Tributes For The Late Former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III
Many are paying their respects with the confirmation of his death on June 24
Former Philippine President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III died on the morning of June 24, Thursday, after being rushed to the hospital.
It was known that the 61-year-old had been undergoing dialysis and was managing other health problems for sometime, but the true state of his physical health had remained undisclosed for years. Since ending his term in 2016, he has lived mostly a private life and has made very few public appearances.
His family has released an official statement about his passing, which his younger sister, Kris Aquino, shared on her Instagram page.

Nakakadurog ng puso ang balitang wala na si PNoy. Mabuti siyang kaibigan at tapat na Pangulo. He tried to do what was right, even when it was not popular. Tahimik at walang pagod siyang nagtrabaho para makatulong sa marami. He will be missed. Nakikiramay ako sa kanyang pamilya. pic.twitter.com/mqzrPKA6dr

I was the reporter assigned to cover PNoy’s campaign in 2010. I had a front row seat to how crowds met him as they barnstormed around the country. Oftentimes I had to find means to catch up with his campaign team. RIP PNoy. pic.twitter.com/WKVas05hXe

Noynoy and I may have had political differences during the last few years of his term, but that will not diminish the many years of friendship between our families.
