STATEMENT OF JOEY DE VENECIA III ON THE OCCASION OF PRESIDENT CORY AQUINO’S BIRTHDAY ON JAN 25

I will always be grateful to former President Corazon Aquino for helping me find the strength to endure the hardships of my campaign against the ZTE-NBN scandal. In the midst of her illness, I was blessed that she took time to inquire about my welfare and to patiently listen as I unburdened on her the immense pressure being brought to bear upon me and my family. In that trying time when I was at my lowest ebb and feeling broken down, she inspired me to continue to do what was right and pursue my case against the administration.
Through her advice, I found renewed strength in prayer and in my ties to my family and true friends.
She was the living embodiment of goodness, sacrifice and genuine service to our people. I hope that her spirit of embracing what is right and true will live on and grow in the hearts of all Filipinos.
