This is because of the current difficulties involving both parties. She
handled Cory's speech, which was strong and had a significant
impact on the audience, bravely and boldly. She described what
had occurred to her family as well as how a tyrannical government
might be changed into a democratic one. Also, she battled for the
freedom of the Filipino people by speaking her mind and clearly
stating whatever she intended to say (Official Gazette 1986). On
the other side, Ferdinand Marcos spoke about the initiatives and
significant events in the Philippines. Cory Aquino also makes an
effort to show how the declaration of martial law coincided with a
number of unfortunate events in the Philippines during her speech.
As Aquino initially incited Marcos to commit his atrocities, they
should be made public. Although Aquino did not identify the crimes
perpetrated by Marcos, other scholars and researchers have
provided evidence of the political unrest that prevailed while martial
law was in effect. Cory Aquino also takes great pleasure in telling
the American Congress that the Philippines developed its
democracy on its own. However, Aquino makes an effort to appear
as though she needs US support to uphold the democracy, which
has once again gained ground. Not all Filipinos desire to live in a
dictatorship. They would fight with all their power for the Philippines'
hidden light. In conclusion, despite its poverty and political unrest,
the Philippines will prosper because all efforts are undertaken for
the greater good of society instead of individual gain. The Filipinos
were successful in saving many lives by forcing Marcos from office.
The Bill of Rights may have been strengthened by Cory Aquino to
reclaim the lost dignity of the Filipino people.
