THE cremated remains of former President Benigno Simeon 'Noynoy' Aquino 3rd have 'gone down the hill' as his urn left the premises of the Church of the Gesu in Ateneo de Manila University after the final mass.

During the homily, Archbishop of Lingayen-Dagupan Socrates Villegas described Aquino's death as 'nakakagulat, nakakahinayang, at nakakalungkot (surprising, regrettable, and sad).'
