 On September
18, 1986,
almost seven
months after
she became
the eleventh
President of
the Philippine
Republic,
Maria Corazon
“Cory”
Cojuango
Aquino
delivered a
speech before
the joint
session of the
United States
Congress in
Washington
DC.

 As the new
President of
the country,
she went
over some of
her plans to
restore the
government
first by
reinstituting
and amending
the Philippine
Constitution,
as well as to
start
reintegration
programs for
the healing of
the different
localities in the
country.

 She also
acknowledged
the 26 billion-
dollar debt
 acquired by
the Marcos
regime,
managed to
create
negotiations to
be able to
gradually pay
for it in behalf
of the previous
administration,
and lodged an
appeal from
the foreigners
for further
assistance.

 I find it
extremely
exciting the
fact that
democracy
and freedom
mattered to
the Filipinos
more than
their
socioeconomic
situation. The
people had
strong values
and beliefs
that they
would not let
oppressors
abuse their
rights and
privileges as
citizens of the
country.
