I came from five days of mourning. I also came from five days of being a witness to a love affair between Cory Aquino and the Filipino people. From her wake at La Salle Greenhills and the Manila Cathedral, the short trip from one to the other, and the final trip to Manila Memorial, Filipinos stood in line for hours to view her, lined the streets and walked behind her hearse to honor her.
It is August 2009. After twenty-six years, a hero is followed to his grave by a heroine. He warned against martial law, she dismantled it. There are few examples in history where a spouse picks up the battle after the other spouse falls, and then raises the bar of courage.
