What went wrong with Willie’s remarks on TV when footages of Cory’s remains being brought to the Manila Cathedral were aired alongside Wowowee
Sometimes, when one has reached the top, and air has filled his head, he may lose his sense of reason. He forgets that the only way to go when he has reached the peak is down.

Cory Aquino's Prayer for a Happy Death
You alone know the time
You alone know the hour
You alone know the moment
When I shall breathe my last.
So, remind me each day,
most loving Father
To be the best that I can be.
To be humble, to be kind,
To be patient, to be true.
To embrace what is good,
To reject what is evil,
To adore only You.
When the final moment does come
Let not my loved ones grieve for long.
Let them comfort each other
And let them know
how much happiness
They brought into my life.
Let them pray for me,
As I will continue to pray for them,
Hoping that they will always pray
for each other.
Let them know that they made possible
Whatever good I offered to our world.
And let them realize that our separation
Is just for a short while
As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.
You alone are my hope.
You alone are my salvation.
Thank you for your unconditional love.
Amen.

Why millions of Filipinos mourn over Cory’s death
The Filipino people recently lost their beloved former President Cory Aquino due to Cardio-respiratory failure. Tita Cory, as she is fondly called, succumbed to complications of Colon Cancer more than a year after one of her daughters, Kris Aquino, announced in public that her mom had the ailment.At exactly 3:18am of August 1, 2009, Cory finally breathed her last, coinciding with the first Saturday of the month, a day dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to whom she had great devotion to.
Now, why do Filipinos love Cory so much?
We have to remember that when this simple housewife of Ninoy took over the Presidency after Marcos was ousted through People Power, there had been numerous problems associated with her administration, like the coup attempts and blackouts, among others. Then why all this love and affection from the Filipino people?
The answer is simple. Cory was a true person and reflected what all Filipinos are and should be. She was not foolproof. She was unafraid to admit her mistakes and shortcomings, but tried all possible means to make up for each and every single one of them. That is the measure of a true leader. She was never the type who promised and subsequently broke all her promises. She just delivered what she was capable of. The Filipinos will forever be indebted to her. Cory makes me really proud to be a Filipino.

Jennylyn Mercado to star as Jodi in GMA-7’s remake of Stairway to Heaven
Assuming everything remains in place, Jennylyn Mercado is all set to play the role of Jodi in GMA-7’s remake of Stairway to Heaven. She will star opposite Dingdong Dantes who will play Cholo.Despite everything that has happened to her, including being a single mom to Jazz, Jen has remained to be the network’s most bankable star. She joins the few roster of stars given a chance by their fans to make a successful comeback after being out of showbiz for awhile. It can be remembered that Jen was away from the spotlight during her pregnancy with Patrick Garcia’s son.
Aside from her high-rating afternoon soap, her sold-out birthday concert, her soon-to-be-released Coffee Table Book, and the forthcoming primetime remake of STH, Jennylyn has also been recently included by Dra. Vicky Belo among her elite list of endorsers. She will be Belo’s Hot Momma.
(Note from Editor: As of August 25, Rhian Ramos, not Jennylyn, is confirmed to play the role of Jodi.)

How to go to Macau from Hong Kong’s Mong Kok MTR Station through China Ferry Terminal
Once you have passed the immigration counters in Macau, immediately proceed to “Centro”, which is like the city proper. Taxi fares are relatively cheap because Macau is fairly small. Once in Centro, most of the tourist spots are within walking distance. Most of the shops there accept HK$.
After you’ve done your sightseeing, take a taxi back to the ferry terminal bound for Hong Kong. Once back in Tsim Sha Tsui, you may consider looking around first before you take the MTR back to Mong Kok station (via Tsuen Wan line).
Tsim Sha Tsui station is surrounded by various malls where you can find expensive brands such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci.
