MANILA -- Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, the former Philippine president and son of two of the country's greatest democracy icons, died from kidney disease on Thursday at the age of 61.
Aquino's cremated remains were interred on Saturday alongside his parents at Manila Memorial Park. The funeral convoy was greeted by supporters waiting by the roadside, some wearing the Aquinos' trademark yellow. Aquino's urn had been brought to the Ateneo de Manila University, his alma mater, for a public viewing on Friday and for the funeral mass on early Saturday.
