Aside from the numerous healing Masses being offered for the speedy recovery of former President Corazon "Cory" Aquino, the get-well-soon cards created for her by concerned schoolchildren have been giving the cancer-stricken former chief executive the inspiration to fight for her life despite the pain she's presently enduring.

In fact, Aquino's nephew, Rafael Lopa, said he saw that the cards were posted on the walls of her aunt's private room at the Makati Medical Center, where she remains confined for more than a month now.

Lopa said the cards, together with the "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" campaign and the various prayer requests posted online are heart-warming gestures the Aquino family deeply appreciates appreciates during these trying times.

"Talagang nakakataba ng puso ang supporta at pagmamahal ng mga tao, pati ng mga bata, para kay Pangulong Aquino. Sana po ay di kayo magsawang magdasal para sa kanya," he said.

It was reported that prayers and messages for the former President reached Aquino's official website, www.coryaquino.ph and even through Facebook, a popular social networking site.

As of Thursday, at least 2,066 Facebook users have signed in the "Tie a Yellow Ribbon for the Mother of Philippine Democracy," created by Arnel Eugenio from Brentwood Secondary College.

One of the group members, Jose Raul Peralejo, Jr., posted a message that reads, "We wouldn't enjoy the freedom we are enjoying right now if not for her (Aquino)."

"Even though hindi ko siya naabutan as President of our country, I appreciate everything she has done for every Filipino and it really makes me proud to be one because of people like her," a certain Orion Constantino said in his post.

Another member also said he wishes to pay Aquino a visit but Lopa said his aunt's visitors are only limited to her children and grandsons.

"For those who wanted to visit her, I believe Antie Cory knows in her heart that people loves her. You don't need to visit her to show your support. Just join us in praying that she doesn't suffer that much," Lopa said.

The 76-year-old widow of the late Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino is in a private room at the hospital's ninth floor, where members of the media are barred from entering.

Aquino's only son, Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino, III, earlier disclosed that doctors have strongly advised the former President to stay at her hospital room since her blood pressure has been erratic lately.

Although Aquino's cancer cells have already spread from her colon to the liver and other organs, the senator said his mother "remains stable and not in pain."
