Came across this article regarding Bayo's support for the Aquino foundation. Read on:
Bayo, together with the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation, has released its new limited capsule collection called “I am Cory.” It is inspired by the former president’s floral artwork which is featured in flower pot printed shirts, scoop neck shirts, striped tank tops, 1950s-inspired dresses, and chambray and striped polos with floral prints and pockets. Also in this collection are canvas bags which feature one of her landscape paintings and a flower pot painting. Part of the proceeds from every purchase of the “I am Cory” products will be donated to the foundation.

CITFI students top art contest
Got across this news about an art painting contest where the judge was Mar Vidal, a world renowned painter whose artwork was adored by President Cory Aquino. Read on:
Two students from the Catanduanes Institute of Technology Foundation, Inc. (CITFI) won the first and third places in the provincial art painting contest, participated in by 22 artists from all over Catanduanes.
Christopher Tacorda, computer programming student of CITFI, topped the contest to win the P5,000 prize donated by Governor Cua. Tacorda also won a one-year scholarship from CITFI.
Second place went to Christopher Degala, an employee of Rakdel Inn. He won P3,000 and a one-year scholarship from CITFI.
Jerome Terry, another CITFI computer programming student, took the third place with a P2,000 prize from Vice Governor Teves and a one-year scholarship from CITFI.
The art contest was part of Governor Cua's program to tap talented artists in the province and provide them incentives through the Catanduanes Upliftment of the Arts (CUA) program that was recently launched with the participation of CITFI and renowned artist painter Mar Vidal who also served as judge in the contest.
"It's amazing to note that Catanduanes has all these talents in art painting. They ought to be tapped and given every opportunity to widen their sphere towards bringing beauty and color to the province and the world," Vidal said.
Vida recently visited Catanduanes and provided students and officials a free sketching of their portraits. He was recently chosen to oil paint the portraits of Boxing Legend Manny Pacquiao, a life-size portrait that mesmerized everyone so that he was featured in the front page of Cebu Daily News (a subsidiary of Philippine Daily Inquirer) last August 15.
Others who also availed of Vidal's talent were celebrity Monique Lluillier, Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia, President Cory Aquino, Cardinal Vidal, and top businessmen, politicians, actors and actresses. Last year, Vidal was invited to Los Angeles to attend the world competition opera concert of his daughter who won second place.
"I will be back in Catanduanes because there is that unique beauty in your province which I have not seen anywhere else. Surely, I will be helping talents get their chance to be in the spotlight for world competition and make Catanduanes a province of the arts," Vidal declared. He was accompanied by Freddie Esmas, another official from Cebu and CITFI board director, who promised that he will work out that Cebu and Catanduanes become sister cities soon.
