She is the slain widow of opposition leader Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. Her husband was assassinated by police escorts after disembarking a plane from the US. He was exiled there by the former dictator of the country, Ferdinand Marcos, who ruled the country for 27 years. His wife, Cory, led the opposition in fighting the dictator. A peaceful revolution, backed by the support of Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin, called the People Power Revolution toppled the Marcos dictatorship and installed Mrs. Aquino to power.
Here is Mrs. Aquino on the cover of Time Magazine as the Woman of the Year.
Keep her and all of the sick in your prayers. Offer a rosary or a Chaplet of Divine Mercy for her healing.
