Based on the historical accounts of the EDSA Revolution, write an essay about how Corazon

Aquino became president.

Maria Corazon Sumulong Cojuangco was born January 25, 1933, in the Tarlac Province to a
wealthy political and banking family. She attended school in Manila until the age of 13, then
finished her education in the United States. Former President Cory Aquino became a
President because of how she fought the country against President Ferdinand Marcos. In the
beginning, Corazon Aquino did not seem like the ideal person to run against Marcos. Aquino
was a big part of the 1986 EDSA Revolution, a movement where men, women, and children
filled the streets of EDSA to make Marcos resign. She used peace instead of violence to bring
down Marcos's government. Aquino proved bloodshed and slaughter is never the key. Her
faith and her religious belief helped her a lot throughout her whole journey from her
candidacy through her presidency. Catholic church and most of the Filipinos believed that she
would win this election. Marcos won and remained as President, a dictator president. Cory
made the People Power Revolution and gathered mostly all the Filipino Citizens, Marcos lost
his position and Cory Aquino became our first woman President.
