Former Philippine President Fidel Valdez Ramos, a US-trained ex-general who saw action in the Korean and Vietnam wars and played a key role in a 1986 pro-democracy uprising that ousted a dictator, has died. He was 94. It was not immediately clear what caused his death but one of his longtime aides, Norman Legaspi, told AP that Ramos had been in and out of the hospital in recent years due to a heart condition and had suffered from dementia.
