Every nation has its own sense of national pride, and as Chinese, we naturally think that Chinese is very good and does not lose to foreigners. Of course, the same is true of the Philippines, which has its own national pride. However, in the history of the Philippines, there was actually a Chinese president, and such a seemingly difficult and incredible thing really happened!
The world's first Chinese president was a woman named Corazon Aquino.
Her life can be said to be a legend, although she is a woman, but she has an iron-blooded wrist. Under her leadership, the Philippines gradually began to become strong from a backward country. It can be said that Corazon Aquino has a pivotal significance in the history of the Philippines.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" >, with a Chinese background, is an aristocratic family in the Philippines</h1>
Corazon herself has said that she is a Chinese, because her grandfather was a Chinese! As early as 1861, her grandfather traveled to the Philippines for business reasons and accumulated his wealth as the Philippines developed.
Soon their families were promoted from ordinary merchants to aristocrats at that time, with good influence. Under the education and cultivation of the family, Corazon eventually grew from a little girl to a generous female politician.
Corazon's education from an early age was outstanding, and she even traveled to the United States to study at the age of 15. A good academic background allowed Corrazon to be resourceful and possess the ability to see, understand, and analyze things thoroughly, which laid the foundation for his future presidency. In addition, the Corazon Aquino family is also a political family, and her brother and father have served in such positions as Philippine senators.

There was one person in Corazon Aquino's life who was important, and that was a young classmate she met in law school, Ninoy Aquino. Both men shared political ambitions and similar personalities, so they married not long after they met. At that time, In order to support her husband to complete her political dreams, Corazon Aquino became a housewife and fully supported her husband Nino, hoping that her husband would achieve success in the political field.
Unfortunately, Nino was suppressed for not being able to achieve his political ambitions, and Nino was arrested and imprisoned for opposing the Marcos regime at the time. During the time her husband was jailed, Corazon Aquino was alone in raising two of their children. During these years, Corazon's grief is unimaginable, but it is precisely because of this grief that her character has been sharpened and made her stronger.
But the turning point soon came, and in the 1978 parliamentary elections, Nino, who was in prison, also participated in the election, becoming one of the most promising candidates. Nino himself did not come out of prison to participate in the campaign speech because of the reasons for the prison, but was given a speech by his wife, Corazon, who also overcame his shy personality traits in order to help his husband win the victory, and went to the podium and gave a wonderful speech.
Although the speech brought Corazon to prominence, her husband still did not win because the Marcos government was still in power, so he used his power to manipulate the election results.
Fortunately, the voice of public opinion was quite opinionated about the election results, which prompted the Marcos government to exile the Nino family to the United States. Saying that exile is actually more like a relief, nino in the United States is well cared for, and the family's life in the United States is particularly relaxed, avoiding domestic political infighting. Unfortunately, Marcos did not spare Nino and eventually assassinated Nino while he was on the plane.
After her husband's departure, Corazon was devastated, as were the people of the Philippines. At this time, Corazon showed the wisdom and strength that a leader should have, and she stood up and led the pro-Nino crowd to a demonstration to protest the assassination of her husband. At the same time, Corazon also decided to stand up and enter politics because of her husband's death, and began to openly challenge Marcos.

However, the Marcos government at that time did not take Corazon seriously, because in their view, Corazon was not much of a woman, so even if Corazon was fully prepared for this election at that time, he was not looked at by his opponents.
It was because of his opponent's carelessness that Corazon eventually won a big victory and became the first female president of the Philippines in 1986, forcing his former political opponents to step down and submit.
After Corazon took office, she did not apologize to the people who had supported her, but was bent on the welfare of the people. During his tenure, Corazon did many great things, including "expelling" the U.S. military.
Before Corrazon, the United States had been entrenched in the Philippines under the pretext of helping to build the Philippines, which had a great influence on the philippines' democratic autonomy. Therefore, after Corazon took office, he quickly used his iron fist to argue with the United States, and finally drove the United States out of the Philippines. The news that the United States celebrated the departure of the Philippines has also strengthened the filipino people's admiration and love for Corrazon.
Corazon is a very good woman, she has a keen political vision, after persuading the U.S. military to leave the homeland, leading the development of the motherland and the people, making the Philippines continue to grow stronger. However, for the leadership of Corazon, the supporters of Marcos, the former ruler, tried to kill Corazon's life by means of political assassination, but the female president with iron fist and cleverness and wisdom repeatedly defused the crisis and spent the rest of her life safely.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > summary</h1>
For this excellent Chinese female president, I don't know how everyone feels after learning about her deeds? In fact, I believe that more people still have a shock in their hearts, first of all, as a Chinese woman, under the condition of her husband's death, she bravely stood up, used her ability to do justice for her husband, and successfully elected the female president of the Philippines, which can be said to be a great woman who is bound to go down in history.
At the same time, After taking office, Corazon Aquino was bent on planning for the development of the Philippines, and from the perspective of persuading the US army to leave the Philippines, she deeply influenced the development of the Philippines for decades and saved the Filipino people from fire and water. Such a woman, who does not let her eyebrows be shaved, is the pride of the Philippines and the pride of the Chinese!
