Congress to act as the dead
"Ninoy's" companion and
protector, Aquino successfully
ends her petition. Long-term
impacts of this could be both
favorable and adverse.
Aquino's portrayal as a feeble,
incompetent leader may be
strengthened by the tale. The
strong emotional impact led to
an overabundance of aid in the
United States and the
Philippines. Additionally,
Aquino continued to defend her
conciliationist attitude on the
communist insurgency—a
touchy subject in the United
States at the time—and asked
for financial support to restore
the Philippine economy in an
emotional address written by
her speechwriter, Teddy Locsin
Jr.

officials.They emphasize both the
nation's "progress toward
normalcy" and the strategic
significance of US bases.
President and Mrs. Marcos will
meet with President Reagan
following a formal welcome at the
White House. Marcos is
anticipated to push for a prompt
beginning of negotiations about
the future of the facilities at Clark
Field and Subic Bay. In addition,
it is anticipated that talks would
lead to the creation of a new joint
military commission between the
Philippines and the US. An ardent
anti-pact campaign has been
launched by a sizeable Filipino
community in the US.
In stark contrast to Reagan's
praise and the mere fact that
Marcos visited, the close relations
between Manila and Washington
during the Carter administration,
which was openly critical of the
Marcos government's record on
human rights, remained present.
The Reagan administration lays a
high emphasis on "quiet
diplomacy" when it comes to

Cory's address concentrated
on the history of the people's
power movement and how the
tyranny was toppled. Since it
was financed in part by the
Philippines' export revenue, the
financial insurgency was also
mentioned.

Reagan described the security

Marcos is well known for
demanding a much higher

In response to a question as
Marcos left the White House,
Reagan stated that the
Philippines had made "great

liberties. Reagan said, "We all

whether there was still much to

encountered as quickly as she
assumed the presidency. For
instance, unemployment and
poverty were brought up. Also,
it mentioned the two elections
that were held following Ninoy
Aquino's passing. His wife ran
for office but was defeated
during the initial election.
During the second, which was
a hurried election, she had
been elected president and
proclaimed democracy in the

Personal Insights excellent. I want to be clear that I am examining their statements in
light of the current circumstances facing both parties and that I am
not going to be prejudiced or take a side in favor of any of them.
This is because of the current difficulties involving both parties. She
handled Cory's speech, which was strong and had a significant
impact on the audience, bravely and boldly. She described what
had occurred to her family as well as how a tyrannical government
might be changed into a democratic one. Also, she battled for the
freedom of the Filipino people by speaking her mind and clearly
stating whatever she intended to say (Official Gazette 1986). On
the other side, Ferdinand Marcos spoke about the initiatives and
significant events in the Philippines. Cory Aquino also makes an
effort to show how the declaration of martial law coincided with a
number of unfortunate events in the Philippines during her speech.
As Aquino initially incited Marcos to commit his atrocities, they
should be made public. Although Aquino did not identify the crimes
perpetrated by Marcos, other scholars and researchers have
provided evidence of the political unrest that prevailed while martial
law was in effect. Cory Aquino also takes great pleasure in telling
the American Congress that the Philippines developed its
democracy on its own. However, Aquino makes an effort to appear
as though she needs US support to uphold the democracy, which
has once again gained ground. Not all Filipinos desire to live in a
dictatorship. They would fight with all their power for the Philippines'
hidden light. In conclusion, despite its poverty and political unrest,
the Philippines will prosper because all efforts are undertaken for
the greater good of society instead of individual gain. The Filipinos
were successful in saving many lives by forcing Marcos from office.
The Bill of Rights may have been strengthened by Cory Aquino to
reclaim the lost dignity of the Filipino people.
