Tens of thousands took to the rain-soaked streets of Manila on August 5, to bid farewell to Aquino, who overthrew a dictatorship to become a totem of 'people power'. Aquino, who died aged 76 at the weekend after a long battle with cancer, was to be buried in a private ceremony after a long funeral procession skirting the Philippine capital's gleaming business towers and teeming shantytowns.
