Gov't, Iggy Siblings On Aleli's Side
MANILA, Philippines — The legal wife of late Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio “Iggy” T. Arroyo is convinced she will secure custody of her husband’s remains and supervise the wake and interment here in the Philippines with the help of the government and the congressman’s siblings.
Lawyer Lorna Kapunan, counsel for Alicia Rita “Aleli” Morales Arroyo, said the London funeral parlor which has temporary custody of the remains of the deceased opposition solon is not expected to cremate the body despite orders from Iggy’s livein partner, Grace Ibuna.
Kapunan said cremation will need the consent of the Philippine embassy in London which had received specific instructions from Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Albert F. del Rosario to assist the legal wife in having the body repatriated to the Philippines.
