People from all walks of life flocked to the La Salle gymnasium in Greenhills, San Juan City to pay their last respects to former President Corazon Cojuanco Aquino who died early Saturday morning due to cardio-respiratory arrest.

Trishia P. Octaviano, secretariat and one of those in charge to handle the crowd, said that as early as 8 a.m. Sunday, an estimated 2,000 people have already lined up inside and outside the La Salle Greenhills campus to catch a glimpse of the former president who died at about 3:18 a.m. at the Makati Medical Center.

Aquino’s remains were brought to the school’s gymnasium Saturday afternoon in order for the people to get the chance to see the beloved president for the last time.
