Today we remember the life of former president Corazon Cojuangco Aquino who died on the first day of August in 2009. She is largely known as the first female president of the Philippines, a leader of the People Power Revolution of 1986, and the main personality involved in the restoration of the country’s democracy.
Under her administration, the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program was launched so farmers would no longer be landless. She also lifted the media restrictions that were in force during the Marcos rule, thereby granting greater freedom to journalists and media organizations. And she also actively worked to protect and conserve the environment, in the process supporting the creation of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources , tasked with overseeing environmental policies and regulations.
The journalist Raissa Robles wrote, “President Cory’s action triggered profound in Philippine society…. The fact that we don’t even attribute that change to Cory Aquino—or even know about it—shows how subtle the process has been for the nation, the Filipino family, and many Filipino women.”
