A Filipino in American emailed that "Cory was not known for great intellect." How could he say that? I have always thought that people in the western world would have higher studies on the mind. But it seems this emailer has not heard of Howard Gardner who wrote about multiple intelligences.
Cory was emotionally intelligent, as she could perceive and sense the feelings of the people. The government bureaucracy deadens one's "pakiramdam" but Cory never lost it until the end. That is how she differs from all the traditional politicians that surrounded her. She had always felt that cheating and stealing the people's money were evil. But others seated in offices never thought so or never think so until now.
In other words, Cory had all her heart for the people.
And so what kind of intellect was this emailer thinking of, I wonder?
