Tie a yellow Ribbon for Tita Cory

I was a young teen then when the EDSA Revolution broke out. Since my parents were genuine Ilocanos and had former President FM as their Godfather in their wedding, it was just obvious that my family bled loyalty to the first family. I eventually grew up following my parents until the Ateneo awakened my senses. I was watching the television when the news Ninoy died and this was the start of rise of the true democracy in our country.

Cory Aquino was content on being a home maker and a proud mother to her children. The death of her husband awakened the Filipinos and used her to become the single unifying force to put to a stop what the Marcos regime was doing. She never really wanted to run for President, but because of the proddings of many Filipinos she finally came to the decision to run against Marcos. After coming out of the Club Filipino and being sworn in by Claudio Teehankee as the President, Cory went to work in making sure that democracy is restored. She is definitely one person worth admiring, from a simple person to a wife, a mother, housemaker and eventually President, my hats off to Tita Cory.
