A Decent, Honest Man Laid To Rest
#SalamatPNoy #PaalamPNoy #PNoyRIP
Last Thursday, June 24, it was shock to learn that the former President Benigno Simeon Cojuangco Aquino III (fondly called PNoy) died. He would be laid to rest today at the Manila Memorial, with his father, Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., and mother, President Corazon Aquino.
Unlike the usual Filipino politicians, PNoy worked for the Filipino people and the country with no fanfare. Traditional politicians (TraPo) like seeing their faces on tarps and billboards. He will be remembered for the Philippines' winning the international tribunal in The Hague for the West Philippine Sea; the country's growth spurt--from the "Sick Man of Asia" to the "Rising Tiger of Asia". All this because he is a man of integrity, decency, and honesty.
Today is my schedule to buy the groceries. If not for this, I would be one of those on the streets waiting for his funeral procession/ convoy to pass. Thus, have to make do watching online for the live feed.
Went first to Honda Makati. My Honda HR-V will be serviced for its preventive maintenance. Then, went to The Landmark Supermarket for the groceries. Bought cream puff at Beard Papa's and ice cream at Tiger Sugar before proceeding home.
