MANILA, Philippines – Family, friends, and allies of the late former president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III gathered together in a solemn Holy Mass to mark the first year since his passing, remembering the legacy of good governance he left behind.
Just outside the church’s doors, Aquino’s longtime household staff Yolly Yebres helped man a booth where caps and ballers bearing Aquino’s face and name were made available for guests to get for free. In his homily, Jesuit priest Jose Ramon Villarin, former Ateneo president, likened the meaning of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to a life lived in service of others.
“A year ago, our hearts fell apart when Noynoy breathed his last. But we returned him to our Creator with gratitude for the blessing that he was: a simple, honest, self-effacing, and decent Filipino who gave his all without fanfare when he was tasked to serve his bosses,” said Cruz. “President Noy’s love for our country and our people, especially the poor and the marginalized, is unquestionable. In the face of a planet in emergency mode, a chaotic political environment, wars in different places, disinformation and misinformation and a heavily fractured society, we ask for President Noy’s prayers that Ateneo and Ateneans become true beacons of God’s love and light in our world,” said Yap.
