i’ve been told that my strength is inspiring. But the TRUTH is, what you see in me is a mere reflection of the selfless COURAGE my parents possessed. i know my Dad well enough that he will be smiling at this statement- some have mistakenly claimed to understand my psychological makeup because i mostly grew up without a father figure present in my life. Obviously hindi nila ama ang nag-iisang Ninoy Aquino because he was larger than life; in the 3 years and 3 months of being blessed to have a normal home life in the US, he gave me simple memories that i now know were EXTRAORDINARY because for me, his BUNSO, he did his best for us to get to know each other, to communicate openly, and he not only acknowledged but strengthened my confidence in my completeness as a person. There is no doubt my mom was wise enough to prepare me for life’s harsh realities, but my dad showed me that our hearts should DREAM because deep within our souls is the knowledge we wouldn’t have dared pursue something that God had not already predestined because in the end it will all be a matter of FATE & FAITH. Benigno S. Aquino Jr. NINOY AQUINO 27 November 1932-21 August 1983

Kuya Josh has 2 songs of tito willie on repeat mode: Ikaw Na Nga and Kung Para sa ‘Yo. ate natchie took these videos of the 2 walking hand in hand this morning so i’d see kuya’s happiness. the material generosity from willie is much appreciated, pero ito po yung nagpatunaw sa puso ko bilang mama ni kuya josh, dahil ang super favorite nyang si tito willie— binigyan sya ng buong umagang bonding... sabay sila nag breakfast, nag walking, and nag swimming... it brings to mind this Maya Angelou quote: PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU SAID, PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU DID, BUT PEOPLE WILL NEVER FORGET HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL. ngayon na uncertain ang panahon, lahat tayo may dalang kaba sa ating mga puso, seeing my panganay’s smile made me realize, when given the chance- let’s choose to love, choose to share, and choose to be kind. 🤍🤍🤍

mahaba pa ang laban, pero hindi masamang magpasalamat. 1st time na kaming 3 lang, kuya josh, bimb, and me... naghanap ng mga kaibigan dito and thank God Alvin & Rochelle found us some of the kindest people. I praise God, the pediatrician, Dr delos Reyes checked bimb again- upper respiratory infection & bronchial asthma. No pneumonia, no fever, pero matamlay kasi maraming gamot na iniinom. Tinutulungan ako ni Check & Randy (from willie), ni ate Loida & her family, ni nurse Mona, and the very kindhearted Mayor of Puerto Galera, Mayor Rocky Ilagan. Maraming salamat sa staff ng resort na tinutuluyan namin (i’ll name the place & share pics pag okay na). And thank you sa mga taga Mercury na tumutulong talaga para mahanap ang maintenance na gamot ko. Sobrang mabait & welcoming ng mga taga Puerto Galera- sa lockdown na ito they have made us feel secure, welcomed & cared for. God bless you all. I pray for all our healthcare workers. Many have become my close friends & i salute their heroic efforts. Romans 8:NIV [28] And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
