Cory's Funeral Cortege Now Approaching Manila Cathedral — Democracy's Enduring Icon Gets a Rousing Welcome in Ayala Avenue, Makati

3 August 2009 1:46pm

The funeral cortege bearing the remains of President Cory is approaching Manila Cathedral from a rousing welcome in Ayala Avenue, Makati after moving out of the De La Salle Greenhills stadium at past 11am this morning.

Tens of thousands of people lined the streets to show their love and respect for the late president as the convoy wound its way slowly through Ortigas, EDSA, Ayala Avenue, Buendia, South Superhighway, Quirino Avenue, Roxas Boulevard, Rizal Park and on to the Intramuros area where the Manila Cathedral is located.  As I write (1:59pm), the cortege is most probably approaching Roxas Boulevard.
