Answer:

Explanation:

Corazon “Cory” Cojuangco Aquino was one of the few people who managed to change the course of history. She managed to unify the opposition against the Marcos dictatorship, and by force of her simplicity and integrity, cast the contest in such stark terms of good vs. evil that people responded to her not as a politician but as a moral force. Her personality contributed in no small way to keeping the fight against Marcos peaceful. And in this, she offered an example to others outside the Philippines. The EDSA revolution that she inspired in turn inspired people around the world to rise up against oppression. South Korea, Thailand, Bangladesh and the peaceful revolutions in Eastern Europe owe a debt of gratitude to her. It was not a magical solution — the peaceful democracy revolts failed in Burma and China — but it nevertheless ushered in a new era of freedom.
