image from ReutersMy brother Von texted me very early this morning: Corazon Aquino has died. I was not exactly shocked, everyone has anticipated this, it was just a matter of weeks and this morning the former president of the Philippines has decided to rest. She has been battling colon cancer. Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, said his mother died at 3:18 a.m. Saturday (1918 GMT Friday). Corazon "Cory" Aquino was 76.
Corazon Aquino was catapulted into presidency in 1986 through the people power revolution. It was a bloodless revolution that ended the 20-year Marcos regime and inspired a lot of copycat "bloodless" revolutions around the globe. .
