- House Speaker Gloria Arroyo removed her neck brace at the Freeport of Bataan.
- Netizens had mixed reactions when they saw the former President without her neck brace.
Former President and now House Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo revealed before that she did not need to wear her neck brace 24/7. Even though she doesn’t wear it as often now, she admitted that she still suffers from pain in her back due to the condition of her spine.
She continues to undergo medication and as well as therapy for her condition.
But apparently, not everyone knew that. Netizens were surprised when she removed the brace quite dramatically at the Freeport of Bataan.

Some tweeted their annoyance upon the scenario and compared it to someone taking off their necklace.
Parang kwintas lang tinanggal???!!! Parang wala lang puta may gum pa ata?????
Others started comparing to runway transformations in fashion shows.
Corrupt but make it fashion
Violet Chachki is shaking
There were those who started slamming her, implying that her neck condition is fake and what she did was offensive.
Parang baliktad. Dapat sinuot nia pag baba nia kung tlgang magdrama sia. Nabasa q ung isang comment 4 hours biyahe nia my neck condition dw sia. Na aware aq don s comment na un.
As someone who is living with cervical spondylosis, her neck brace stunt is highly offensive to me. My PT actually recommends against it as movement alleviates the symptoms. Drama lang talaga.
Twitter users continued to poke fun at the way Arroyo removed the neck brace.
What a disappointing Ruveal by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. I was half-expecting rose petals when she removed her neck brace.
Gloria is taking her neck brace off and I’m like gurl I don’t see no flower, I don’t see no glitter and I don’t see gag. You ain’t sasha velour bitch, keep your neck brace on.
WHERE CAN I GET THIS CHOKER?
