Former President Corazon Aquino diagnosed with colon cancer

Monday, March 24th, 2008

This is a very sad news. One of the historical figures of our freedom from the hands of a dictator is diagnosed with cancer. Former President Corazon Aquino has been diagnosed with colon cancer, according to her daughter, local celebrity Kris Aquino.

Kris Aquino, fighting tears, read a statement on live television that said her mother had gone in for tests after suffering from high blood pressure and difficulty breathing during the Christmas and New Year holidays, then a persistent cough and weight loss.

“The result showed our mother is suffering from cancer of the colon,” she said.

Let us all pray that she gets well or that she does not suffer that much.
