Wrangling Over the Body of Deceased Pinoy Congressman
The remains of Negros Occidental Representative Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo Jr. won’t be arriving anytime soon after his partner Grace Ibuna filed an injunction to stop the transfer, according to the late lawmaker’s legal wife.
Contrary to the perception that she and Ibuna were fighting over the remains, Alicia “Aleli” Morales-Arroyo said she did not have to slug it out with Ibuna because she had rights over the body.
Her lawyer, Lorna Kapunan, meanwhile cautioned the late congressman’s family, particularly his older brother Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo, to be wary of any information they were being given. She said they were being misinformed about the return of Iggy’s remains.
