Aquino Taken by Willie Vicoy in 1986, the photo shows late President Cory Aquino in one of her vigorous campaigns in the streets of Manila. The rain did not stop her motorcade and people lined up the streets as they passed by. The themes of her campaign were honesty, sincerity, simplicity, and religious faith. The death of Ninoy changed everything for her. In full dignity, she accepted Ninoy's death as an act of fate. At first she was considered inconsequential and weak when, in fact, she was the strongest. The horizons of her fortitude expanded and she faced the ultimate challenge of leading the people to freedom. "The restoration of freedom and civil liberties was just the beginning of Corazon C. Aquino's fight. From the time she stepped down from power up to her sunset years, she embarked on a vigorous campaign to empower Filipinos – through education, cultural development, and business growth." (Rodrigo, 2009) In every speech she delivered, she defined her philosophy of government in simple terms. The people were prepared to listen to what she had to say. She gained confidence as the crowd who followed her grew in size, at first a few hundreds, and then a million – and the crowd even grew bigger when she was laid down to rest, proving that her magic lives on.
