Yellow symbolizes wisdom, joy and happiness. Some say wearing yellow presents a cheering and uplifting effect. The color yellow brings clarity and awareness. But to the Filipino People, yellow is synanimous to one person - Mrs. Corazon C. Aquino. And today, at the first day of August, 2009, she peacefully joined her husband and our Creator after a year long battle with cancer. She is an icon for Women, for Filipinos and for Freedom.
Like the color that is always associated with her, she symbolizes wisdom and hope. As a role model, she represented a loyal and loving wife and a great mother. As an Freedom Fighter, she showed quiet strength and resiliency. As a Leader, she gave her wisdom and nobility unfailingly. As a woman of character, compassion and sincerity is what she exudes most. And a Christian, she displayed great faith despite of all the hardships in her life including her husband's death and her cancer battle, putting all her fate and trust in God's will.
Along with millions of people, Filipino or otherwise, I pray for her soul to finally achieve true peace and happiness with God. We Love you, Madam Cory and Thank You four your Legacy.
