Tie a Yellow Ribbon for Cory Aquino

Noticed the yellow ribbon on the upper left side of my header? That’s because I am joining Barrio Siete’s campaign – Touch a blogger: Tie a yellow ribbon for Cory Aquino!

Yellow Ribbon for Pres. Cory Aquino

Pag namatay tayo, makakalimutan na tayo kahit ng mga magiging apo natin. Pero hindi si Cory Aquino, because she’s already part of our history, being  an icon of democracy and the First Woman President of the Philippines. She will go down in history for our future grandchildren to read about.

Now that she’s suffering from colon cancer, I hope and pray that she will be spared from further pain and that she may soon be restored to full health.

Update: Former President Cory Aquino died of cardio-respiratory arrest at exactly 3:18 a.m.on August 1, 2009.  She’s 76 years old.

Rest in peace, Mrs. President. There’ll be no more pain, no more sadness now that you’re with our Creator. Thank you for being part of our history.

2011 Update: Sorry, I removed the links due to enormous broken links.

  4. Kapag yellow ribbon ang pag-uusapan, siguradong nakakabit name ni Cory Aquino. Parang trademark na yata niya ang kulay yellow din, hehee!

    Yes, hope she’ll recover and gain her health back soon.
