you changed the world.
because if a person could symbolize hope, it would be you.
and there is no person I respect and look up to as much as you.
Corazon Aquino
January 25, 1933 - August 1, 2009
Aquino served six turbulent years as president of the Philippines after helping lead hundreds of thousands in a "people power" revolution that brought down the corrupt regime of strongman Ferdinand E. Marcos in February 1986.
