Her spokesperson Elena Bautista-Horn told reporters through a text message that Arroyo asked her son Ang Galing Partylist Representative Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo to file her COC.

Television reports showed Arroyo’s son showing up at the Comelec office in San Fernando, Pampanga to file the COC on her behalf. Speculation has it that Arroyo’s daughter Luli would replace her in running for a seat at the House of Representatives if the former president is too ill to do so.

Horn has earlier denied this, saying that Luli will not be running in place of her mother.
