I just read from Inquirer.net that former Philippine President Cory Aquino has colon cancer, according to her family:
Former president Corazon Aquino is suffering from colon cancer and is in a hospital, her family said Monday. Aquino’s daughter Kris, a people television host and actress, read a statement on television saying the cancer was discovered when the former president went to have a check up. A weeping Kris, with her brother, Senator Benigno Aquino III beside her, said their family is asking for “compassion and prayers for our Mom’s recovery.”
I hope and pray she comes through this ordeal.
