JULY 27 to 29. Bagama't unti-unti nang nanghihina si Tita Cory ay nananatiling malakas ang puso nito.
"You know, from July 27 to 29, she was defying all medical science. They were telling us, dapat at this point, kidneys are shutting down. Dapat at this point, mas erratic na yung heart. You know, she was holding on. Ganun ka-strong yung heart ng mom."
Isa rin sa dumalaw kay Tita Cory, ang kaibigan nitong si dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada. Matatandaang nagkabanggaan sa pulitika ang dalawa dahil isa si Tita Cory, kasama ang dating Bise Presidenteng si Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sa mga nanguna para mapatalsik sa liderato si Erap. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat simula nang kalabanin ni Tita Cory ang ngayon ay si Pangulong Arroyo. Naging kaalyansa ng oposisyon si Tita Cory at humingi pa ng 'sorry' kay Erap sa ginawa nitong pakikibahagi sa pagpapatalsik sa kanya. Simula noon ay naging magkaibigan na silang dalawa.
"I want to share this because I respect this man so much now. Nakiusap si President Erap sa pamilya kung puwede siyang dumalaw. And people close to both our families said, okay lang sa kanila, pero kung puwede tahimik na lang. And he understood. Dumaan siya sa basement. Umikot siya. And when media asked him kung nakausap niya ang mom or kung nakapasok siya. He said, 'Nilabas lang ako ni Noy at ni Kris'. That's not true. We allowed him inside. But I think he wanted to give our family that privacy. And I want to say thank you for that because ayaw niyang malagay siguro sa alanganin ang pamilya na mabigyan ng political color. But the fact that he chose to say it that way made me appreciate him so much. Maraming salamat po.
"He told me na, 'Alam mo, Kris, yung first conversation namin ng mom mo nung bago akong senador at presidente siya, tinanong niya ako, 'Senator, do you think okey lang na payagan kong mag-artista si Kris?' And then sinabi niya raw sa mom na, 'Maganda naman po. Mukha naman pong may talent. At mukhang gusto siya ng tao. So, payagan n'yo na po.'
"That was the first time he shared that story with me. And I just told him, 'You know, you've been so good to mom. Quietly, you've been so good. Mom was one of those who attended the forefront na ma-oust siya, but, sa kanya, he reached out. Almost linggo-linggo may pagkain siyang pinadadala. Quietly, Boy. Lumaki yung respeto ko kasi nirespeto niya kami bilang pamilya. When mom needed a friend, he was a friend. Kaya maraming salamat sa buong pamilya nila."
JULY 30. Inasikaso ni Kris ang problema niya sa kanyang mother studio, ang ABS-CBN, tinext niya ang mga nakatampuhan niyang ABS-CBN executives na sina Cory Vidanes at Deo Endrinal para dumalaw kay Tita Cory dahil parang nararamdaman ng dating Pangulo na may iniintindi pang problema ang bunsong si Kris.
"July 30, I texted Tita Cory Vidanes. I texted Deo and I said, 'I think mom's holding on kasi hindi pa tayo okey. Please come. Let's put this behind us. I know you love me and I'm sorry. And I'd like you to be able to talk to mom to reassure her'. Dumating si Tita Cory, dumating si Deo. Immediately nakausap nila ang mom.
"And I want to say thank you. I want to say thank you to my ABS-CBN family for all of these. Thank you for the tribute. Thank you for the hard work. Thank you for giving my mom so much importance. Thank you for understanding me. Thank you for making us feel, my whole family, na family tayo talaga."
JULY 31. Unti-unti nang bumibigay ang vital signs ni Tita Cory.
"July 31, kasi 11 a.m. nag-start mag-fluctuate yung vital signs ng mom. They have to change the machine kasi they thought baka something is wrong with the machine. Because para talagang the heart rate, biglang magdya-jump ng 130, babagsak to 70, magna-90. Para talagang roller-coaster na hindi mo maintindihan. So, I called Noy. I said, 'Noy, I think you should come'. Kasi siya yung pinakamalayo.
"Four p.m. we had mass. Nabuo lahat ng kapatid ng mom. Her two older siblings, my Uncle Pete [Pedro Cojuangco] and my Auntie Jo came. Uncle Joe and Auntie Passy were there. Eleven o' clock [p.m.] nag-aalisan na yung iba, and I said, magsi-siesta ako and I'm setting my alarm to 3 in the morning para 3 onwards ako.And after midnight nag-alisan yung iba because sinabing mukhang okey na, nag-i-stabilize."
AUGUST 1. Ang araw ng kamatayan ni Tita Cory. Dito nagpakita ng katatagan si Kris, hindi niya iniwan ang ina hanggang sa maiayos ito sa kanyang kabaong.
"At 2:30 [a.m.], Boy, ginising kami. Sinabi, parang iba na. Alam mo yung before there would be peaks. Ganun pala yun na as you're nearing death, nagiging parang hills. Nawawala yung peak, nagiging pabilog. Until lumalaki nang lumalaki yun.
"So, Ate said, 'Let's start praying'. Nagbihis ako, naghilamos ako. We are praying the rosary. And it was the last mystery... nagsimula kami with Joyful hanggang Sorrowful. Yung last mystery ng Sorrowful, dun nag-umpisa na talagang pahina nang pahina.

12:29 PM I saw this interview with Kris, and considering her credibility, I didn't even flinch. No one should loose parents. But the way she was acting, it was too OA. For someone who had done nothing but give her own mother heartaches, she's acting holier than thou art! Please, Kris, enough!
======================================
As if nakita mo lahat ng ginawa ni kris sa nanay nya.. you are one of those who are binded, that you only see the badside of a person.. and you dont see the goodside of her.. nakakaawa ka nakikita mo ang maliit na mantsa sa isang tao pero ang maraming kabutihan na nagawa nya binalewala mo..
Why are you blaming Kris? She was just the spokesperson for the entire family. The sentiments are theirs and theirs alone. They are entitled to their own reasons.
Sigaw ka pa ng sigaw dyan. Walang batas na nag sasabi na kailangang may state funeral ang former president.
But Malacanang disregarded the privilege accorded every former president of any country except those under dictatorship to have security service provided for the rest of their lives, by taking away the 2 security staff assigned to Pres. Cory while she was still alive. That is why they are now scrambling to save face by offering a state funeral. Remember: Kris and her family were given a Choice. It is a matter of Choice. Which means they have the option to either say Yes or No to the offer of having a state funeral for Pres. Cory.
Their decision is not of childishness but because they know with or without a state funeral, the Filipino people will accord Pres. Cory the h

really?!.. ibang meaning ng stargazer.. totoo nga siguro ang sins na sinasabi ni kris...
napa research tuloy ako sa stargazer flower..hehehe
Kahit d ko na witness ang pinag daanan Ni Madam Cory.. I can see things clearly thru Kris' narrative. I can visualize the pain, and hardships she is been through and as if I also see the smile when she saw her husband.
Thank You so much for the love you gave to Filipino people.
