The Red Zone Republic

August 1, 2009- The whole country mourned when the former president Corazon Aquino passed away. Even i, who's not into politics felt that deep sadness mirrored by those who knew her by heart. This had given me the interest as to what kind of change she had installed to this country that made her so loved by the filipino people. Sure i knew it that she fought for democracy, but not until that day that i realized the things she had to go through just for that. I had read lots of documentaries about her and they were all consistent, pertaining to her as simple and modest person who wished nothing but a country with leaders that can spell out change literally. It was a battle so long-fought all through this years, it has always been an issue and i know it will take a lifetime debate to settle that. I will speak for myself for the first time, coz i know somehow this concerns me and the rest of the youth.

REASON and logic: democracy should be preserved

Cory aquino fought for democracy coz she knows and believes that the filipino people can decide for themselves as to what is right for them and everyone. All we need is one good leader that can filter all this decision and make a step forward, a change for the entire nation. She believes that filipinoes are capable of doing so, for we always have that determination of winning for what's right and factual.

THE COLOR:

Simple, the first thing that may go in to your mind when you mention the color: YELLOW. Might even consider it boring for some. That's the superficial view. Try mixing it with orange perhaps, it makes a war-like fire effect while adding white on the other hand makes like a breaking dawn that carries the hope of a new day. Such angles can be derived, and the most interesting part is that she's been wearing the original yellow, with no hues added. For me it paints alot of idea and one of which is the fact that late president Aquino tried to convey to us the true ANSWER to all the uncertainties the county is facing all this time. AND it is SIMPLICITY. Sometimes adding articles to certain aspects of life complicates it even more. We should all be contended of what we have and never aim for what we no longer deserve. Human tendencies pushes to the extent of stealing something that they don't own. She's been quite a model on her silence hoping that everyone picks out a lesson out of it. She's one amazing woman all throughout the time.

The message.:

Thank you is not enough, and it will never be. Compared to the sacrfices that you had given, the privacy, the devotion and the time, thank you is not enough. We can only repay your efforts for our country if we really try make sense out of the gift that you had given to us. The gift of DEMOCRACY. I myself promise to somehow translate to my life what you had wanted me to act as a filipino. Thank you for mothering our country when no one dare to do so. Thank you and may you rest in peace:)
