Rep. Iggy Arroyo, younger brother of former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo died of cardiac arrest in his London residence a few days ago. Reports say the Congressman was rushed immediately to a clinic but he was already in a coma and was brain-dead, he was put on a respirator for a while but he later expired when the machine was turned off.
Poor Iggy Arroyo, he was always the fall guy of Big Brother Mike. Remember the Jose Pidal bank accounts containing millions of pesos alleged to belong to the First Gentleman? Well, Iggy said he owned it, he even showed the media and the NBI handwriting experts that the signature of Jose Pidal was really his. He also made the " I invoke my right to privacy" statement very famous at that time. How about the real estate properties owned by the First Family in the U.S.? Again, Iggy Arroyo said he owned them. And the 2 used choppers sold by Big Bro Mike to the Philippine National Police which were not only over-priced but also 2nd hand yet it was passed on as brand new units and then used by the First Family for personal use? Yup, Little Bro Iggy said he was the one who sold it to the Police.
Yes folks, Iggy Arroyo was always used by the Arroyo family as an escape goat every time they got into trouble. Whenever there's a controversy or anomaly hurled at the First Gentleman, the First Family or Gloria Arroyo, Iggy always arrives like a knight in shining armor to save them from harm. Some say Iggy's just a pawn of Big Bro Mike, some say he's just the Dumb Little Brother of Big Mike. I really don't know because I haven't met Iggy personally. Maybe he was forced and coerced by his family to own up to all those controversies. Maybe he volunteered to save his family from embarrassment. I'm not sure what the real story is.
I guess the public will never know what Rep. Iggy Arroyo really wanted to do or want to be. May God forgive him for what he had or had not done in his life. May Rep. Iggy Arroyo, finally, Rest in Peace......
