Part of the bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, Corazon Aquino tells the inspiring story of the first female president of the Philippines.
For over two decades, Rapa Lopa had in his possession never-before-seen video interviews of his aunt, the late President Corazon C. Aquino, where she recounted, in vivid detail, the life-changing events of her family from the 1972 declaration of martial law until her assumption to the presidency following the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution. These rare and private interviews, filmed at her office in the Cojuangco building in 1996, were meant to assist the Philippine democracy icon in writing her autobiography, which remained unfinished when she passed away in 2009. Twenty-three years later, upon the prodding of her spiritual adviser Fr. Catalino Arevalo, S.J., Lopa decided to resurrect the tapes and transcriptions and compile an edited selection of her stories into a book. The result of these collected remembrances is To Love Another Day, the unpublished memoirs of Cory Aquino from the most pivotal and transformative chapter of her life, narrated in her candid, unadorned, yet evocative, prose. It is the powerful and compelling tale of a woman who found herself catapulted into the eye of the country's political storm and how she weathered the challenges that fate had thrust upon her.
Traces the life of the woman who won election as the first woman president of the Philippines in 1986.

A detailed investigation of the contemporary Philippine Left, focusing on the political challenges and dilemmas that confronted activists following the disintegration of the Marcos regime and the reestablishment of electoral democracy under Corazon Aquino. The authors focus on such varied topics as peasant politics, urban social movements, purges and executions, and Marxist theory.
The "people power" revolution that brought Corazon Aquino, widow of assassinated opposition leader Benigno Aquino, to the presidency of the Philippines in 1986 seemed to promise a new era in the troubled history of that nation. The downfall of the Marcos regime and the advent of a new leadership inspired by an apparent idealism and concern for pressing social problems were met with international enthusiasm and optimism. Ultimately, however, the Aquino presidency proved ineffectual. Although Cory Aquino achieved her office by projecting the image of a bereaved widow unsophisticated in political matters and desirous of a new and better Philippines, she rivaled her predecessor in refusing to deliver many of the reforms necessary for her country's advancement beyond poverty and corruption. Robert H. Reid and Eileen Guerrero, both seasoned journalists, reported on the political scene in the Philippines throughout the Aquino administration, and their in-depth analysis in Corazon Aquino and the Brushfire Revolution offers a vivid, insightful record of those turbulent years. Drawing from a wealth of interview sources, primary and secondary documents, and their own close familiarity with Filipino society and government, the authors elucidate the complex political world of the Philippines.
The Duterte administration is often considered a rupture in Philippines’ politics. Yet, how different is Duterte’s programme of change from the past governments, particularly from its predecessor, the Aquino II administration? Is there a shift in regime orientation and policy preferences from Aquino II to Duterte? What will this mean to the future direction of Philippine democracy, its economic development, peace and security, and relations with other countries? This volume focuses on four critical areas—politics and governance; economic governance; Mindanao peace process; and international relations—to illustrate continuities or discontinuities in policies and governance of institutions to explain the dynamics of change in the Philippines. It pays particular attention to the crucial period between Aquino II and the early years of Duterte. The reason is that Aquino II represents an important period for rebuilding and consolidating institutions of governance and accountability after two previous tumultuous administrations. Yet Aquino II also demonstrates the inherent flaws of Philippine democracy and unravels the contradictory forces vying for state power that sets the scene for Duterte’s rise. Reflecting on the crucial transition period between the two presidencies, while also providing a much-needed update on the most noteworthy policy changes since Duterte’s inauguration, the book fills an important scholarly gap in understanding Asia’s oldest and most puzzling democracy.
