Former President and now Pampanga 2nd District Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has sought prayers for her family as her husband, former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, will undergo a “big surgery.”
In a statement posted on her Facebook page on Monday night, March 31, the congresswoman admitted this has been a “difficult time” for her family.
“My husband Mike’s dissecting aortic aneurism 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,” she said.
She also noted that his son Mikey underwent thyroid gland surgery on March 18 after biopsy-revealed a stage one cancer.
Arroyo said they were thankful that the surgery was successful.
The former president said Paowee Tantoco, the husband of their niece Dina, who spent the first four years of her life in their home, 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 said.
“Please pray for my family,” she said.
