She was laid to rest at Manila Memorial. As expected, many came to pay their last respect and attended her funeral. Some even walked all the way from Manila Cathedral to the Manila Memorial.
It was declared a special non-working holiday and we just stayed at home and watched the funeral on TV. The mass started at 9am.
I was preparing for Winter's birthday party and went to SM to buy additional materials for the invitation card. On our way home, Omar went around SM to check if we can take a peek at the funeral cortege. Surprisingly, the service road was open to traffic and we were able to park with a nice view. So we waited until the cortege passed our way. Summer was making the L sign and shouting Laban, while asking me why she have to do it. She was even instructing Omar to do the same. I just told her that when she go to big school and take up history, she will remember the day we brought her there.
People were so energetic and the feeling of pride was so powerful.Thank you Tita Cory!

That's nice of you to share that moment with little Summer, the same way we were exposed to that when we were little.
Oops, I just emailed you my suggestion for Winter's invitation. Guess it's too late now. Sorry!
Not just with Summer, but with Winter too hehehe.
