President Duterte has named former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as the Presidential Adviser on Clark Programs and Projects, Senator Bong Go announced on Thursday.

Arroyo, who also served as the House Speaker for a year during the Duterte regime, is set to receive a compensation of P1 yearly.

Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), the group behind the Clark Freeport Zone, expressed their support for the news.

“We greatly welcome the appointment of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as Presidential Adviser on Clark Programs and Projects. Her wisdom and gravitas will be invaluable in making the vision of Clark as the next premier metropolis of Asia a reality,” BCDA stated.

Aside from leading the country for 10 years, Arroyo was also elected as the congresswoman of Pampanga’s second district for three terms.
