With yellow roses lining her way, Philippine President Corazon Aquino swept triumphantly through Congress Tuesday, making an urgent appeal for new funding and support for her nation.
A $ 200 million emergency relief package for the Philippines was approved by the House in a matter of hours by voting, as one member put it, "with our emotions, not our heads"; the Senate would later take up the money.
Yesterday morning, Aquino spoke before a joint session of Congress that was packed to the gills. She discussed the life of her late husband Benigno, whose murder in August 1983 set off the nonviolent uprising that brought her to power in February. Like Abraham Lincoln, she pledged to work toward peace but be prepared to act if necessary to preserve unity and democracy.
