MANILA: Former Philippine President Benigno Aquino, the son of two of the Southeast Asian country's democracy icons, died on Thursday after being hospitalised in Manila.

His namesake father, a senator who staunchly opposed the rule of Ferdinand Marcos, was assassinated when he returned home from political exile in 1983. He was a three-term member of the House of Representatives between 1998 and 2007, representing the sugar-growing Tarlac province north of Manila.
