Corazon “Cory” Aquino (1933–2009) was a Filipino political leader and the first female president of the Philippines, serving from 1986 to 1992. She became a symbol of democracy and the People Power Revolution that ended Ferdinand Marcos’s 20-year authoritarian rule.
Born on January 25, 1933, in Tarlac, Philippines, Cory was a devout Catholic and studied abroad before marrying Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., a prominent opposition leader.
After Ninoy’s assassination in 1983, Cory emerged as a unifying figure for the opposition. In 1986, she ran against Marcos in a snap election. Despite widespread fraud, her victory was upheld by the People Power movement, a peaceful uprising that restored democracy.
As president, she faced numerous challenges, including coup attempts and economic instability, but is remembered for her dedication to democratic principles and constitutional reforms. Aquino’s leadership inspired movements for democracy worldwide, and she remains a beloved icon of Philippine history.
