State funeral held for Ex-Philippine leader Ramos

Former Philippine President Fidel Ramos was laid to rest in a state funeral. Ramos's family said he died July 31 at age 94 from COVID-19 complications at the Makati Medical Center.

His cremated remains were placed in his grave after a funeral procession led by honor guards and his family, which was showered with flower petals from two helicopters.

Current Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. attended the ceremony. A son of a longtime legislator and foreign secretary, Ramos graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1950.
