Corazon "Cory" Aquino Died

Maria Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco Aquino (January 25, 1933 – August 1, 2009) was a President of the Philippines and a world-renowned advocate of democracy, peace, women's empowerment, and religious piety. She served as the 11th president of the Philippines from 1986 to 1992. She was the first female president of the Philippines and was Asia's first female president.

A self-proclaimed "plain housewife",Aquino was married to Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. (1932-1983), a leading figure in the political opposition against the autocratic rule of President Ferdinand Marcos. After her husband was assassinated upon his return from exile in the United States on August 21, 1983, Aquino, who had no prior political experience, became a focal point and unifying force of the opposition against Marcos. She was drafted to run against Marcos in the 1986 snap presidential elections. After Marcos was proclaimed the winner despite widespread reports of electoral fraud, Aquino was installed as President by the peaceful 1986 People Power Revolution.

Insights about our late Former President Corazon "Cory" Aquino:

I could still remember how our history teacher taught us on how great and noble Corazon "Cory" Aquino was. During the Marcos regime, she fought for the right of the fellow Filipinos who were victims of injustices. I know I didn't witness such Martial law hence I was still an infant during that time. It was indeed an honor to know a certain woman who was brave enough to fight for justice, peace and unity among Filipinos.

So long Pres. Corazon "Cory" Aquino! May you rest in peace.
