                    [Title] => ‘Jose Pidal’ looks headed to Congress
                    [Summary] => BACOLOD CITY — For several years, people in the fifth district of Negros Occidental had seldom seen presidential brother-in-law Ignacio "Iggy" Arroyo in their communities. 


Things changed in mid-2003 when he began appearing in town fiestas and political gatherings, dropping hints of his plan to seek the fifth district’s congressional seat.

Arroyo gained national prominence when he claimed to be "Jose Pidal" who owned huge bank accounts which Sen. Panfilo Lacson insisted was his brother’s, First Gentleman Mike Arroyo.
