MODEL PARAGRAPH
The late former President Cory Aquino and her son Noynoy, at
their Times Street residence in February 2006, heatedly
debated her resolve to intercede during the Marine standoff at
the then Fort Bonifacio. Noynoy, on whose lap fell the
reponsibility of looking after his mother after his father
Ninoy was assassinated, was determined to keep her out of the
fray, especially then when she was no longer president. Cory,
however, remained obstinate as she unequivocally expressed her
determination to proceed to Fort Bonifacio. Noynoy vehemently
tried to dissuade her, citing grave danger and the volatility
of the situation there. Furtheremore, he warned that tthose
whose inside Fort Bonifacio were not exactly friendly forces
and those outside were no less hostile than those besieged.
But Cory stuck to her guns and declared, Everything is
simple. My duty is to avert bloodshed at all cost. Help me.
Thus, Cory the ex-Commander-in-Chief prevailed upon Noynoy to
escort her to Fort Bonifacio. There, the combatants seethed
with anger. Calmly, Cory wedged herself between the
protagonist, pulled out her rosary, and began to pray. Before
long, the simmering confrontation was miraculously defused.
Cory Aquino, who fearlessly staked her life to effect peaceful
change serenely rested on the power of the Almighty, fully
realizing her own powerlessness.
