so tell me please, what did she contribute?kris aquino?lol

I guess you were too young to witness democracy lost during Marcos era and restored during Aquino's time. Just to answer some of your questions:

Aquinos legacy: (Excerpts from my friends comment on another thread)

1. She made sure that there was the Family Code written to protect the
interests of women and children. Dati walang karapatan ang mga illegitimate
children. Pero in the Family Code, nagkaroon ng legitime (share in
inheritance) ang mga illegitimate children sa property ng biological parent
nila. Saka there were provisions to help them prove their filiation (paano
sila related sa biological parent) nila. Of course, I've gotten into several
arguments before about the ethics and morality of these legal provisions but
let's not go into that.

2. She issued the proclamation creating the Constitutional Commission which
worked on the 1987 Philippine Constitution where they made sure there was a
system of check and balance sa 3 branches ng government. Most importantly,
the Constitution establishes the Philippines as a democratic and republican
state where the "sovereignty resides in the people and all government
authority emanates from them". I know... deep words but that's why we're
the beacon of democracy in this side of the world.

3. She was an example that women can be good leaders who can bring some
semblance of stability in an unstable environment. I remember na ang daming
coup d'etat dati during sa term niya. Pero instead of being vindictive, she
was very forgiving. Ang reaction ko dati, bakit niya pinag-push ups as
punishment ung mga gustong mag-overthrow sa kanya, kung ako siya eh
pinakulong ko na un (Amazona ba ang dating? Anyway, it was only years
later after studying our history that I have slowly began to understand the
forces in the Philippine society nang maintindihan ko ung motivations niya.
After all those years of repression and extrajudicial slayings (or
"salvaging"), our country needed time to heal and in her words time to
forgive. Pero sana lang, kahit magpatawad tayo, wag nating makalimutan ung
mga pinagdaanan natin para di na iyong maulit pa.
