MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang on Tuesday expressed condolences for the family of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo after the death of her one-year-old grandson.

While the Sandiganbayan first division denied Arroyo’s request for a house arrest to grieve for her family’s loss, it allowed the Pampanga lawmaker, who is facing plunder charges, to attend her grandson’s wake from November 4 to 9.

“We respect the decision of the Sandiganbayan and we condole with her and Luli for the death of their grandson and child,” Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said.
