Yellow has made a mark on our history being chosen by the late President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino to be the prominent color of her dress when the regime of dictatorship was toppled over by a bloodless revolution known to most as the People Power back in February of 1986. The question is will it make another record in the history in the days to come?
Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno has been seen lately wearing this color as he mingles with the people and most of his photographs are taken while he is wearing this monumental color. Ronnie Puno is a known vice presidentiable in May 2010 national elections. And questions poured out if this has something to do with the People Power of 1986 or is it a symbol of his grief for the person who once wore it. When he was interviewed though, Ronnie Puno said that wearing yellow has nothing to do with the commemoration of people power- the decision is primarily on the aesthetic side. It was just a matter of blending with his skin tone. But he added that he was a supporter of the former president, and Puno calls her an icon of democracy.
According to Puno, his favorite color is actually green. When photographed though using this color, it did not produce the effect that they were looking for so his advisers chose a different color for him, thus yellow came into picture and thankfully he looked good on it. It was notable that Puno was wearing the Cory color on two recently released television advertisements. The advertisement is focusing on information dissemination about the programs of Philippine National Police (PNP). This is to ensure that the public is aware of the help that they can get from PNP. Although the advertisement was aired months before the national election in 2010, Puno, made it clear that it was not a political advertisement. It was an information campaign which “deals with specific things I believe people are not aware of” according to Puno who further cited the women’s complaint desk and continuing recruitment by the PNP as examples. Puno also clarified that none of the information ads came from the department’s funds. It was funded by his friends whom he was with when he was interviewed at the Paparazzi bar and restaurant at the Edsa Shangri-La.
