Grace Ibuna and Iggy Arroyo

Dear insansapinas,

Grace Ibuna was the only one close to Iggy Arroyo who was with him when he was declared clinically dead after suffering from cardiac arrest. He was having treatment for his liver cirhossis. 

Grace Ibuna was the former companion of Gabby Concepcion from whom she has a daughter, Garie Concepcion.

Iggy Arroyo was estranged from his legal wife.

Now, she does not know what to do with the demise of her current companion, Iggy Arroyo. Her daughter Garie entered show business so is the half-sister Chloie, the daughter of Gabby Concepcion and Jenny Syquia.

BACOLOD CITY—Businesswoman Grace Ibuna was not giving up hope on her longtime companion, Negros Occidental Representative Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo Jr., when reached by the Philippine Daily Inquirer early Thursday.

Arroyo was reported dead Thursday night after being taken off life support in London.

“I am pleading with him to fight for his life. I am hoping and praying for a miracle,” a weeping Ibuna told the Inquirer by phone from London.

“It all happened so fast,” she said, and called for prayers from supporters and friends.

Iggy Arroyo, a younger brother of Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo, the husband of former President and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, was put on life support at London Clinic after suffering cardiac arrest at around 11 p.m. on Wednesday (about 7 a.m. on Thursday in Manila).

He was afflicted with cirrhosis of the liver and has been undergoing treatment in London since last year. Ibuna said she was the only family member with him because the other relatives went home after the holidays.
