A slim Mrs. Arroyo landed on the front page today of the broadsheet Philippine Daily Inquirer, with an article about her saying she's "stress-free, fat-free."

The 63-year-old Arroyo made heads turn when she went to the wake of former Social Security System chair Thelmo Cunanan at the chapel of Heritage Memorial Park in Taguig City last Tuesday night.

According to the Inquirer, she stunned onlookers with her "svelte figure and glowing complexion."

Indeed, the accompanying photo showed off her alleged 25-inch waistline.

Now a Pampanga congresswoman, Arroyo revealed that "diet and lots of exercise" helped her shed off pounds. She exercises up to four times a week with her friend Cynthia Carreon, and has turned vegetarian too.

She added that her waistline was 31 inches at one point.

Last December, Arroyo also made heads turn when she showed up in Congress with a more flattering hairstyle.

House Minority Leader Edcel Lagman commented then that Arroyo looks more relaxed after "the burden of the highest office of the land is not anymore on her."
