Sa Araw ng Dilaw - Ignite the Yellow Spark!

To commemorate the 26th Anniversary of the assassination of Ninoy Aquino and to honor the memory of President Cory Aquino, the Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Foundation is declaring August 21, 2009 as “Araw ng Dilaw”. This Friday, every freedom-loving Filipino is urged to wear something yellow.

We ask everyone to light a candle as a way of keeping the spirit of Ninoy and Cory alive and of reciprocating their love for the Filipino people. Motorists are likewise encouraged to turn on their hazard lights from 6pm to 7pm as a sign that the Yellow Spark has been ignited in their hearts.

On August 21, 2009, Make Ninoy and Cory’s spirit of sacrifice live within you.

Sa Araw ng Dilaw,
Wear something yellow!
Light a yellow candle,
or tie a yellow ribbon.
Remember Ninoy,
and Cory's love
for the Filipinos

And if you’re on the road,
on that day,
keep the flame of
Ninoy and Cory burning!

Switch on your hazard lights,
from 6pm to 7pm,
and spread the country’s
Yellow Spark
far and wide.

Ignite the Ninoy and Cory in you.
Ignite the country’s Yellow Spark!
