"She was a good person. Say what you will about her administration, the illusions dashed and opportunities missed, but she was decent to us. She never mocked us, made fun of our hopes, or knowingly insulted our intelligence. Born to privilege, she never acted the spoiled brat.

Cory Aquino, January 25, 1933 - August 1, 2009.

Thanks very much, ma'am.
