Before Aquino, the nation was ruled by Ferdinand Marcos, a US-backed dictator. In the 80s, Marcos bowed to public pressure and scheduled a rigged election. The people didn’t stand for it and rose up behind Aquino when she protested; it was a quite apparent sham of an election and no one but Marcos and Reagan viewed it as legit. It was a quit beautiful moment in history to see people power win the day peacefully.
