Corazon Aquino was elected to the presidency of the Philippines in 1986 following a tumultuous period of political unrest. She emerged as the primary opposition candidate against the incumbent dictator Ferdinand Marcos after the assassination of her husband, Benigno Aquino Jr. in 1983. The election, held on February 7, 1986, was marked by widespread allegations of fraud, leading to the People Power Revolution, where millions of Filipinos peacefully protested. Ultimately, Marcos was ousted, and Aquino was inaugurated as the first female president of the Philippines on February 25, 1986.
