Corazon C. Aquino

Corazon Aquino and Democracy in the Philippines.

Corazon C. Aquino

(Born- January 25, 1933)

Seventh and First Woman President of the Republic of the Philippines

(Term: February 25, 1986- June 30, 1992)

Corazon Aquino was a political leader and president from (1986 to 1992) of the Philippines.

In 1983 she succeeded her husband and senator, Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. as leader of the opposition to then president Ferdinand Marcos. Aquino was assassinated in the same year at the then Manila International Airport following his arrival from the US where he stayed for seven years.

No one could have imagined that Mrs. Aquino would become president, the first woman to lead the country after Marcos was ousted in a military-backed popular revolt that she spearheaded in 1986. When Marcos called for a presidential election in February 1986, Mrs. Aquino became the unified opposition's candidate. Although she was officially reported to have lost the election to Marcos, Aquino and her supporters challenged the results, charging widespread voting fraud. High officials in the Philippine military soon publicly renounced Marcos’ continued rule and proclaimed Aquino the Philippines rightful president. On Feb. 25, 1986, both Aquino and Marcos were inaugurated as president by their respective supporters but that same day Marcos fled the country.  Mrs. Aquino has been diagnosed with colon cancer early in 2008 and has been confined at the Makati Medical Center for more than a month. Mrs. Aquino, widow of Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., will be remembered as an icon of democracy, having led a military-backed popular revolt in 1986 that ousted a dictator who ruled the country for 20 years.

At about 5 a.m. outside the hospital, Noynoy read a statement announcing the death of his mother.

The statement read:"Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m., August 1, 2009, of cardio-respiratory arrest. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo expressed her condolences to the family of the former President, Arroyo's press secretary said.The President is set to declare a week of national mourning, said Press Secretary Cerge Remonde in a live phone patch from the US where he is accompanying Arroyo who is on official visit there

Mrs. Aquino, who became recognized worldwide as an icon of democracy after millions of people against the Marcos administration placed her in power during the 1986 EDSA revolution, earlier received prayers for her recovery from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Pope Benedict XVI. US Ambassador Kristie Kenney said she delivered Clinton’s personal letter to Mrs. Aquino’s family Thursday, and later attended a healing Mass for the 76-year-old democracy icon. In Vatican City, the Pope expressed his “spiritual closeness” to Mrs. Aquino after learning of her condition from Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, according to an article posted on the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Web site.

Corazon C.Aquino a hero and one of the greatest president live.

World Top 10 Highest-Paid Actresses

Im just curious about this who is the actress that has highest earning salary in hollywood. Here are the Following:

1. Reese Witherspoon ($15-$20 Million/Movie)

Reese Witherspoon took a hit with the box-office flop "Rendition" but looks to get back on track with the 2008 romantic comedy "Four Christmases."

2. Angelina Jolie ($15-$20 Million/Movie)

Angelina Jolie took a pay cut to $8 million for her role in "Beowulf," which butchered the competition at the box office.

3. Cameron Diaz ($15+ Million/Movie)

Diaz collected her largest payday to date, snaring $30 million for her voice role in "Shrek the Third."

4. Nicole Kidman ($10-$15 Million/Movie)

The pride of Australia did not have a career year in 2007. "Invasion" failed to conquer the box office and "Margot at the Wedding" underperformed as well.

5. Renee Zellweger ($10-$15 Million/Movie)

Zellweger can still bank off her "Bridget Jones" work and she helped herself with the buzz around this year's "Bee Movie." Next up Zellweger will appear in George Clooney's football romantic comedy "Leatherheads."

6. Sandra Bullock ($10-$15 Million/Movie)

Sandra Bullock will always have the "Speed" and "Miss Congeniality" franchises to draw on and this allows the actress to take on riskier roles like the reclusive Harper Lee in "Infamous" and she will appear in "All About Steve" with co-star Thomas Haden Church.

7. Juilia Roberts ($10-$15 Million/Movie)

 

Julia Roberts' recent time off to be a mom has hurt her bankability, but there is no denying she is still among the Hollywood elite. Roberts will return to the screen in Universal's "Charlie Wilson's War."

8. Drew Barrymore ($10-$12 Million/Movie)

 

Drew Barrymore impressed with her vocals alongside Hugh Grant in "Music and Lyrics." She also commands millions more with savvy producing choices, including "He's Just Not That Into You."

9. Jodie Foster ($10-12 Million/Movie)

 

Jodie Foster's latest film "The Brave One" exceeded box office expectations and Foster's additional role as executive producer bolstered her earnings. Foster typically takes a project a year but her latest hit films "Inside Man" and "Flightplan" prove the star is worth the wait.

10. Halle Berry ($10 Million/Movie)

 

 

Halle Berry's stunning performance in the little-watched "Things We Lost in the Fire" reminded viewers why she has a statue. Next up, Berry will team up with Billy Bob Thorton in "Tulia."

“Dancing in the Streets”

24th Kadayawan Festival

August 17-23, 2009

Our theme for this year is:

“Nahiusang Katawhan Nakigdait sa Kalibutan”

(“One People in Communion with the Earth”)

The life and culture of the indigenous peoples have always been linked to the land. Since time immemorial, Davao has been the homeland of the Indigenous Peoples and land has become the core of their existence. If their land is lost, so is their culture and traditions. Thus, there is a need to defend the indigenous peoples’ ancestral lands for them to continually live and practice their way of life- consulting the spirits, working with nature and sharing with others. This is the main reason of celebrating the Kadayawan sa Dabaw 2009.

Everybody were very excited for this event as people from different walks of life, of different ages, and of different culture, are gathered to witness the Indak-Indak (Street Dancing). It’s a whole day event so it’s a super long day for me.

Kadayawan festival

This year’s theme, “Naghiusang Katawhan Nakigdait sa Kalibutan” (“One People in Communion with the Earth”), fittingly responds to the need of the times as Dabawenyos are reminded of their responsibilities towards Mother Earth. As Davao’s indigenous tribes have deemed the earth as the core of their existence, they have also maintained a special connection to the earth which is also the source of the life, living, culture and traditions. Thus, the earth seriously needs to be given utmost care especially this time when climactic changes have affected the lives of many. That is the main cause of this year’s celebration.

Kadayawan, a celebration of thanksgiving for the gifts of nature, the wealth of culture, the bounties of harvest and serenity of living while paying tribute to Davao’s artistic, cultural, industrial and historical heritage, will officially begin on August 21, 2009 with “Dawow: Dayaw – Subay sa Suba”.

Under the “Lumadnong Kasaulogan” (Peoples Indigenous Festivals) component of the festival, referring to the showcase of the indigenous peoples’ culture and arts, the following events have been organized: “Hulagway sa Kaliwatan” (Indigenous Peoples Visual Arts Exhibit), a Visual Arts Competition and Exhibit featuring indigenous life ways (August 17-September 17, Museo Dabawenyo); “Panagtagbo”, the Ata Manobo, Ubo Manobo, K’lata, Tagabawa, Matigsalog, Maranao, Maguindanao, Tausug, Sama and Kalagan tribes’ celebration of thanksgiving of their oneness with the earth through performances, culinary fiesta and craftsmanship (August 20-21, Peoples Park and Rizal Park); “Hiyas sa Kadayawan”, the search for the Kadayawan Symbol, the indigenous lass who is knowledgeable of her indigenous culture and wisdom through a pageantry of Mindanaoan myths and legends (August 16, Gaisano Mall of Davao); and “Tugtogan sa Kahiusahan” (Mindanao Indigenous Peoples Music Festival), performances of indigenous music virtuosos from all over Mindanao using various gong percussions, string and wind instruments (August 22, Peoples’ Park).

Meanwhile, under the “Subay Sa Lumadnong Kagikan” (Contemporary Indigenous-motivated Celebrations) component, illustrating the impact of the indigenous culture and traditions to contemporary artists and communities, the following events will be showcased: “Tunog Mindanaw” (World Music Festival), a Mindanao-wide competition of popular yet Mindanao tradition-based music (August 18, NCCC Mall); “Moda Mindanaw”, a fashion and floral design dompetition showcasing indigenous-inspired silhouettes, Mindanawon fabrics, and floral accessories (August 16, Gaisano Mall of Davao); “Sayaw Mindanaw”, competition of Mindanao myths, legends and folklores transformed into dance narratives by Mindanao-based dance groups (August 18-20, SM City Davao); “Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan”, street dancing competition and Mindanao festival showcases (August 22, downtown streets); “Pamulak Kadayawan”, the grand finale featuring floral float and parade competition (August 23, downtown streets); “Kalasikas”, contemporary music and dance concerts (August 17-23, Peoples Park); and “Pakonsyerto ni Mayor Rody ug Vice-Mayor Sara sa Kadayawan” (August 23, Rizal Park).
