Introduction
Corazon Aquino, known as "Cory" Aquino, was
the 11th President of the Philippines, serving
from 1986 to 1992. She rose to power after the
People Power Revolution, which ended the
authoritarian rule of Ferdinand Marcos. Aquino,
the first female president in Philippine history,
championed democracy, social justice, and
human rights throughout her presidency.
 Corazon Aquino's association with the color yellow
originated from the yellow ribbon campaign following
the assassination of her husband, Ninoy Aquino.
Yellow became the symbol of opposition to the Marcos
dictatorship. During the 1986 presidential campaign
and People Power Revolution, yellow represented the
peaceful struggle for democracy and change. It
adorned supporters' clothing, banners, and ribbons,
symbolizing hope and unity. The color yellow remains
synonymous with Aquino's legacy and the Philippines'
commitment to democracy.
