Chorused Prayer after Pres. Cory is Interred

Wherever in the country or in the world we will be at that moment, let's all join the chorused prayer of a grateful nation right after the actual physical interment of former President Corazon Aquino thanking God for giving her to us as a living example of Filipino greatness and excellence, and vowing to persevere in the struggle for freedom. Composed by SanibDasal co-founder Ding Reyes (upon the idea of Galing Pilipino Movement Prsident Erly de Guzman, and in consultation with Kamalaysayan) and immediately sent out through various channels in the Internet, the prayer was also uploaded in this page of http://sanibdasal.8m.net/share.htm.
The prayer says in Filipino:

Isang Sama-samang Panalangin
Pagkatapos ng Paghihimlay kay
Pangulong Corazon C. Aquino

Nagpupugay po kami at nagpapasalamat / kay Ginang Corazon C. Aquino, / dati naming Pangulo, / na Inyong ibinigay sa amin / upang mabuhay nang huwaran / sa kadakilaan at galing ng Pilipino. //
Sa aming paghahatid sa kanya sa hantungang himlayan / ay taos-puso kaming nangangakong / matatag na itutuloy at isusulong pa / ang pagmithi at pagkakamit / ng ganap na kalayaan para sa aming Inang Bayan / na halos limang siglo nang pinaghaharian at sinisikil / ng mga gahamang kabalat at dayuhan. //
Taglay naming lakas / ang Inyong mapagpalang basbas, / at sa ami'y gagabay ang liwanag / ng Inyong Katotohanang Buháy // Nawa'y loobin po Ninyo / na magampanan namin ito. /

Translation:
"We salute and thank Ms. Corazon C. Aquino, our former President, who was Thy gift to us to be our living example of Filipino greatness and excellence.
"Now, as we have brought her to her final resting place, we express our heartfelt collective commitment to firmly persevere and even carry further forward our desire and full attainment of freedom for our Motherland, that has for almost five centuries suffered domination by greedy rulers both native and foreign.
"Thy blessings we shall carry as our strength, and we shall be guided well by Thy own Living Truth.
"Let this be willed for us to get it fulfilled."read MY BLOGS at http://readdingz.blogspot.com & view my books in on-line catalog, http://bookmakers-phils.8m.net. See also http://kamayanforum.8m.net; and http://sanibdasal.8m.net.
