Yellow symbolizes light, sunshine and hope. A person who has a yellow personality is cheerful, caring and fun-loving. In the Philippines, yellow symbolizes a national treasure as President Arroyo said. For the past months the Filipinos are united to pray for a great leader. But eventually her fate was to meet God in heaven. I don’t know President Cory Aquino personally, but I know that she made a great difference to our country that you can’t compare with others. She’s religious, hardworking, and kind hearted. She is a good wife, loving mother and caring grandmother. She also made history not only by being the first ever female president of our country but also being the Mother of the Philippine Democracy. As an eighteen year old girl, I never witnessed her accomplishments but will never forget what the late President has done for our country. Today, the country is mourning for her. Tied yellow ribbons are spread all over the country even in the net. Believing in her means to aim higher and take care of each other. As I watched the live telecast of her interment, tears ran down my face. Kris was right. We embrace their family for we feel what they feel, most of us has same experience of their family. Loving President Cory was easy for she accepted the love and care we give her with open arms.
I may not be a witness of President Cory's term and actions as a leader and a citizen of our country, but I know deep within us youngsters that we will never forget President Cory and all the things that she did for the country. We thank you President Cory! You are an inspiration to all of us and we will continue and take care the freedom you gave to us Filipinos.
