A former senator and husband of Corazon Aquino who later became the first woman president of the country. The commemoration started last 2004. Many Filipinos are just praying that the present president Benigno Aquino the third will be as wise as his father.

Stumbling upon on the account of the former president Corazon Aquino on twitter have give me some thoughts. Is this really her? Is it Cory or somebody from her family or delegated to somebody else or just somebody using her name. So far what was posted since February 26 of this year of which the day she started to use twitter, there were three twitter messages that pointed to her as the symbol of people power pointing to a site about a short biography of hers.As of this time, she was following 737 twitterers and have 136 followers. I will be the 137th follower. The site of which her bio is posted is about Women International Center as a non profit foundation which presents the list outstanding women all over the world.
