Maria Corazon Sumulong Cojuangco was born the sixth among eight children from a family considered to be a member of one of the richest Chinese-mestizo families in the Philippines. She was the first female president of the Philippines and was Asia’s first female president. The relatively peaceful manner by which Aquino assumed the presidency through the EDSA Revolution won her widespread international acclaim as an icon of democracy.
Following the end of her term, Aquino retired to private life. When she rode away from the inauguration of her successor, she chose to go in a simple white Toyota Crown she had purchased (rather than the government-issue Mercedes), to make the point that she was once again an ordinary citizen.
