The burial of President Cory Aquino took 8 long hours from the expected 2 hours in schedule. I am writing this to praise the 4 courageous guards of Pres. Cory while she is being delivered to her last ‘pitstop’ in Manila Memorial Park – Paranaque. Four officials from the Philippine Navy, Philippine Air Force, Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police patiently stood 8 hours without moving a single joint and without showing any emotion of hunger and thirst. Isa lang ang masasabi ko, saludo po ako sa katatagan ninyo. Inde matatawaran ang paglilingkod na ginawa ninyo para sa mga huling sandali ni Pres. Aquino.

I have learned from TV Patrol earlier that all four of them will receive a special recognition and promotion in their field. Special thanks to Kuya William Du for letting me use his photo.
