The congresswoman of the second district of Pampanga turned 69 on April 5.<br /><br />During the gathering of Friends of Rody Duterte in San Fernando, Pampanga on February 5, Duterte disclosed his plans of releasing Arroyo from detention should he assume presidency.<br /><br />“If I am elected President, I will release her. Why? Because the evidence [against her] is weak. I know that. I am a lawyer,” Duterte said at the gathering.<br /><br />He added that like ordinary citizens, Arroyo is entitled to a speedy trial.<br /><br />The presidential aspirant previously served as Arroyo’s consultant on public order during her administration.<br /><br />While several netizens questioned Duterte’s current connection with the former president, others pointed out Arroyo wasn’t wearing her neck brace which she had been wearing since 2011.<br /><br />In 2012, the same issue haunted Arroyo who quickly defended herself.<br /><br />"(My) doctor reminded me not to wear my neck brace all the time to prevent atrophy. But my neck hurts after a while," Arroyo explained on Twitter.<br /><br />As of this writing, Panelo has not made a comment on the controversial photos.<br /><br /><b>--Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
