I visited the “The Inaugural – An Exhibit” at The Block Atrium, SM North EDSA. It will run from February 17 – 28, 2011. It is presented by the EDSA People Power Commission in cooperation with the SM Supermalls.
The exhibit highlights and introduces the book entitled “The Inaugural” - an 181-page hardbound coffee table book which published by Maria Montelibano. This book details the inside story of President Benigno S. Aquino III’s road to the presidency as documented by several chroniclers. “The Inaugural” has over 100 photographs and portraits of President Aquino captured by top lensmen, and contains stories and accounts written by various journalists, campaign volunteers and friends of the President.” (Source).
The exhibit introduces some of the contents of the book such as THE TIMES (Ang Panahon), THE SYMBOLS (Ang Tanda), THE VOLUNTEER (Ang Nagkusa), THE CELEBRATION (Ang Pasinaya), and THE PRESIDENT (Ang Pangulo).
I am proud to be part of such history though not so directly. My existence begins in the year when the history of yellow symbols started. And somehow, I proud to be part of the 15,208,678 votes garnered by Benigno S. Aquino III in the 10 May 2010 elections which won for him the seat of the President of the Republic of the Philippines.
I just wish that that powerful votes would turn into realistic hope to lead the country into progress.
