cory aquino on hk's broadsheet
Today is the funeral of former Philippine president Corazon Cojuangco Aquino and it's a special non-working holiday in the Philippines. Here in Hong Kong, yesterday's front page of the leading English broadsheet, South China Morning Post, featured an image of the coffin of Mrs. Aquino amongst very big crowd. Inside news were about President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo being warned by her allies against angering Aquino mourners and Imelda Marcos seeking reconcilation with Cory's family.
