Arroyo was the country’s first female House Speaker and led the lower chamber from 2018 to 2019. She became Speaker after 161 House members signed a manifesto ousting Pantaleon Alvarez from the post.

She has so far served three terms as congresswoman of Pampanga’s second district, from 2010-2013, 2013-2016 and from 2016-2019 under the administrations of late president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and President Rodrigo Duterte.
