These are scenes from the 4 days we covered the Cory wake and finally, the funeral. The flowers waving in the air was taken in Makati, along Ayala Avenue.Kinda reminiscent of the EDSA days huh? And the old lady with a box (security must have looked inside and found it stuffed with nothing dangerous) stood for hours in the rain just to get a glimpse of Cory at the Manila Cathedral. A relative fo Cory walked up to her to say thank you. Also, it was hard to get to the Cathedral loft so we could do topshots of the transfer of Cory’s coffin to the hearse outside. It was supposed to be “exclusive” for the wires but E told us where the stairs were. It was too early that day, no one stopped us when we stationed ourselves at the loft on Cory’s funeral day. The lesson is never give up when told, YOU CAN’T. :)
