MANILA, Philippines — “God is heeding our prayers,” Deedee Siytangco, spokesperson of Corazon “Cory” Aquino said Friday as Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim hoped for a miracle for the ailing former president, now battling colon cancer at the Makati Medical Center where she has been confined since June.

“Apparently all our prayers are being heard. She’s in a stable condition and is not dependent on any life support system. That’s what I was told,” Siytangco told reporters after the healing Mass for Aquino at Manila City Hall.

Lim announced that the Masses originally organized for only a week would continue “as long as President Aquino is in the hospital.”

Except that Cory died at 3:18 AM. What were you saying about your imaginary friend again?
