the crowd around them at intramuros, 5.41 pm



its 9.07 pm, dark for sure and raining


9.56 pm ... and raining


... and at 1.46 am, well...



2.17 am, taken a mere 9hours 26 minutes after the first picture and finally not so far anymore to the entrance of Manila Cathedral

2.39 am, Mona Polly and Rey on way to the car, others still patiently queuing. They too liked to be part of history and have their few private seconds with President Corazon Aquino. After all, as Tita (auntie) Cory she was family to everybody
