Last Thursday, February 18, Kris Aquino was the guest of honor for two subsequent events hosted by Philip Stein. The Queen of All Media first attended the launch of the Cory Aquino Limited Edition tribute watch over at The Podium, then headed over to the second floor for the launch of Yellow Paintings, an exhibit of paintings featuring the Aquino family.

Ogie Alcasid sings the rousing song "One" to stress the event's significance. The song is usually sung by Ogie's former group Kundirana, the high school glee club based in La Salle Green Hills.
One of the paintings in the auction was "Paalam Tita Cory,"which features a top view of the Filipino crowd that accompanied the cortege of former president Cory Aquino last August.
