Best Answer

The first woman president to be elected in the Philippines is Corazon C. Aquino, also known as Cory Aquino. She was born in January 25, 1933 and died in August 1, 2009. Her sons and daughters were sorry for her, especially her daughter Kris Aquino. But she really had the right to do that because that was her mother who died.
