Devoted Wife. When her husband, Senator Ninoy Aquino, was assasinated she took the courage to continue the battle that he has started. From a simple housewife she then took the role to be the country's next president.






Symbol of Philippine Democracy. She led a peaceful revolution which is more popularly known as the People Power/EDSA Revolution that resulted in the ousting of former president Ferdinand Marcos. It was the end of dictatorship and the beginning of democracy.


True Catholic. Her strong faith in the Lord was evident as she inspired the Filipino people to resort to prayers instead of violence. People held on to rosaries instead of guns.

Simple Woman. Corazon Aquino was an epitome of Simplicity. Despite the fact that she came from a wealthy family and was married to an influential person she maintained her modesty. She shied away from the luxuries that were just a hand's reach from her. The things she valued were the ones that didn't have a price tag on them such as her principles, her faith, her friends, her countrymen, and her family.

A Caring Mother. She never really exposed her personal life to the public but with the words and actions her children have for her, one can really tell how loving and caring their mother was. She wasn't only a mother to her 5 children but she was also like a mother to the Filipinos.


May her soul rest in peace and may her spirit be with the Filipinos.
