August 3, 2009 (FPRC) -- Former Philippine president Corazon Aquino passed away last Saturday, August 1, after battling colon cancer for over a year. As news of her death made headlines in her homeland, the Philippines, and all over the world, words of appreciation and gratitude have poured out toward her and her surviving family.
Media fondly recalls how Mrs. Aquino ushered the return of democracy to the Philippines after her rise to the presidency ousted Ferdinand Marcos from his 20-year dictatorship of the republic. Others call to mind the title and honor held by Aquino as the first female president of the Philippines and Asia. After assuming the presidency, she became known as an icon of democracy.
Many memories of the former president now surface in light of her passing - those of her life as a plain housewife of former senator Benigno Aquino Jr.; of her being a mother to five children,; of her being a friend, sister, daughter and colleague.
More prominently, people are now starting to recall her life as the 11th president of the Philippines, serving from 1986 to 1992. Such recollection is chronicled in the self-published book, The Philippine Presidency -- From Ferdinand Marcos to Joseph Estrada: Patterns of Leadership. Author Udo Moses Williams focuses on four pivotal presidencies of the Philippines, including Corazon Aquino's administration.
This Xlibris release is a comparative study of four successive presidents between 1965 and 2001. The period coincides with two People Power Revolutions. The first brought President Corazon Aquino to power in 1986; the second removed President Joseph Estrada from office in 2001. Williams presents a comparative examination of the four successive presidencies and exposes discernible patterns of leadership in the presidents’ grapple to attain and retain power, to deal with social and economic ills, and to suppress multifarious rebellions.
The Philippine Presidency is a stunning documentation of 36 years of political challenges and changes in the country's administration, which includes the rise of Corazon Aquino to the highest leadership position in the Philippines.
The Philippine Presidency -- From Ferdinand Marcos to Joseph Estrada: Patterns of Leadership is published by Xlibris.
