Greatest legacy of Corazon Aquino Part 2
In my previous post entitled “The greatest legacy of Cory Aquino Part 1” I discussed several legacies left by the presidency of Corazon Aquino. I said that I believe her greatest legacy was integrity. Now we continue on why I believe this is so. CORAZON AQUINO’S GREATEST LEGACY – HER INTEGRITY As I said the Aquino administration may not be perfect. In fact there were accusations before that some relatives of Corazon Aquino from the Cojuangco side that were taking advantage of Corazon Aquino’s presidency. Yet none can dare lift a finger and accuse Corazon Aquino personally of any corruption whatsoever. To this day, her integrity remains intact.

The history, music and lyrics of the song “I have fallen in love with the same woman three times.”
In October 11, 1973, while imprisoned by the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. otherwise commonly known as “Ninoy Aquino” wrote a poem for his wife, Cory Aquino entitled “I have fallen in love with the same woman three times.” Popular Filipino businessman –musician Jose Mari Chan gave music to the poem sometime in 1989 and included it in the album “Constant change.” While people appreciated the history and significance of the song, it did not become very popular when it was first released.

People have come to greatly appreciate the song as this makes them remember two of the Philippines most respected icons of democracy.
