Former President and Pampanga 2nd District Representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo appealed to the public on Monday to pray for her family as both her husband and son are currently dealing with health problems.
In a social media post, Arroyo revealed that her husband, Mike Arroyo, is scheduled to undergo a major surgery on April 7 to address a heart condition, which will involve both a bypass and an aortoplasty.
"This has been a difficult time for the family. First, my husband Mike’s dissecting aortic aneurysm that required an emergency repair in 2007 is expanding again, and he will have to undergo a big surgery, combining a bypass and an aortoplasty, on April 7 to avert another emergency," said Arroyo.
She went on to reveal that Mikey, her son, underwent a successful surgery for stage one thyroid cancer on March 18.
Additionally, she shared the sad news that her nephew-in-law, Paowee Tantoco, has passed away.
"I have been spending much time with my constituents in Pampanga because I will be leaving soon for Singapore for Mike’s surgery," Arroyo stated.
“Please pray for my family,” she added.
