Cory Aquino is well and is in a stable condition. This after being rushed a few days ago to the Makati Medical Center. According to her youngerst daughter, ABS-CBN star Kris Aquino, Cory is recovering well, thanks to the prayers of her numerous friends. The former president is now recuperating in one of the hospital's rooms after spending a day or two at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Cory is fighting colon cancer. She underwent surgery a few weeks back. The operation was a success. However, last week, the icon of Philippine democracy complained of stomach pains and lack of appetite. Her son, Senator Noynoy Aquino was the one who decided to rush her to Makati Medical Center.
Friends attended the third day out of nine days novena for the recovery and rehabilitation of the former president. Everybody is praying for the swift recovery of Cory Aquino, including soldiers accused of killing her husband, Philippine martyr Ninoy Aquino in 1983.
Cory is the most loved Philippine president. She led the march against former strongman Ferdinand Marcos and managed the country's transition from dictatorship to democracy. Inspite of calls for her to remain in power, Cory decided to retire and gave way to her Defense chief, Fidel V. Ramos.
Her last public appearance was during the anti-charter change rally in Makati last year where she gave a speech denouncing the rampant graft and corruption of the Arroyo administration.
