politician and president (1986-92), born in Tarlac province. She studied at Mount
St Vincent College, New York, before marrying a young politician, Benigno S Aquino

on charges of murder and subversion (1972-80), he was assassinated by a military guard
at Manila airport in 1983 on his return from three years of exile in the USA. Corazon
was drafted by the Opposition to contest the 1986 presidential election, and claimed
victory over Marcos, accusing the government of ballot-rigging. She took up her husband's
cause, leading a non-violent 'people's power' campaign which succeeded in overthrowing
Marcos. She survived several coup attempts during her presidency, but did not stand
for re-election in 1992
