The Cory Magic

I knew there's going to be people on the street.
But I never expected it to be that many.
It was awesome.

The entire workforce in Makati froze.
People left their airconditioned cubicles and waited under a scorching midday sun.
CEOs and janitors stood side by side waving a laban sign.
There were no class barriers.

We were just common Filipinos paying our last respect.
To the woman who made the very democracy we are enjoying today possible.
There was so much love in the air.
And when her remains stopped by Ninoy's monument for a few minutes,
a couple of tears fell on my cheeks.

I experienced Cory's magic for the first time.
