Mikey Arroyo

Juan Miguel Macapagal Arroyo, known as Mikey Arroyo (born on April 26, 1969 in Manila) is a Filipino actor and the representative of the party-list group Ang Galing Pinoy. He was the former congressman from second district of Pampanga from 2004 to 2010. He is the eldest son of the three children of former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo and former President of the Philippines and current congresswoman from second district of Pampanga Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Controversies

In August 2009, VERA Files, a group of veteran Filipino journalists, reported that Arroyo "has failed to declare in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Networth (SALN) for the last two years a $1.32 million or P63.7 million beachfront property in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, which he bought and then transferred to his wife Angela in 2006." The house is located in Beach Park Blvd in Foster City in San Mateo County. He defended himself by saying that the money he used in acquiring these properties came from cash gifts he received for his wedding as well as from campaign contributions.^[1]

Nearly two years later, the Bureau of Internal Revenue filed tax evasion charges against Arroyo and his wife Angela for not filing income tax returns for the years 2005, 2008 and 2009. BIR Chief Kim Jacinto-Henares mentioned that based on the documents her agency had obtained, the couple owes the government P73.85 million in unpaid taxes. Arroyo lawyer Ruy Rondain questioned the timing of the filing of these charges. ^[2]
