“I extend my deepest condolences to the people of the Philippines on the death of former President Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino III. He was a valued friend and partner to the United States, and he will long be remembered for serving his country with integrity and selfless dedication,” Biden said.
Biden also paid tribute to Aquino’s efforts on advancing the Philippines’ peace and progress.
“President Aquino’s steadfast commitment to advancing peace, upholding the rule of law, and driving economic growth for all Filipinos, while taking bold steps to promote the rules-based international order, leaves a remarkable legacy at home and abroad that will endure for years to come,” he said.
