This piece explores the relevance of Cory Aquino's legacy for younger Filipinos. While celebrated for her role in the People Power Revolution and presidency, her story offers enduring lessons on leadership, resilience, and collective action that resonate with today's youth facing unique challenges.
Cory Aquino’s legacy, while often celebrated in the context of the People Power Revolution and her presidency, holds a deeper resonance for today’s younger Filipinos—millennials and Gen Z—who face a vastly different set of challenges. As we commemorate her birthday anniversary, having been born on January 25, 1933, I find her story offers enduring lessons on leadership, resilience, and collective action that remain profoundly relevant in our current socio-political landscape.
Today’s youth are navigating an age of hyper-connectivity and rapid change. They are exposed to global movements for climate action, social justice, and political reform. In this context, Cory’s ability to galvanize collective action during a national crisis offers a blueprint for how ordinary citizens can come together to achieve extraordinary outcomes. Her ascent to power was not an individual triumph but the result of collective agency.
For millennials and Gen Z who aspire to lead—whether in public service, business, or civic organizations—Cory’s journey offers a valuable lesson in resilience. Leadership is not about avoiding setbacks but learning to navigate them with grace and purpose. Her ability to maintain composure amidst relentless criticism and adversity is something that today’s leaders, often scrutinized under the unforgiving lens of social media, would do well to emulate.
