Cory: An Intimate Portrait

Margie Penson-Juico

Cory: An Intimate Portrait is about Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino in various facets of her life: President Aquino on formal occasions; President Cory to those who prefer to be informal, at the same time wishing to show respect for both her and the office she held and continues to represent; Auntie Cory to biological relatives and Tita Cory to those simply fond of, and deferential to, her; Lola Cory to her grandchildren; and simply Cory to old friends.

The book’s strength and charm lie in its very form: firsthand stories by friends of President Cory’s for many years, by men and women who served in government, and by others whose lives she touched in countless ways.

These stories have been put together in this collection by an extraordinary person, herself one given the honor and privilege to work very closely with Mrs. Aquino from the day she became president—swept into Malacañang in February 1986 by a bloodless revolt now known to the world as People Power—to this day.
