Yellow ribbons line España Blvd. as PNoy remains lie in state at QC chapel

Yellow ribbons appeared along a stretch of España Boulevard in Manila on Friday, a day after the death of former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III shocked the country early on June 24, 2021.

The yellow ribbons' appearance along the boulevard coincides with the public viewing of the former president's remains at the Church of the Gesu inside the Ateneo de Manila University's Quezon City campus.

On Thursday,  President Rodrigo Duterte declared a 10-day period of mourning for “Noynoy,” who passed away due to renal disease secondary to diabetes.

"PNoy" or President Noynoy, is the middle child and only son of former President Corazon Aquino and slain opposition Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr., icons of Philippine democracy.
