Tie a Yellow Ribbon

Wednesday was declared by the Philippine Government as public holiday to honor and pay respect to the heroine of "People Power" revolution that ousted the dictatorship. Here we express our love and admiration for Tita Cory as she is fondly called by her followers and by the Filipinos. She is first of all a woman devoted to her faith. Even while she held public office, she never wavered in times of peril and publicly declared her loyalty to the Church. She will be most remembered as a woman of great significance. Her humility and simplicity is exemplar. May she rest in peace. Amen.

The Arcilla Hall of the University where I teach is draped with yellow to signify our solidarity with Cory's cause and express our gratitude.
