QUEZON CITY, Philippines, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and her husband spent the night in a hospital for what her chief of staff called a routine checkup.
The president is healthy but needs to trim down, her doctors said Sunday as the government moved to quash rumors the leader was suffering from a liver ailment, The Manila Times reported.
Arroyo weighs about 120 pounds and should weigh about 110 pounds for her height of 4 feet 11 inches, Dr. Juliet Gopez-Cervantes said.
The president at first planned to leave the hospital Sunday but stayed overnight to rest and to wait for test results of her husband, Jose Miguel "Mike" Arroyo, the Times said.
The president was admitted to the same hospital in June after complaining of abdominal pain.
