Yellow Fever

The first periodical exam of the Kuyas was last August 12-14. Since they now study on their own, Hubby and I usually ask if they found the exams easy or difficult and so over breakfast this morning, I asked the Kuyas how the exams went. The two shared that they were asked to write something about Pres. Cory Aquino. Kuya Miko, said that there was an essay part on their Filipino exam asking if Pres. Cory Aquino should be declared a hero. Meanwhile, the younger Kuya, Maki, shared that they were asked to write a paragraph of 5 sentences about Cory Aquino.

Since the family had been watching almost all the coverages and specials for Pres. Aquino and we even wore yellow shirts during her funeral day, I wanted to know what they wrote. Here goes:

Kuya Miko: Karapat-dapat maging isang bayani si Pres. Cory Aquino dahil iniligtas niya tayo sa batas militar na itinatag ni Pres. Ferdinand Marcos.

Kuya Maki: Si Cory Aquino ay dating pangulo ng Pilipinas. Siya ay mahilig sa dilaw. Siya ang nanay ni Kris Aquino. Siya ay namatay noong Agosto 1, 2009. Siya ay inilibing sa Manila Memorial Park.

Not bad...I think Kuya Miko watched the documentaries while the younger Kuya saw the showbiz magazine shows. =)
