RIYADH: Overseas Filipino Workers in the Kingdom are one in expressing pain and sadness over the death on Saturday morning of former President Corazon C. Aquino after a battle with colon cancer.
“All of us are extremely sad, to use an understatement,” said Dr. Carlito L. Astillero, a commmunity leader. “The kind of revolution she led was the first of its kind and was copied by other countries to effect change in government.”
“She left us with good memories to remember her by; this also makes her passing more painful,” said Rene G. Layug, of the sports group Siglakas and Bukabin.
“She not only took care of her own children after her husband was assassinated, but she also showed that she was a mother to the whole country,” said Roi Alojado, a community leader.
From Qassim, Dionisio B. Tabuco Jr., another community leader, said: “Her passing is a great loss for us Filipinos. She served the country selflessly.”
OFWs set aside divisions to honor Cory Aquino

I'm wondering what "divisions" this article is talking about.
