which caused the protest against Governor Wood. (15 points)

In spite of the several setbacks he sustained, Wood was satisfied with the overall
cooperation given him by the leaders during his first year in office. While the Quezon-
Osmeiia rift caused some of the government's plans to be set aside, he was still pleased
with the progress made. During that first year, his request for government economy
resulted in the budget being reduced from $52,000,000 to $37,500,000. This was done
wlthoJ. lt any curtailment of public works, school construction or public health services.
At the Philippine government's urgent request, the United States Congress permitted a.

further increase in the debt limit of the Philippine Islands. This \vas the second time in

What were the initial difficulties President Cory Aquino faced during her term?
‘Philippine Air Lines Building Scandal’
“The PAL Scandal,” where Cory authorized in 1992 the sale of the PAL Building in San
Francisco, California. It resulted, according to the column of the late journalist Louie
Beltran, into a USD 6-million loss to the national airline. Cory did not charge Mr. Beltran
with libel on this issue about the PAL Building. She, however, did file a libel case against
        1.
Mr. Beltran and his publisher, Maximo V. Soliven on a separate issue, when Beltran
wrote that Mrs. Aquino “hid under her bed during a coup d’etat attempt at the presidential
palace in Manila.”
 Debt of $26 billion
Corazon Aquino is viewed a saint because we often compare her to the monster that
was Marcos. But a look at what she had done as president should convince us that she is
anything but. When Cory took power, the Philippine foreign debt was around $26 billion.
As a supposedly revolutionary government, her regime was well within its right
        2. to repudiate that debt, most of which were odious debts anyway. But Cory did not. She
succumbed to the pressure of international creditors, like the World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund, as well as governments such as the US, which propped up
the dictator Marcos (a support that, in turn, allowed him to amass all that debt) and
later propped up Cory.
