Bayan Ko Sung by Lea Salonga During Cory Aquino's Funeral



Tears were already streaming down my face the moment Lea Salonga sang Bayan Ko (My Country). It was a very heartfelt and hair-raising rendition. Lea Salonga has made every Filipino proud once again.

I had mixed feelings of sadness because of the former president's passing but I also felt pride once again in being a Filipino. The song was a wake up call, at least for me. I hope that all Filipinos share the same realization as I have after hearing the song. Let us remember that it is for us that Ninoy and Cory fought for democracy. I wouldn't probably be writing a blog in the first place if this country is not democratic. Now that Cory has passed away, we should be the ones who are steadfast in defending our democracy.
