Imee and Bongbong Marcos visit Cory Aquino’s wake
The children of the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos yesterday visited the wake of former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino at the Manila Cathedral.
Ilocos Norte Representative Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., his wife Liza Araneta, and his sister, former congresswoman Imee Marcos, went to the church to pay their last respects to Cory who led the popular revolution that ousted their father in 1986.
They were welcomed by Cory’s eldest daughter Ballsy Aquino-Cruz and grandchildren Jonty Aquino-Cruz and Kiko Aquino-Dee and stayed for around 15 minutes. The Marcos siblings didn’t issue an official statement aside from saying that they went there to express their sympathies.

to the moderator:
bakit naman approve sa inyo yang walang kwentang comment ni bruhilda?
walang saysay.
anyway, tungkol sa pagbisita ng mga marcos sa libing ni cory, past is past.
parehong namang naging presidente ng pinas ang mga magulang nila.
sa pinakita ng mga aquino sa mga marcos, pinapakita lamang na sila ay mapagkumbaba at mapagpatawad.

wag naman sabihing past is past… kapag napatay ba ang magulang mo masasabi mo bang past is past? hustisya muna..
hindi ko sinasabi na si marcos mismo ang nagpapapatay, pero sa dinami dami ng sinasabi nilang mastermind.. tulad ni fabian ver o ang mismong kamaganak na si danding cojuangco.. ang tanong kasi sino ba ang namumuno sa kanila nung panahong iyon? sa mga pumatay sino ang namumuno sa kanila? diba kung sino ang namumuno ang dapat sumagot?

i hope this is real, though it seem that the Marcos’ are really sincere in their sympathy with the death of the late great Former president Cory Aquino.
I guess its because of the ” Cory Magic”
I hope the two rival families will reconcile. and maybe soon be friend with each other.

hindi naman impossible ang reconciliation…basta mabigyan ng hustisya si ninoy at malaman at maparusahan ang tunay na may sala.

maganda ehemplo ang pinakita ng mga aquino..hindi sila nambastos sa mga nakiramay..

mahirap talaga tingnan ang sinseridad ng isang tao basta may bahid or sangkot ang pulitika, magandang sign ang pagpunta ng mga anak ng dating diktador, pero sabi ko nga mahirap malaman ang sinseridad.
maganda ang ipinakita ng mga aquino sa pagtanggap ng pakikiramay nila pero hanggang dun lang yon.

Nice to see it (the acceptance of the Aquino family of the Marcoses in the wake) happening.
However, there is one question that has been bothering me through the years. This is only for the sake of discussion, so bear with me.

For years, President Aquino, Mr. Ramos, and Gloria (wag na si Erap) held the highest position in the land as Chief Ex. and Comm-in-Chief. But still, they have no idea who killed Senator Aquino?
Yes, Marcos might be the dictator they say he was. But politics in the nasty sense is making people react in ways that is somehow, in my opinion, lacks strong basis.
Tama si “”fattyacid”". Pero sino ba talaga ang gusto ng sambayanan na marinig na umamin sa pagpatay? The dead corpse in Ilocandia of a former president that could no longer speak, or those in the position who could and should have really known what transpired Aug. 21, 1983?
O titigil lang ba talaga ang ststement na reconciliation with justice pag may nagsabi categorically na si Marcos ang nagpapatay kay Ninoy? Sana, let us all move forward”, but most of all FAIR to the Aquinos and Marcoses.
