Colour me Yellow

below are a few of my precious souvenirs of the People Power Revolution of 1986; often since refered to as EDSA I; as it was reprised some years later...



Anti-Marcos (and obviously pro-Cory) campaign sticker; Doy Laurel was Cory's running mate;'85-'86




and another...in the Philippines a Macoy is a big shot, often a foreigner or a wheel with foreign connections.




Ninoy and Cory bumper sticker, '85-'86





President Cory Aquino and her daughter Chris 1986

Regretably I didn't purchase one of the Cory rag dolls which were being sold all over everywhere in shops and by street venders...They were really cute! I've searched on EBay to no avail...they were quite small; maybe six or eight inches tall...Cory in her trademark, "simple housewife" A-line yellow shift...they had little yellow framed eyeglasses made of wire.
Curiously, there were also available at the time similar rag dolls of the ubiquitous Metro Manila Aid, who were street cleaners and maintenance people...very Democratic don't you think?
