Tie A Yellow Ribbon for Ninoy, Cory and Noynoy

"Tie a Yellow Ribbon in front of your house, office or your vehicle to show

your support for Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas!"

This was the exhortation made following Thursday´s organizational meeting

for supporters of the tandem of Senators Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III and

Manuel "Mar" Roxas II by former councilor Roy Hilario Raagas, the

coordinator for the duo´s scheduled forum with the people of Cagayan de Oro

on Sunday, September 27, 2009 at Xavier University.

"To Filipinos who love their country and want to actively participate in

changing it for the better, we invite you to join a forum with Senator

Noynoy Aquino and Senator Mar Roxas on Sunday, September 27, 2009 at three

o'clock in the afternoon at Xavier University (Ateneo de Cagayan)," Raagas

said.

"We enjoin everyone who joins us in this forum to wear a yellow shirt to

honor our beloved late President Cory Aquino and as a symbol of our

commitment to continue the good fight she and Ninoy started through her son

Noynoy and his friend Mar," Raagas added. "You may also show your support

for Noynoy and Mar by tying a yellow ribbon in your house or in your

vehicle."

Raagas said the organizers are also encouraging the people to bring along a

can to be used as a piggy bank or "lugi" for the Piso for Noynoy(PiNoy)

fund raising campaign which will be launched in Cagayan de Oro during the

forum.

"We were touched by the gesture of scavengers in Payatas who contributed P1

to the drive," said former Bukidnon Rep. Nereus Acosta in a press

conference held Thursday in Cagayan de Oro. "All they told us is that it

would be their taya or bet on the Ninoy-Mar tandem and all they´re asking

for is for the duo to lift them out of their misery should they win the

presidency."

Acosta also recalled the gesture of a taxi driver who came all the way to

the PiNoy headquarters in Quezon City who said: "Huwag niyong pagtawanan

ang P20 na ito. Ito ay pinaghirapan ko. Bilang kapalit, gusto ko lang sana

sabihin sa inyo n asana kung manalo kayo pag-ayusin niyo ang takbo n gating

gobyerno."

The highlight of Sunday´s rally which will be held at the lobby of the

Student Action Center in Xavier U is the signing of a Manifesto of Support

for Noynoy and Mar by multi-sectoral groups and everyone present "who

wishes to be part of this campaign to rid the country of evil."

"Invite your friends, invite your families, invite your neighbors and

spread the word through your cellphones, email and any way you can," Raagas

said. "Let us show to one and all we are serious about joining the fight to

make the Philippines a country we can be proud of!"
