 August 01,2009 the first woman who hold the first highest position in Philippine history and known as the mother of democracy is none other than 
Maria Corazon Sumulong Cojuangco-Aquino known as Cory Aquino died because of colon cancer.


According to my grandmother, President Cory Aquino is the one of the best and famous president not just here in Philippines but also around the world.
 She was titled by Time Magazine in 1986 as its 'Woman of the Year'.

Of course,ang napaka halagang event na ito ay hindi ko ipinalampas. On August 06,2009 (6 days after Pres. Cory Aquino died) I decided to draw a concept depicting the actual scenario happen during her funeral.
As I watch the funeral of late president Cory Aquino,I told myself na mas damang-dama mo talaga kung andoon ka sa actual na funeral march. 
So I took my pen and a piece of paper then I decided to draw the scenario while watching the live coverage of Funeral of the late president Cory Aquino.
Kung inyong makikita sa Drawing (1st image) mapapansin nyong ang mga tao naka-LABAN sign.Ang iba,sumisigaw na "Cory hindi ka nag-iisa", "paalam tita Cory", o di kaya ang "SALAMAT Pangulong Cory Aquino".
Then I realized,I am so blessed na naabutan ko pa siya. Hindi ko man talaga siya nakita o di kayay na experience ang kanyang pamamalakad sapat na ang mga kwento ng aking mga magulang at lola na siyay naging INA ng bansang Pilipinas.


My second drawing still about CORY AQUINO.Actually, its a tribute. If you notice Filipino people take a long and huge yellow ribbon then other people share their experience and story on the 11th President of the Philippines.
