PRESIDENT Arroyo yesterday skipped the Team
Unity "miting de avance" in Iloilo City last night after
suffering from diarrhea and slight dehydration.
She skipped the TU rally in Cebu last
Wednesday.
Cerge Remonde, head of the Presidential
Management Staff, said Arroyo was exposed to extreme heat in
Bohol when she inaugurated the Jagna Port and Jagna
Circumferential Road.
He said Arroyo was no longer feeling well
when they arrived in Cebu from Bohol.
Members of the Presidential Security Group
medical team attended to Arroyo who stayed overnight at the
Malacañang sa Sugbu in Cebu. She was given oral hydration
fluids and medicines.
A Palace source said the President was also
given intravenous fluid. Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña told TU
supporters gathered at Fuente Osmeña gym that the President
was "not feeling well" and would not be able to attend the
event.
Remonde said the President might attend the miting de
avance of TU in Makati tonight and in Marikina on Saturday
night.
