September 2009 Publisher's Note
On August 1, 2009, my family and I were saddened by the death of our former president Corazon C. Aquino.
I was only 12 years old when me and my little sister ran after school to the plaza in our town in Valencia, Bukidnon to witness a rally for the late President. At that young age I knew that she was the one that would lead us to our freedom from Marcos’ dictatorship and she did.
Before she was president, there were many times where my whole family had to lay flat on the floor of our little house to try stay alive and avoid being hit from the bullets that might stray on some random shooting that happens every now and then. Civilians were being be headed at that time for no apparent reason and
bodies were found floating in the river. Justice was just very hard to find and we lived in fear.
As soon as Corazon Aquino was elected as President, a lot of that has changed and the people had renewed energy in believing in our country. It was not perfect but it was definitely better. It was the beginning.
I hope deep in my heart that we Filipinos will remember what Ninoy Aquino and Corazon Aquino has done for our country.
We still have a long way to go but we cannot give up. We simply cannot put to waste what they have started.
This issue, the “Yellow Issue” is dedicated to our beloved Corazon C. Aquino.
