Pasay RTC Branch 112 legal researcher Felda Domingo told reporters that Mrs. Arroyo, now Pampanga Representative, will be leaving Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) at 7:30 in the morning to attend the 10am mass at La Vista.

“The Judge agreed only on the Friday funeral mass. As soon as the body of Congressman Iggy Arroyo [leaves] La Vista, she will be brought back to VMMC,” Domingo said.

Rep. Arroyo is currently under hospital arrest at VMMC for allegations of manipulating the result of the 2007 elections.
