She is joined by daughters Pinky, left, Balsy, center, and her mother-in-law Dona Aurora Aquino, mother of her assassinated husband. On Feb. 25, 1986, the Philippines was a country that appeared to be on the edge of chaos or civil war with some of the same fear and uncertainty now spreading across the Arab world.
