The Philippines’ 15th President, Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino III, has passed away today, June 24.
He died shortly after being rushed to the Capitol Medical Center in Quezon City. He was 61 years old and is survived by sisters Kris Aquino, Victoria Elisa Aquino-Dee, Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, and Pinky Aquino-Abellada.
Serving the country from 2010 to 2016, Noynoy was simply dubbed PNoy during his presidency. Social media mournings have since poured in from both political allies and adversaries.
During his presidency, Noynoy had also brushed shoulders and gained support from a number of showbiz names. Here are some names who’ve shown support—and now grieve—the former commander in chief.

In my opinion: Pnoy is by far the most honest, risky, thrifty, honorable and competent President since I became Human. #SONA2013
