Celebrating Cory Aquino’s 77th birth anniversary
Noynoy Aquino and Kris Aquino are expected to be among the more prominent movers in leading the country to commemorate the 77th birth anniversary of Corazon Cojuanco Aquino today January 25.
Among the key highlights may be the unveiling of a new monument of Cory Aquino, a memorial shrine dedicated to the beloved former President who was installed by the EDSA 1986 People Power revolution.
The sculpture was designed and created by Eduardo Castrillo. The sculptor actually made the country’s first statue of Aquino’s husband, Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. in Concepcion, Tarlac, as well as another Ninoy statue at the People Power monument on EDSA (Epifanio delos Santos Avenue).
Malayang Halalan joins the nation in celebrating the birth of Cory Aquino, who can also be credited for supporting the country’s long journey towards modernizing the country’s election process. Aquino was actually cheated in the 1985 snap elections which led to a walk out of Comelec computer programmers during the computerized canvassing of votes.
