Former President Cory Aquino has been in the Makati Medical Hospital for a month now. I recalled the day when the news came about her having colon cancer.
What was the effect on me then? That news became an eye opener for me as I googled more information about colon cancer. That made me became more aware of what it is and what can we do to prevent having one. Before the news broke out in the local media, I had that impression about colon cancer as somewhat western illness meaning I only read it much on mostly western authored online and offline resources. So there, that made me more informed now that this colon cancer cannot only be associated with a certain country or group of people.
Anyway, now that she is still trying to feel better, Aquino’s supporters are encouraging everyone to tie a yellow ribbon as a sign of love and support.
I have yet to see some people start this act of love. I am pretty sure that this will be followed by many as soon as her supporters start doing this in the coming days.
