Cory made a statement saying sorry to ERAP for her joining the uprising (EDSA II) that causes the former Presidents demise.

Cory is now a private person; whatever she says is her opinion and no one should criticize her for that.

If you don't like what she says, either ignore it or don't vote for her.

BTW, Erap is still alive and definitely Cory had no hand in his demise.

"Politics is the means for attaining valued things. Although, valued things are different in every society, the means of securing those things has never changed. The competition for power, authority and influence will always be the backbone of politics."

People don't necessarily share the same political views. I may not know the real reason why did Cory said sorry to Erap after joining EDSA 2. Admitting someone's mistake and apologizing about it publicly and face the probability of humiliation on her behalf and her family...for me, it means she meant every word she said. And is a darn big reason why she should not have said it in the first place (i probably wouldn't).

You stated that: "Whatever you say will reflect on your personality"= i disagree on that one, as I don't believe that when someone who always does bible preaching, will always practice what he preach. Saying sorry doesn't make a person weak. It reflects our true nature, that we are human after all and capable of getting in touch with our emotion.

If i had heard her say it on national t.v. , will more likely make me admire her...not for washing her hands nor getting an attention, but for her courage of admitting it rather unexpectedly.

personal views ni Tita Cory yon pero come to think of it...halos lahat ng kamay na gumalaw sa Edsa 2...hindi ba nila feel na magpa-sorry ngayon? tignan mo kung ano ang nangyari sa bansa natin ngayon dahil sa Edsa 2...dapat dinaan nila sa tamang proseso ang pagpaparusa kay Erap...pero hindi..dinaan nila sa santong paspasan...tsk..tsk... karamihan ngayon nagsisisi kung bakit inupo nila ang isang presidente na nagpapahirap sa kanila ngayon...

Walang sorry! sorry! Dapaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! hehehehe....

Well..kapatid di ko ito napanood.. pero kung nag-sorry..sign of reconciliation lang siguro.. lam mo na...feeling niya siguro nagkamali talaga siya before. Nagpa- national tv talaga ang lola natin sa paghingi ng makabagbag-damdaming sorry kasi national tv rin naman ang pag-appear niya against Erap kaya ayos lang 'yun. QUITS na. Pero sana lang wala ng endorsement si Tita Cory para maging presidente ulet si Erap noh..utang na loob at labas....

Cory Aquino said: "I am one of those who feels guilty for the 2001 [Edsa Dos]....Lahat naman tayo nagkakamali, patawarin mo na lang ako."

These were uttered in her impromptu speech during the launch of the book, Global Filipino: The Authorized Biography of Jose de Venecia Jr.

Personally, this statement is an act of courage, just when were we ever happy to admit our mistakes? It takes a lot of courage to swallow our pride and admit we have made a mistake even to ourselves, how much more to make it on public television. What she did was not an act or a sign of weakness. It takes great courage to admit one has failed and it takes great strength to risk rejection and shield oneself from people’s I TOLD YOU SO lashings.

I never liked Corazon Aquino as president, I have always found the Marcos regime interesting and I am not a fan of her husband as well, he was dying anyway, he just chose his death, die a hero or die of cancer (libel? haha)…perhaps Cory could stage her assassination too and next thing we know Kris Aquino is our president, haha! Filipinos awe me, Pilipino ako, and yes, I am amazing,, haha!

ahy kuya,,,let's not forget Gloria Arroyo, and her famous I AM SORRY on television regarding the Garci tapes...

let's not forget Bill Clinton, on the Monica Lewinsky case either... haha!

and recently president elect of USA Obama apologized to former first lady Nancy Reagan regarding his comment on "seances" in the white house seat.

Subalit dapatpwat ngunit...it is a gesture so sincere that it makes you want to kiss her feet..ahaha!

nononono,lolo Eric,,,, I, JELLE am SORRY for misleading the readers of this forum...i would like to reiterate, i am not weak for saying I am sorry, haha! it was a brainological error.. lol

she said I am sorry regarding the ZTE Deal, during the heated arguments regarding the authenticity of the Garci Tapes,
i do not know if all Philippine channels broadcasted it simultaneously though, but she said it in slow
motion....I.....AM....SORRY....as if the pauses would make her look sincere... haha! i wanted to throw myself at the television screen when i saw that, i feel my eyes zooming in on her mole or is that a wart and i was very tempted to snatch it off her face..just to hurt her...haha! i don't hate her, i just don't like her...haha!

I never really liked politics.. Madumi kasi ang palakaran. Active lang ang karamihan, let's say about 99.9%, kapag malapit na eleksyon. Ipinamumukha nila yung mga projects nila nung sila ang nanunungkulan pero kung iisipin mo it's their duty to do those things, kaya nga natin sila ibinoto.

We always hear them say "Kapag ako ang ibinoto nyo gagawin ko ito.. yung ganyan.." and the likes. Nagiging matalino na ang mga Pinoy about our political system pero syempre madaling pasunurin ang tao kapag nababayaran. But Influential people like her, sad to say influential sya.. but it's true, can change the Philippines future.. OUR future, just like what happened last 2001, EDSA 2. Now yung mga kakampi ng Presidente NYO ngayon (LOL!, teka.. baka ma-libel ako!) kumakalaban na rin sa kanya but sad to say she really has a strong grip on her seat of power.

All of you commended her for her sincere apology.. maybe I wasn't looking at it as the same way. But still for me politicians like her should have firm belief on what they fought for.. yung may paninindigan. Not doing one thing and saying sorry afterwards. HINDI LARO ANG POLITIKANG PILIPINO or any politics for that matter.

May point si kuya Franz74 (tama bang tawaging kuya? hehehe!) Hindi lang dapat kay Erap sya nag-sorry kundi sa Filipino people as well.

... I was just thinking... Kung buhay pa kaya si Cardinal Sin would he say SORRY also to Erap just like what Cory did?...
Just a thought....
