MANILA, Philippines -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's political adviser on Friday expressed shock at reports that Ms Arroyo had a breast implantreplacement at the Asian Hospital in Muntinlupa City.
"What? Silicon implants? That's the first time I heard about that," Secretary Gabriel Claudio said in a phone interview.
"No way; I just heard that from you. I thought you were joking."
Claudio said that he had "absolutely no information" about Ms Arroyo's breast implant replacement, adding he was not even aware that she hadan implant in the first place.
"I'd be curious to find out where that information came from," he said by phone.
Two other broadsheets reported that Ms Arroyo checked in at the Asian Hospital in Alabang, Muntinlupa early this week for a repair of leaking breastimplants done in the 1980s.
Ms Arroyo checked in at the hospital on Tuesday night for a self-imposed quarantine, a day after she arrived from a 13-day swing through Japan, Brazil,Colombia and Hong Kong.
She checked out Thursday afternoon with a "clean bill of health," officials said.
Claudio believed that Ms Arroyo merely underwent quarantine at the hospital as part of the protocol against the Influenza A (H1N1) virus.
"I have no reason to believe that she underwent any other treatment," he said.
