Tribute for Corazon Aquino
What do I know about her?
- She is known as (Tita) Cory Aquino.
- The first female Philippine President from 1986 to 1992.
- She was a brave leader and known for her commitment to democracy, peace, and women's issues.
- The widow of Benigno Aquino Jr, a former leader of Philippine opposition who was assasinated in 1983 at Philippine NAIA which explains why the place is named after him. (Ninoy Aquino International Airport)
- She is famously known of her trademark - yellow dress.
- She is 76 years old.
The reason why I know her this much is that she became the President of the Philippines after the People's Power on February 25, 1986. Since then, February 25 is declared a holiday every year. If that doesn't make any sense, February 25 is my birthday...
But today, August 1, 2009, after she had suffered a series of health problems and due to complications from colon cancer, she already passed away :(.
President Cory Aquino
May You Rest In Peace!
