Gloria Arroyo’s camp says she also suffers from anorexia; formal request for "hospital arrest" filed

ABS-CBNNews.com reports that  Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo lawyers filed a formal request for "hospital arrest" on Wednesday, November 23, at the Pasay Regional Trial Court.

In addition to her existing medical problems, they said Arroyo is also suffering from anorexia nervosa or lack of appetite. To support their claim, they presented a medical certificate wherein "conservative management" was recommended for the former president. Arroyo remains confined at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

The Pasay RTC had already granted the Arroyo camp’s request for temporary hospital arrest after she was hospitalized last week.

In light of this development, the Department of Justice urged the Supreme Court to "issue a subpoena for Arroyo’s physicians to explain before the Court her real medical condition."
