Iggy might finally be brought home if the family stops squabbling.

A bit of a scandal here: His mistress was with him in London when he had a stroke, and okayed that the machines be turned off, and she wanted to bring him home, but the family nixed it. After a bit of a squabble, his daughter will accompany the body.

The remains of Negros Occidental Representative Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo will be brought home by his eldest child, Bianca, and not by his estranged second wife Alicia “Aleli” Arroyo or his longtime companion Grace Ibuna, the lawmaker’s brother said Sunday...

Bianca is the only child of Iggy and his first wife, Marilyn Jacinto, sister of entertainer Ramon “RJ” Jacinto.

And, of course, Iggy was the brother in law of our lovely ex president Gloria.
Who needs Dallas or Mad Men when politics is a soap opera? Indeed, the Corona trial is on TV every afternoon...
