If America has the Kennedys, here we have our own.. the Aquino/Cojuangco.
The heroism and martyrdom of Ninoy or the simplicity and integrity of Cory, made the country a proud one again. Rising from the ruins of of martial law and dictatorship. They have both given their lives to the the country that they love and people that love them in return.
Maeve Kennedy, grandchild of RFK, said in an interview.. to whom much is given much is expected in return. Same words that I heard from President Aquino's daughter, Kris. It is so true.
The legacy of Ninoy and Cory lies in the hands of the younger Aquinos-their children
And their legacy still will continue with the iPod/Facebook/Twitter generation of Aquino grandchildren.

Kennedy Legacy and the Future Kennedys
It's sad as another Kennedy has died. Senator Edward Kennedy succumbed to brain cancer yesterday. A few weeks ago Eunice Kennedy passed away. It's just so poignant how so many love them. The Kennedys has given their whole lives to public service. I mean, what is American politics without the Kennedys? What would be the political arena without a Kennedy? It would be hollow. Empty of inspiration.
But for every sadness there is a silver lining of hope...the future Kennedy Generation.
There's the the 40's and 50's young Kennedys to continue legacy. They are John, Robert, Edward and Eunice's children as younger Kennedys continue service to the country
There's the this Facebook /iPod generation of Kennedys. The notion of service still deep in the blood (via newsbusters)
The grandchildren of the Kennedys: Tatiana and Rose, Caroline's daughters and JFK's granddaughters. Maeve is in law school too, another one, Kerry, a senior in High school.. they're RFK's grand daughters. Matt and Joe Kennedy... 3rd year Law students at Harvard. Other grandchildren... Maria Kennedy Shriver's kids.
Read more about them. They'e just regular kids like the many regular kids out there except they are Kennedys. There lies their destiny.
