CORAZON AQUINO
Corazon Aquino, also known as "Cory", made an amazing accomplishment by becoming the first
female president of the Philippines. She had to overcome many obstacles before she took on this major
role. But in the end, her presidency contributed greatly to the way the Filipino government functions today.
Corazon Aquino, the first woman president of the Philippines, made many positive changes in the country.
On January 25, 1933, Corazon Aquino was born. She grew up in a wealthy family and had a very happy
childhood. She had seven brothers and sisters. Cory lived in Manila until it was time for her to go to college.
She studied in the U.S., and in 1953, graduated from Mt. St. Vincent with degrees in French and Math. She
was elected to the honor society of Kappa Gamma Pi, an organization for women in catholic colleges who
display moral character and good grades. She was very shy, but had a strong spirit("Corazon Aquino").
Returning to the Philippines, Cory enrolled in the College of Law in Manila. While she was there, she met
Benigno Aquino. One year later, Benigno and Corazon were married. In the following years they had five
children.
