Thank you, Corazon Cojuangco Aquino

Corazon Aquino, Pastel drawing by Alan Baluran, 1989

Twenty years ago, I made a pastel drawing of then President Corazon C. Aquino to express my immense respect and admiration of her courage in toppling down the 20 year Marcos regime. She inspired non violent resistance to dictatorial rule.

Maria Corazon Cojuangco was born on January 25, 1933 and died at 76 years old early Saturday in a Manila hospital after a yearlong battle with colon cancer.

To our dear beloved, Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, a great leader, an icon of democracy, thank you for bringing us back FREEDOM.
