Abstract

Twelve months after the February “revolution” in the Philippines, Cory Aquino has won a landslide victory in the vote on her Constitution and, more directly, for her presidency until 1992. She has been lionised as “Time’s (Wo) Man of the Year” and become the idol of western politicians, the mass media and of many who wish the Philippines only well.
