Arroyo's daughter Dina has confirmed to Ibanez that Arroyo's body will be brought in the province after two days that it will also be laid in Congress.

He said the security plans are now being drawn as residents in the fifth district are expected to pay their last respect to their lawmaker.

Arroyo's body will be laid in a church in Barangay Payao, Binalbagan, the hometown of Arroyo, Ibanez said.

After two days, Arroyo's body will be brought back to Manila and is set to be buried in a family's mausoleum in Quezon City.
