@ KrisAquino: How could the person mom would always say was your female version possibly forget? In heaven you celebrated your 90th birthday. Dad, just a rhetorical question- bakit pati yung cardiovascular problems mo minana ko? My genetic testing cleared me for all types of cancer (thank you God) but 2 of my life threatening autoimmune issues have an effect on blood flow, heart, and lung functionā¦bimb at 15, already has high cholesterol issues (we were both saying kuya is really the favorite of his Lola Cory & tito Noy because maganda ang blood panel nya.) i only experienced having you as my dad for 3 years & 3 months from May 8, 1980 to August of 1983- yet you gave me so much of you⦠because we had to get to know each other (i was 19 months old nung kinulong ang dad namin)⦠from watching the nightly evening news, to our Barnes & Noble bonding, watching movies (our last was Return of the Jedi), going to all my school events- among the 5 of us i was so blessed⦠in Boston you werenāt a Vice Governor, Governor, Senator, or a political prisoner sentenced to death by firing squad- you were just my dad who called me ābeautifulā⦠when my movies, tv shows & endorsements were all happening, mom was proud BUT in my heart i knew you were even prouder⦠because you were the 1st to believe my childhood dreams would come true. Dad, thatās what sets you apart- your charisma came from the fact everyone who was in your company felt special; innately Ninoy Aquino knew how to make it all about others & never about himself. Yes you were a great writer & speaker BUT more than that naka focus ka sa mga taong kaharap moā¦unselfish talaga yung pagmamahal mo sa kapwa Pilipino. Subukan mang baguhin ang kwento ng kahapon, itās from you i learned to NEVER show anger, NEVER reveal your weakness. The child of Ninoy & Cory, the last still carrying their last names, learned from both: Faith in God, Patience, protecting your Integrity, standing firm w/ your words, Trustworthiness & caring for all Filipinos regardless of chosen ācolorā, and sharing w/ those in need- those are values i hold on to & do my best to instill in my sons. God sees all & thatās what matters. #hero https://www.instagram.com/p/CliM1KYSa29/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
