So far, seven attempted coups have failed to unseat Philippine President Corazon Aquino. But after a long siege, she has admitted defeat by her youngest daughter Kristina. As a birthday gift, Kris, who turns 18 on Valentine's Day, will finally get to star in a movie. "She kept nagging me," says the President. "She likes to talk."
