The move to replace former president and now Pampanga 2nd District Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as a senior deputy speaker was up to the decision of the House of Representatives. | GabrielLaluINQ
Majority Floor Leader and Zamboanga 2nd District Rep. Manuel Jose Dalipe said the move was meant to ease the lawmaker of her many responsibilities.
“The House of Representatives has elected Deputy Speaker Aurelio ‘Don’ Gonzales, Jr. as Senior Deputy Speaker to unburden his cabalen, former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, of the heavy load required from the position,” Dalipe said. A former House speaker during the 17th Congress, Arroyo has been a key fixture in several of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s foreign trips where incumbent House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez was present.
There have been many criticisms as to why Romualdez and Arroyo were present in Marcos’ overseas trips, but the Chief Executive has heaped praises on the former president for guiding them — calling her once as the delegation’s secret weapon.
