HINDI AKO NAG-IISA!

I know it's too much, but last night I prayed to God, I asked him to show up to heal tatay.

Little did I know, God has proven and shown himself to me. In the person of Senator Noynoy. The rest of the nation believes in him, and by him, people will pray...

Our prayers will reach God.


I always believe in God. I know I've seen God. I have experienced God.

And I want the whole nation to be close to God through prayers.

Now, I do believe, HINDI AKO NAG-IISA......

Please pass and pray for Tatay.

My open letter was closed. Sealed with a kiss.

As we always believe... this man will never ever disappoint us.

Tatay's wish was granted. Noynoy visited him here in the hospital. It only goes to show what kind of man he is.. a very good-hearted one.

Tatay was shocked seing Senator Noynoy. But we were more shocked when tatay tried to sit after being bed ridden for 4 days. The smile in his face - PRICELESS.

God bless this man... I am so proud I have chosen and will forever support him.
But there are two people up there far more proud than anybody else - Mr. & Mrs. Aquino.

My blog is a living testimony that simple people like us, are worth of his attention and sympathy. Tatay said: "Hindi mo na kailangan pang ikampanya"

No doubt.
A hero was born.

My open letter was closed. Sealed with a kiss.

AN OPEN LETTER TO NOYNOY


Excuse me for using ALL CAPS as a subject. I just wanted to catch your attention,honestly. But as expected, this letter might be sent, but not read.

I am very eager to do this very impossible task. And will do everything just to make our lolo happy.

When Ninoy Aquino died- very strong and driven, my lolo was there on the streets with the rest of the country
.
When Mrs Corazon Aquino became the president- happy & very proud,my lolo was there as a very obedient citizen.

When Mrs President died - still strong but grieving, my lolo, went again to the streets to show his love & respect to the late president.

August 21, 2009- On Ninoy's death anniversary, my lolo together with his wife, his son, his daughter-in-law and five of his grandchildren went to Manila Memorial Park to visit Mr & Mrs Aquino's grave. Just a few months ago, when my lolo was still very very strong.

My lolo, 63, can hardly earn a living, but still, he has chosen to serve the community by being a barangay tanod. While my lola enjoys selling dry goods in her little store near the market.

Just 4 days ago, he was confined at Makati Medical center. In general, we are told that my lolo has a multiple organ malfunction. First, his liver, and then, his kidney.. and so on.

Just 4 hours ago, we were in the hospital's hallway... praying & crying for help just hearing the bad news... The doctors said, our beloved lolo was diagnozed with cancer, and like any other cancer, it has it's order - in the 4th stage. But not like any other typical scene, we were not informed on how many days, weeks, months, or years will our lolo live.

Of course, lolo didn't know yet anything about this. But he can feel it. He got a little curious why our eyes swell. and why do we look so sad. we just told him, we're happy.

Little did we know, "Tatay" as we call him, caught our attention. He said he wanted us to vote for Noynoy, not anybody else, he feels like he has a little attachment with the family, though he knows no one can ever appreciate all his loyal efforts, unless the family would found out. We just cried. This cannot be it. The usual last request from a cancer patient seen on movies. We don't claim it. Cancer is just a name.. All names bow down to God.

Reality bites. The least that we can can do is make him happy. He wanted to meet Noynoy in person. He wanted to see & meet the Aquino family.

From the very hectic schedule of Mr. Noynoy Aquino, we understand that this request might be a bit impossible. Well, at least we tried.

Tatay expected to see the Aquinos... I know it cannot, in any way, heal or make his illness disappear. But all of us would be glad seeing him happy and contented that his wish was granted.

I am afraid, this will be his last request in this world. I will be, and we will be more happy If his wish will come true, while surviving cancer and he would carry this happiness as long as he lives. I know God will make a way. God Bless!!
