A few hours after her passing, former President Corazon Aquino was mourned and at the same time praised by senators, some of who would rather refer to her in the present tense.

Up to the last minute of her breath, former president Corazon Aquino was unable to witness the “stability of democracy she worked so hard for,” her supporters said on Saturday.

Bomb sniffing dogs and additional policemen will be deployed in and around the vicinity of La Salle Greenhills, where the remains of former President Corazon Aquino is expected to be brought Saturday afternoon, a police spokesman said.

The line that was most applauded in President Corazon Aquino’s speech before the US Congress on Sept. 18, 1987, more than a year after she assumed the presidency, came from no less than herself, a lawmaker who wrote the speech disclosed Saturday.

President Barack Obama was “deeply saddened” by the death of Corazon C. Aquino, saying the former Philippine president exemplified the best in the Filipino nation.

Malacañang is prepared to extend all courtesies to former president Corazon C. Aquino, including a state funeral, but is deferring to her family on their funeral plans.
