Family members, government officials, and supporters gathered anew to offer Mass for the celebration of the 55th wedding anniversary of late opposition leader Sen. Benigno S. Aquino and icon of democracy President Corazon C. Aquino, at the Manila Memorial Park, in Parañaque City.

The occasion was another reunion for the Aquino family: Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, Pinky Aquino-Abellada, Viel Aquino-Dee, Noynoy, and Kris Aquino-Yap, and their children at the family mausoleum.

In his homily, Don Bosco parish priest Fr. Manny Domingo said it was his first time to officiate a wedding anniversary for a couple who is “united in heaven.”

Domingo encouraged those at the Mass to emulate the love of the couple who remained faithful, true, and committed to each others to the end.

Among family friends and supporters who showed up at the late couple’s wedding anniversary Mass were Senator Mar Roxas, former Senator Franklin Drilon, Akbayan Party-list Representative Riza Hontiveros-Baraquel, Social Welfare Secretary Corazon 'Dinky' Soliman, former Education Secretary Butch Abad, Representative Teddy Boy Locsin, and Frank Chavez.

Many came dressed in yellow to match the yellow ribbons strung on tree, shrubs, and posts inside the memorial park.

A charcoal painting of the Ninoy and Cory were placed on the couple’s tomb which was decorated with yellow and white flowers.

Noynoy remained steadfast in continuing the “fight that his parents started” as he seeks presidency in the 2010 elections.

Two months ago Cory, 76, was laid beside the tomb of her husband, who was assassinated on August 21, 1983.

Cory, the widow of assassinated opposition leader Aquino, was propelled into the spotlight in 1986 when she headed a massive "people power" movement that ousted the late President Ferdinand Marcos.

Ninoy, was a former senator, governor, vice governor, mayor who was known as the leader of the opposition during Martial Law. He was assassinated at the Manila International Airport upon returning home from exile in the United States.
