Cory Aquino, the first female president of the Philippines died this morning of cardiac arrest in a hospital in Manila. Aquino, was the a key player in the “People Power” uprising of 1986 that overthrew the 20 year rule of Ferdinand Marcos. She was 76 year-old.
Her real name was Corazon Aquino and she became active in politics after her husband was assisinated in 1983 by the Marcos Regime. Named Time’s Woman of the Year in 1986, Aquino did her best to recover the country from an influential dictatorship. She ended up leaving office in 1990.

Corazon 'Cory' Aquino true legacy to the Philippines will be her undoubted success in presiding over a peaceful transfer of power in a region where no ruler had voluntarily relinquished control since 1964.Mrs Aquino’s will be forever enshrined in the minds of all Filipinos as a national symbol of “People Power”.
