Yellow Ribbons for Tita Cory
The entire Philippine nation mourns the death of former president, Corazon Aquino.
She battled with Colon Cancer, diagnosed in March 2008. Since then she has had a few public appearances, but she remained vocal on many of the political issues that shook the country from that time until her death.
I have the yellow ribbon on my Facebook profile. Got it from the former president’s webpage.
I don’t have much more to say, but Ganns has a post that echoes my very same sentiments. The boyfriend and I planned a photo shoot this afternoon at the UP, we’ll swing by Times Street to pay our tributes and act paparazzi there as well. I hope the sun peeks out so we’d really be able to go.
Hamon nya sa buong bayan: magbantay, manalangin, magmasid – manindigan!
Wouldn’t it be nice if the millions of Filipinos mourning her death and expressing their praise of her integrity and moral leadership could be half as sincere as she was in her service to the country? There would be no greater tribute to her life and legacy than to be like the wife, mother, and citizen, that she was.
Tita Cory is probably dancing with Ninoy right now, reunited in heaven. Two Philippine Heroes. What a nice thought.
Edit: Dad asked to make this card for the flowers we’re taking to Times Street this afternoon.

I think if it were not for people like President Aquino, I would not have come to the Philippines to live. No country is perfect, but I think that many positive changes have been made in the last few decades.

Hi! I was blog hopping through EC and landed on your blog. I would like to invite you to add your link to my post of people who posted about Cory and placed a yellow ribbon for her.
