Cory’s final parade in Ayala

Posted by beingKirei on

For the last time, ex-President Cory Aquino paraded along Ayala Avenue. Yellow confetti dropped before, during, and after she passed by…and maybe, just maybe, for generations to come.

I started this digital journal initially for self-expression -- because this is what I do. I write for my profession and for my passion. Then it dawned on me that what I was doing was selfish. I found new inspiration in Proverbs 31:8: Speak for those who cannot speak; seek justice for all those on the verge of destruction. Through the years, I have met people from various walks of life with stories that deserve to be told. Unfortunately, not all of them have the gift of gab. So I presented myself to them, giving them the voice that they need to share their stories. Stories that inspire, cry out, reach out, provide unspoken truth.
