A PilipinasMabuhay100 Exclusive:
After weeks of grueling persuasion and a nationwide signature campaign (which successfully gathered the signatures of more than one million Filipinos) - In December of 1985, Corazon 'Cory' Aquino announced her decision to challenge then-President Ferdinand Marcos, the Philippines' ruling dictator for close to twenty years, in the upcoming SNAP Presidential Elections, scheduled to be held on February 7, 1986.

On February 25, 1986, after a fairy-tale revolution forced the Marcoses to flee the country into exile in Hawaii, Corazon Aquino became the Eleventh President of the Philippines, the first woman to hold such office in the country and in Asia.
