1st Marriage Happy, Aquino Says She Won’t Try for Two
Philippine President Corazon Aquino has ruled out the idea of remarrying, saying she is content with her life and wary of the risks involved in tying the knot a second time.
“I think I am happy enough the way I am. As you know . . . I am not really a gambler,” she said in answer to a caller’s question on a weekly radio broadcast on Sunday night.
The 55-year-old widow was catapulted to power in 1986 almost three years after her husband, opposition leader Benigno S. Aquino, was shot dead at Manila airport.
“I am already fortunate enough to have had a happy marriage. I do not want to try again. . . . My life right now is OK,” she said.
