Life of Corazon Aquino Introduction Christology is a field of study within Christian theology which is concerned with the nature of Jesus the Christ, particularly with how the divine and human are related in his person. Christology is generally less concerned with the details of Jesus' life than with how the human and divine co-exist in one person. Although this study of the inter-relationship of these two natures is the foundation of Christology, some essential sub-topics within the field of Christology include: • the Incarnation, • the Resurrection, • and the salvific work of Jesus (known as soteriology). Christology is related to questions concerning the nature of God like the Trinity, Unitarianism or Binitarianism. However, from a Christian perspective, these questions are concerned with how the divine persons relate to one another, whereas Christology is concerned with the meeting of the human (Son of Man) and divine (God the Son) in the person of Jesus. Throughout the history of Christianity, Christological questions have been very important in the life of the Church. Christology was a fundamental concern from the First Council of Nicaea (325) until the Third Council of Constantinople (680). In this time period, the Christological views of various groups within the broader Christian community led to accusations of heresy, and, infrequently, subsequent religious persecution. In some cases, a sect's unique Christology is its chief distinctive feature; in these cases it is common for the sect to be known by the name given to its Christology. Christology is that part of theology which deals with Our Lord Jesus Christ. In its full extent it comprises the doctrines concerning both the person of Christ and His works; but in the present article we shall limit ourselves to a consideration of the person of Christ. Here again we shall not infringe on the domain of the historian and Old-Testament theologian, who present their respective contributions under the headings JESUS CHRIST, and MESSIAS; hence the theology of the Person of Jesus Christ, considered in the light of the New Testament or from the Christian point of view, is the proper subject of the present article. The person of Jesus Christ is the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, the Son or the Word of the Father, Who "was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary and was made man." These mysteries, though foretold in the Old Testament, were fully revealed in the New, and clearly developed in Christian Tradition and theology.

Body As president of the Republic of the Philippines (1986­1992), Corazon Cojuangco Aquino led her country's  difficult transition from dictatorship to democracy.   After re­establishing the democratic institutions, her  administration made them work, bringing about substantive economic and social reforms.   Through great  personal courage and unwavering commitment to non­violence, she successfully served her term in office  and presided over the peaceful and orderly transfer of power to her successor President Fidel V. Ramos. Born in Manila on January 25, 1933, Cory Aquino was educated in exclusive girls' schools in Manila, before  she left for the U.S.A. where she completed her high school and college education.  Her father was a three  term congressman.  Her mother, a pharmacist, was the daughter of a senator. Cory Aquino graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Mount Saint Vincent in New  York where she majored in French and minored in Mathematics.   Upon her return to the Philippines, she  pursued studies in Law which she discontinued upon her marriage to Benigno S. Aquino, Jr.  The marriage  was  blessed  with   four  daughters and one son,  and Mrs. Aquino is now the proud grandmother  of   five  grandsons and two granddaughters.

The late Senator Benigno S. Aquino, Jr., was assassinated on August 21, 1983, at the Manila International  Airport, becoming a martyr in the Philippines' struggle for democracy.   Senator Aquino, the Opposition  leader at the time of his death, had been the first person jailed upon the declaration of martial law in 1972.   He suffered incarceration in a military camp for seven years and seven months, with only a brief respite in  the U.S. to undergo heart surgery. For furthering the aspirations of her people for a just society and a better life while honoring Senator's  Aquino's memory, Cory Aquino has been conferred 16 honorary degrees from universities in the Philippines,  the U.S.A., Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Italy.  She was named Time magazine's Woman of the Year for  1986.   Following   her   administration's   international   initiatives   on   human   rights   and   on   issues   affecting  women,  children,  and the family, Cory Aquino now  serves  a co­president  of  the  Forum of  Democratic  leaders with Oscar Arias of Costa Rica, Sonja Gandhi of India, and Kim Dae­Jung of South Korea.   Her  leadership and her example have been recognized by the Martin Luther King Jr. Non­violent Peace Prize, the  United Nations Development Fund for Women's Noel Award for Political Leadership, and the 1993 Special  Peace Award from the Aurora Aragon Quezon Peace Awards and Concerned Women of the Philippines,  among other distinctions. Cory   Aquino   now   serves   as   chairperson   of   the   Benigno   S.   Aquino,   Jr.   Foundation,   which   awards  scholarships for education and develops linkages for non­governmental organizations to improve the quality  of life for Filipinos.   She is also chairperson of the Board of Advisors of the Metrobank Foundation and  serves as honorary chairperson of the Philippine National Centennial Commission, of the Foundation for  Clean Elections, of the Sulung Pampanga Foundation and the Piso't Puso ng Tarlac Foundation.
