"So, nung Thursday, July 2, we were moved already permanently to a room at the 9th floor of Makati Med. Yung nutrional feeding kinontinue. 'Tapos, siguro dahil dun sa comment ko about needing money, my mom said, 'Tawagan mo si Ate, ha. Make sure na lahat ng tao sa Times [Street sa Quezon City, kung saan located ang bahay ni Tita Cory] nasuwelduhan. And make sure na yung mga allowance ng mga guard niya nabigay.
"That's what kind of person my mom is. Everybody who has worked for our family, years ang tinagal. May 47 years. Her driver, Noli, was there since I was four. So, that's 34 years. Her two closest bodyguards, si Mel in particular, was with her sa Malacañang. So, parang sinisigurado pa niya na make sure kumpleto yung allowance na nakuha nila."
JULY 3. Binisita si Tita Cory ng kanyang mga kapatid.
"July 3, Friday, was the birthday ng Lolo Pepe [Don Jose Chichioco Cojuangco, Cory's father] ko. So, pumunta ang Auntie Passy [Maria Paz Cojuangco-Teopaco], pumunta si Auntie Jo [Josephine Cojuangco-Reyes] at si Uncle Joe [former Cong. Jose S. Cojuangco, Jr.]. Mom was trying to tell them na, 'Uy, I'm better, tingnan n'yo yung fluid sa tiyan ko kumokonti.'
"I left with them, but the nurse told Ate, when I left with my aunts and my uncle, mom turned and started crying. She never wanted anyone of us to see her cry, Boy. And at that point, I knew na she wanted her siblings to still see na matapang siya, na kinakaya niya."
JULY 4. Ito raw ang isa sa masasayang araw nina Kris with Tita Cory. Kahit nasa ospital ito ay hindi siya nakakalimot sa kanyang mga mahal na apo. Patunay nga ito ng pagiging mabuting lola ni Tita Cory.
"Noong July 4, Saturday, this was one of our happy memories. The kids were with me the whole day. And sinabi ng mom, 'Si Josh, marunong nang mag-behave, pero yung maliit ang ingay talaga.' Kasi si Baby James, kept trying to wake her up, 'Lola, lola!' So, yun talaga yung innocence of childhood talaga.
"I remember then na when we first found out that she was sick, she said na, 'I want to be around for the first birthday of Baby James,'" wika ni Kris habang unti-unti nang nagka-crack ang kanyang boses. "And if people remember, it was during that celebration that she was able to thank everybody because that was about one month before we revealed she has cancer. And then, pinilit niya talaga na she was okay for the second birthday.
"But for Josh's 14th birthday, nagka-dengue yung mga anak. And because they were sick, they couldn't be with mom. But for our last time together, she made sure na may cake si Josh na mabo-blow nung dalawa. We would hear mass kasi sa Meralco. It was near Green Meadows. And it was a belated birthday celebration for Josh. And... yung parang sabi ng mom na mag-order ng food carts na favorite ni Josh. That's what kind of lola she was. And then she was so concerned about my nephew Miguel, who was a fresh graduate, getting a good job. She was so proud of Jiggy nung na-promote sa Nestlé."
JULY 5. Nang unang magsalita si Kris sa The Buzz tungkol sa totoong kalagayan ni Tita Cory. Sa araw ring ito naging masaya si Tita Cory para sa bagong endorsement ni Kris.
"July 5, Sunday, that was when nabahagi ko sa lahat what we were going through. I told everybody how grateful we were. But I said, sana maintindihan n'yo kung hindi muna kami magkuwento ng lahat.
"After that, I went home, I took a shower, nag-pictorial ako for Eight O'Clock. The next day nag-shoot ako ng commercial. And super happy ang mom, kasi like sabi niya na every new commercial daw, she would feel na parang... alam mo naman sa bayan natin, Boy, pag may endorsement ka, you're a big deal. So, parang sinasabi ng mom na pag nalalaman niya na may bago akong endorsement, nase-secure siya for me. So, July 6, I shot the commercial."
JULY 7. Nang makapag-set na ng schedule si Kris at ang kanyang mga kapatid para sa pagbabantay at pag-aalaga kay Tita Cory sa ospital.
"July 7, I went to the supermarket, I went to SnR, namili ako ng gamit para hindi na ako ever kailangang magpabili ng kape. Nagdala na ako ng coffee maker sa loob ng kuwarto niya.
"And our schedule was set, nag-ayusan kami na Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday night, dun ako natutulog. Thursday umuuwi ako, si Noy ang nagte-take over. Friday hanggang Buzz [Sunday], hindi na naman ako umaalis. And then my sisters would take turns during daytime. We had mass, July 7."






The whole thing has been so solemn and executed with dignity. Add that to the fact that there was no sight of Boy Abunda, Ruffa G, Annabelle Rama, and family anywhere and anytime at all. There is a God!!! Kris, please keep doing The Buzz wthout Ruffa..i can tolerate abunda but maybe as a recurring guest. Choose someone fresh and i'll watch you till the day you are not on the show anymore. Enough of your annoying, emptyheaded co-hosts..you inform us, they on the other hand, expound as if we are emptyheaded. I p u k e everytime i see them. I know this is inappropriate but i couldn't resist it.

ANg tunay na may pusong Kapamilya!!!
THE BEST TALAGA PEP AND PLS PLS UPDATE
She is the mother of Democracy and advocate of peace..
During her time as pres. I read an article that she dont want to stay in Malacanang but because of security reason and traffic prob she was forced to live in the palace. but she opted to stay at the guest house not in the main palace.
So maybe in her death she dont want to be there. Without having a state funeral we still can Honor her. In fact she was already honored by the Filipino people seeing the long line of people sacrifising just to see her ang many people stayed in the heat of the sun yesterday just to see her coffin on her way to Manila Cathedral.
At least naman, maski hindi STATE FUNERAL, people are showering their love to her sa streets and everywhere. So bakit pa kailangan ng state funeral?
I AM A FILIPINO AND SOBRANG PROUD AND TALAGA NAMANG NAKAKATUWA ANG MGA PINAPAKITA NG MGA KABABAYAN NATIN KAY TITA CORY LALO NA YUNG NANGYARI NUNG MONDAY. MAPAPANTAYAN BA NG STATE FUNERAL ANG HEART-WARMING NA NANGYARI KAHAPON SA PROCESSION SA MANILA CATHEDRAL?
You are fussing over small things naman... geez!
I am FILIPINO wanting a STATE FUNERAL for a well-honored FORMER PRESIDENT. Giving a STATE FUNERAL means THE STATE or the FILIPINOS giving honor to their former president, which is just proper for every former president. The issue here is not politics and personal issues against a certain person like GMA. It is not a funeral being given by GMA but BY THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES. The reasons GIVEN BY KRIS AQUINO are very CHILDISH.
CORY AQUINO, deserves A STATE FUNERAL . A PROPER FUNERAL given by the FILIPINO PEOPLE and as a Filipino citizen, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASK THAT IT BE GIVEN TO HER !!!!
