First President of the Fifth Republic of the Philippines and the first woman president of the
Philippines
Birthdate: January 25, 1933
Died:
Term: 1985-1992
President from 1986 to 1992, she is associated with the EDSA Revolt. No one could have
imagined that Cory Aquino would become a president of the Philippines. Although she was born
to the landed class in Tarlac, her background was so disparate from the patterns that cut
presidential figures. In 1946, her family left for the U.S. and she enrolled at Ravenhill Academy
in Philadelphia. She finished her junior and senior years at Notre Dame College in New York. In
1949, she entered Mount Saint Vincent College also in New York where she finished a Bachelor
of Arts course, major in French .
In 1953, she returned to the Philippines to take up law at the Far Eastern University. But, the
following year, she met and married Benigno Ninoy Aquino. Subsequently, she became content
to live in her husbands shadow and took the role of wife and mother to her five children.
However, Ninoys assassination in 1983 swept aside this role and catapulted her to the top
position of the country after the tumultuous events which followed the EDSA revolution in
February 1986.
She refused to run for reelection in the 1992 presidential elections; but instead endorsed and
worked very hard for her chosen candidate Fidel V. Ramos.
FIDEL VALDEZ RAMOS
Popularly known as PNoy, he is the son of the first female Philippine president
and of Asia Corazon Cojuangco Aquino. Real name is Simeon Benigno Aquino
III a.k.a. NoyNoy or PNoy joined the House of Representatives and the Senate
before his presidency.
He is the first bachelor Philippine president who is still unmarried to this day, May 10, 2014. He
is the only Philippine president I saw who had no idiot board and "codigo" of his speech during
SONA.
4 years of term led him to become popular with his mouth-stiff decisions and his SONA (state of
the nation address) promises, PNoy is an idol to many but a failure to the militant group critics.
His family is part owner of Hacienda Luisita which had been to the longest controversial Land
Reform Law subject to this day.
