Cory Aquino just died and its all over the news. The outpouring of emotion is extreme and slightly disturbing, sad piano music everywhere, streets in Manila full of mourners in yellow and I can't relate at all. I was born after the People Power movement. A lot of people say she was a good person so I'll take their word for it.
On the day she died, I found out about it looking at the local channel. This popular jackass game show host looked all solemn and announced, on his show to the live and TV audience, that Cory died. Then they burst into tears to sad piano music. He sang a sad song and an hour later it was back to the stupid mind numbing game show shenanigans. Unfortunately, life goes on for the rest of the country.
