Why 1,575 haikus? Because my darlingest Annelies Marie Frank lived 15.75 years in this world.

Tita Cor

The heart of Country
is our unity, our Peace -
t'is worth defending!

Our Republic has
a heart, tita, you restored -
may we remember!

Thy heart of
unity.

Maria Corazon Sumulong Cojuangco-Aquino (19330125-20090801 peaceably recalled by God, of natural causes) 11th President of the one Republic of the Philippines, a most honorable Filipino statesman, heart of the EDSA Revolution, Icon of Democracy, wife, mother, inspiration - via con Dios!

Today is the 2nd year anniversary of her passing...

She may not be perfect, this is true. But without her, as one can plainly observe in our world today, we would find ourselves in a very different place in time.

An Office is a lineage of persons.

May we truly let go of the sins of our nation's past, may Justice abide in our Republic that good may flourish and evil fade away, may the LORD, our God, forgive us and release our present generations from the pain of all our past hurts, may He grant us peace. AMEN.

Corazon is Spanish for "heart".
