Rest in peace.

I had the good fortune to meet President Aquino twice, once in 1996 and once in 1997. At the first meeting I was running the media equipment for her meeting with the University of Oregon Philippine-American Student Association. My boss gave me one instruction: Make sure to get her autograph. She was clearly tired (especially since every member of the Association wanted an autograph) but was nonetheless a good sport, and finally signed for the media tech. For the second meeting, she gave a guest lecture to a twenty-student Political Science course in which I was enrolled. She was Good People. I also remember that she was extraordinarily small. In terms of her political activity, she was dealt a very difficult hand, but her contribution to Philippine democracy will, I think, endure.
