In Manila, Ferdinand Marcos's mother Josefa Edralin Marcos was entombed after a long vigil by supporters who denounced Aquino. Pope John Paul II plans a Prague visit in April as Prague and the Vatican seek restored ties. Japan aims for a moon mission with the Muses A, seeking to become the third nation to reach the Moon after Luna 24.
