Ex-Philippines President Cory Aquino Fast away: Former President Corazon Aquino, who swept abroad a absolutist with a “people power” defection and again abiding capitalism by angry off seven accomplishment attempts in six years, died on Saturday, her son said. She was 76. (more…)
The first time I saw her in the TV was in a show in ABS-CBN, if I’m not mistaken I think it was Korina Sanchez who featured her. At first glance, you can’t see anything special about her, it’s hard to see the X-Factor many designers have seen in her 2 decades ago. But then, maybe because of her age now or just because I don’t have the eye for that thing.  :D
 
But while watching her, you can’t help but be awed coz ”This is the girl who made it in the international scene of modeling, she is the top designers favorite before, one of the best Filipina models we can be proud of.” In that case her name is really big in the modeling world. An institution in Philippines Modeling History.
