Join the Yellow Ribbon Brigade: Touch a Blogger: Tie a Yellow Ribbon for Cory Aquino

The news about Cory Aquino’s failing health is sad indeed. She  is suffering from colon cancer and has been hospitalized since June 25th due to continued loss of appetite caused by fluid buildup in her stomach. She’s the woman who re-introduced democracy back to our country after her husband, Ninoy Aquino was assassinated at the airport tarmac in Manila in 1983.  She stood up and took the bull by the horns and ended the 20-some year rule of Ferdinand Marcos. Through non-violent rallies and protests, Filipinos gained back their country’s democracy through “People Power”.

There have been rumors via text messages on Friday, Manila time that the former President has died. Those are all rumors and has been denied by the people close to her. The British Embassy issued an apology after offering their condolences prematurely.

I am joining Reyna Elena and Barrio Siete along with other bloggers in asking bloggers to tie a yellow ribbon for Cory Aquino.   am saddened by the news as well and would like to follow suit.  Please read the message below and if you’re a blogger or or regular visitor here, please join us in prayer and in unity with this request. Touch a blogger: Tie a Yellow Ribbon for Cory Aquino. We are praying for the Aquino family. Let’s leave it in God’s hands. News has it that the city of Makati has started tying Yellow Ribbons around Makati Medical Center.
