Former President Corazon C. Aquino, the country’s first female president who re-established the bicameral Congress. She also forging good economic standing amongst the international community and emphasizing free market and responsible economy. Her administration conducted peace talks to resolve the Moro Conflict and the result of these talks was creation of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. To honor her greatness and to introduce her legacy to the new generation, Pasay City Government had established an education institution and named after her. “President Cory has been an icon of nationalism and we would like to instill the same love for the country that she exemplified on our students; hence, we named this new school after her,” said former City Mayor now Hon. Congressman Antonino G. Calixto.
