Today (August 1, 2015) marks the 6th death anniversary of former President Corazon C. Aquino. The Aquino family headed by President Benigno “NoyNoy” Aquino III held Mass on Saturday at the Manila Memorial Park.
On her Instagram account, daughter Kris Aquino posted a number of her late mom”s photos with the following caption:
“6 years ago, almost to this hour, our Mom went to heaven… The 5 of us grew even closer since we lost her, I think because we all realized we just have each other. We’re not a perfect family, but we’ve really been blessed because we continue to make a conscious effort to support, appreciate, and be there for each other.
The 1st portrait is an Amorsolo, dated 1954- our dad’s 21st birthday gift to our Mom. The 2nd portrait is by Ang Kiukok dated 1972, our dad’s birthday gift to our mom when she turned 39. Both are w/ me in my home because I asked our Mom for them… The black & white picture my sisters found in our home in Times when they were sorting through our Mom’s things, it’s my favorite because I was a cutie & Bimb & I really look alike in this shot, and the last picture was from our last family Christmas card w/ our Mom in 2008…
To all of you who comment that you admire me as a Mom to Kuya & Bimb, it’s because I had the best role model in my Mom. And the best tribute I can give her is to continue working hard to provide a good life for my sons, while making sure that they know that they have my unconditional love & lifelong devotion.
To all of you who loved our mom & love our family, MARAMING SALAMAT PO”
