Corazon “Cory” Aquino was the President of the Philippines from 1986 to 1992, and widow of Benigno
Aquino Jr., an opposition leader assassinated by the Ferdinand Marcos regime. She reluctantly ran for the
presidency in the wake of her husband’s death, and became symbolic of the Filipino people’s desire for
change following nearly two decades of authoritarian rule. Aquino immediately undid many of the measures
instituted by Marcos, including returning an independent court system, repealing repressive labor laws,
releasing political prisoners, and the creation of a commission to investigate human rights abuses under
Marcos. Her government also sought peace agreements with militant communist groups as well as the Moro
National Liberation Front (MNLF), inviting the latter’s leader to return from exile.
