Overholt, an American banker based in Hong Kong, whose wife was the daughter of a retired Filipino general, raised money for Aquino’s campaign and provided for her security by recruiting former operatives from British and Australian intelligence.

Lugar, Republican of Indiana, also played a key role as co-chairman of a delegation of 20 American congressmen, state officials, clergymen and others chosen to observe the voting.
