CONGRATULATIONS--and a breath of relief--are in order for Corazon Aquino and the people of the Philippines. While the results of the February 2 plebiscite have not yet been completely tallied, it appears that Aquino has been granted an overwhelming mandate for the continuation of her presidency. Over three-quarters of the voters supported her draft constitution...
...last week's bungled takeover in Manila was a pretty tame affair. Few were hurt, and only one rebel soldier was killed. Despite some rock throwing and a few blasts of tear gas, the 61-hour drama often seemed more like a soap opera than a mutiny. Still, President Corazon Aquino did not need even a small rebellion on the eve of a critical vote on her proposed new constitution. She could not be happy that, for the second time in two months, she had to be rescued by her divided military. Nor could she be sanguine about a failed...
...proud to have been associated with TIME's journalistic excellence, which has included exclusive interviews with Ronald Reagan, Corazon Aquino and Ethiopia's Mengistu Haile Mariam.

...When she looked out from the lectern at 15,000 supporters chanting "Cory! Cory!" in Legaspi, 215 miles southeast of Manila, President Corazon Aquino was clearly moved. "I know you still love me," she said. Indeed they did. Swept into office eleven months ago on a tidal wave of popularity, the former housewife depended on that support to overcome a possible coup last November. But now she may be wondering just how that love will be expressed in the weeks ahead as she deals with a pair of pressing problems...
