I PRAY for former President Corazon Aquino’s speedy recovery.
There are so many [forms of] alternative medicine now that [could] cure colon cancer. A friend was diagnosed with colon cancer and was given only three months to live. She didn’t go for surgery [but] instead changed her diet to vegetables and fruits on top of daily exercises. She’s still alive after almost twenty years.
Mrs. Aquino’s faith is so strong, she will overcome this crisis. There is a herbal medicine found in Thailand called “Peking Grass” which claims to be a cure to all kinds of cancer. There is no harm in trying… it’s herbal. If anyone can pass this on to the family of Mrs. Aquino, it might save her life.

Cory may deserve our prayers but there are more less fortunate people, honest and noble but materially poor who are also afflicted with cancer that needed not only our prayers but our financial help.
Cory being rich and famous is given so much mileage than the poor sick mothers out there in the streets. This tell us how sick this society is. If the rich got sick its like a tragic headline, but if a poor woman got sick its okay and thats part of her fate for being poor. Pwewww…
Will her sickness bring back the lives lost at the Hacienda Luisita massacre???

it’s a medical fact that deep negative emotions trigger many forms of diseases including cancer. to those who write nothing but anger, hatred, name-calling, profanities…..beware! kayo rin!

Pathetic filipino “kuno” not residing in the Philippines like miss perez…. Dont talk as if you are member of our society… you dont have any right… shut up you people… all you think are your own selves thats why you left Philippines because of your ambition for your own selves and here you make comments to a President you dont even know how she has went through just to reverse these society that have never been changed from the time of Marcos…. Cory did not do anything…. she has been just a symbol.. she succeded into presidency not because she have the ability to govern… remember the problems she met before when she was in malacanang… she isnt good also.. so why praise her and wish ill to gloria???
Yah maybe its a Karma also to Gloria for accepting the presidency ruled by mob of the streets… but is it not also a KARMA to Cory why she have the cancer???
Wishing well for Cory and ill for Gloria does not fit…. I rather let Cory vanish for she cannot anymore govern, she will never be able to sit anymore as President.. if Gloria dies chaos I see….
So please Inquirer… stop posting blogs with topics coming from people abroad talking about the Philippines…. Instead post openions from people here… they know better and they have more right than these expats fake.

President Corazon Aquino is a woman of courage, strong faith and great conviction on what she believes in.
I wish her well and full recovery from her ailment. There’s no doubt she will survive this trial,as the Filipino people still needs her presence, leadership and guidance.
My prayers for her and her children.

I am deeply saddened by the news of our former President Cory’s medical condition. I do pray she will survive that. I am confident she will.
Though I am no longer living in the country but I still check from time to time some news home. I absolutely agree with Mr. de Quiros. You are a genius to give such a colorful contrast yet very true to the core. It’s a shame we end up having such current President who thinks she is an impress or something but too bad no matter how she tried to live in it…she’s far too short to be in that status. I bet even herself couldn’t be convinced that’s why she has to try every possible way to look like one. She may enjoy that for the time being but I believe in karma. She will pay her dues dearly if not in her time in her generation. I wonder if she will be proud to face her grandchildren being known to the world the corrupt official ever seated as Philippine president. Such a laughing stock if not pathetic.
But one thing for sure (hope that person will come soon)..there will be another Mrs. Cory Aquino (or better than her) who would lead our country with honesty and dedication. I am praying for that always like most Filipinos whichever part of the world they are.
As long as there is life…there is always hope.
God speed to all Filipinos and the Philippines.
Cheers!
