring back to the country in 1986,” CBCP president Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo said in a letter to Noynoy.

The People's Power and Edsa Revolution were written in the history of the Philippines because of her. She will be missed in the coming commemorations.
I felt glad that I had tied a yellow ribbon in my blog before she passed away.
May God Bless her soul.
