The new (15th) President of the Republic of The Philippines was inaugurated and sworn-in on June 30th. President Benigno Simeon 'Noynoy' Cojuangco Aquino III (now commonly called President Noy) is the Republic's youngest President and the first bachelor President.

His mother is the late and former-President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino (Cory Aquino; 11th President of the Philippines ), who died of colon cancer last year. Yellow was President Cory's color and now the color too of President Noy.

President Noy has 4 sisters, the youngest being Philippine movie and TV personality Kris Aquino who is now one of President Noy's style and fashion adviser. So it wasn't surprising that the inauguration of the new President turned yellow.

Though still not out of mourning, the Aquino sisters ditched black on their brother's special day and donned yellow gowns instead. Kris's gown, on the other hand has been called Big Bird!
