Subject: Philippines mourns Corazon Aquino

Full report on BBC News Online
The Philippines has declared 10 days of mourning for its former leader Corazon Aquino, Asia's first female president, who has died at the age of 76.
Flags are at half-mast and hundreds of people have tied symbolic yellow ribbons to cars and trees.
Mrs Aquino had been suffering from colon cancer for more than a year and recently refused further treatment.
She became president when the 1986 "people power" uprising deposed dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
Hundreds of people have been visiting her home and the shrine where her 1986 revolution culminated, leaving yellow flowers and lighting candles.
Mrs Aquino's body will lie in state at the De La Salle Catholic school in Manila from Saturday evening to Monday morning.
She will be buried beside her husband at the Manila Memorial Park in a private ceremony on Wednesday, her son said.

BTW: Aquino was entitled to a state burial, but her relatives declined.

Ferd Marcos' son, Bobgbong, showed up at Imelda's wake, and for a few minutes chatted cordially with her son Ballsy and her grandchild Jiggy.
And no, I'm not making this up. ;D
