Corazon Aquino’s Speech Before the U.S Congress
September 18, 1986 when Corazon Aquino had her speech before the joint session of United States Congress. She called on America to help our nation in maintaining its freedom. Corazon Aquino’ s speech was started by uncountable references about her husband, former Senator Ninoy Aquino whom the Filipino nation had designated as the anti-Marcos poster boy. Her speech begins when she leaves America to bury her husband who was shot at the tarmac of the Manila International Airport and now known as NAIA (Ninoy Aquino’s International Airport). She then continues it on how does the former Senator Ninoy Aquino serves his Filipino citizens to achieve it freedom, on how he survived the torture in a military camp and how a loving father he is to his son and daughters. Furthermore, in the end of her speech she thanked the America for the home that they gave to Ninoy, herself and their children. As well as asking the America to join her to build a new home for democracy and freedom. The speech of Cory Aquino serves as a primary source of the Philippines’ Martial Law era. Cory pleaded for those who were victims of the Marcos dictatorship in her address, telling how the death of her husband started the first People Power Revolution, with Filipinos screaming for freedom and democracy. It carries the pain of the people, which sparked as a struggle against evil oppression as Filipinos rallied for independence. Such agony grew into power, resulting in a nation’s victory. Cory became a metaphor for democracy, empowering a politically marginalized population. Corazon Aquino’s speech has a big contribution in our understanding about our Philippine History. In her speech, she has shared many information’s about our history where we can preserve it for the next generations. Her speech helps us more to understand our past history about the revolution and martial law. Pre Test 1.) FALSE 6.) TRUE 2.) TRUE 7.) TRUE 3.) FALSE 8.) FALSE 4.) TRUE 9.) TRUE 5.) FALSE 10.) FALSE
