When opposition Senator Benigno (Ninoy) Aquino was assassinated in August 1983, Filipinos rallied around the widow Corazon Aquino who symbolized all those who were victimized by the Marcos dictatorship. The housewife with no political experience found herself elected president of the Philippines after the overthrow of Marcoses authoritarian rule. As the Philippiness first female president, she presided over the transition to democracy facing the challenges of no less than seven military coups attempting to topple her government. In this 1991 speech, her last State of the Nation Address, she reviewed her term of office, focusing on her husbands ideas and the image of women as moral guardians. Aquino constantly refers to her Catholic religiosity. Note that her speech does not reflect a feminist perspective. Corazon Aquino presided over the transition of government from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one and she did not express an interest in womens issues. After six years in office, she still focuses on her husband and his ideas. Though politically prominent in her own right, Corazon Aquino was perceived to be the alter ego of her husband, a Filipino hero.

I think Mikey Arroyo is the real author of Martial Law 2 because I think he did this because He can't wait to be dictator of the Philippines. Once Gloria takes Congress seat Mikey will turn RP into Rwanda. All of RP's wealth will be hidden in China and the USA because the Arroyo's got back up thugs in US and Chinese Corporations. Long Live Cory, Ninoy and Noynoy
If Cory and Ninoy saw the Ampatuan genocide and Arroyo's Martial Law Today. They would say that Mikey Arroyo, Gloria Arroyo and the Ampatuans are more brazen than the Marcoses. Look Even Bong Marcos does not like Gloria Arroyo's thugs. Even Bong Marcos says that Gloria Arroyo's Martial Law is more Brazen than Ferdinand Marcos.
i'd been to cory's tomb,,it was so simple...i was very touched from what i saw then,,,she is much more that what she was,,, i hope evry filipino would continue fighting what she and her husband started...God bless to all the Filipinos...thank God He gave the Filipinos Cory Aquino...
to the people who blame cory too much. she just inherited a country that was impoverished, its institutions corrupted after 20 yrs of Marcos dictatorship. yes she had her shortcomings but she deserves full credit for restoring democratic process and most of all, in restoring constitutional stability in this country.
Also if Marcos had 23 more years of power. then the Philippines would have been the other North Korea. Also America, Philippines, China, Russia, Poland Germany would have been wiped off the map with nukes.
