MANILA, Philippines – Overseas Filipino Workers Club party-list Rep.Roy Señeres died of cardiac arrest on Monday morning three days after he withdrew his presidential bid.

Señeres’s younger brother, Ike, confirmed the lawmaker's death, according to a report from the STAR.

His family has yet to issue a statement about the sudden death.

On Friday, Señeres quit the presidential race a few hours after the Commission on Elections released the final list of presidential candidates. His camp said the decision was agreed on with his family due to the solon's health condition. His representatives said, meanwhile, that he withdrew due to diabetes.

Señeres served as a United Arab Emirates ambassador.
