Juan Miguel "Mikey" Macapagal Arroyo (Tagalog pronunciation: [hwan mɪˈɡɛl ˈmaɪki makapaˈɡal ɐˈɾɔjɔ]; born April 26, 1969) is a Filipino politician and former actor who served as the Representative of Pampanga's 2nd district from 2019 to 2022 and previously from 2004 to 2010. He previously served as the vice governor of Pampanga from 2001 to 2004. Born into the Macapagal family of Pampanga, his mother, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, served as the 14th president of the Philippines, former Speaker of the House and Vice President. His father, Jose Miguel Arroyo, is a descendant of Philippine Revolutionary General, Aniceto Lacson of Negros Occidental. His maternal grandfather, Diosdado Macapagal, was the 9th president.

Arroyo dabbled in acting prior to becoming a politician, and while he was vice governor of Pampanga. Arroyo was linked to his leading ladies Rufa Mae Quinto and Maui Taylor, among others. His movie in the 2001 Metro Manila Film Festival, Di Kita Ma-Reach, bombed in the box office. Arroyo, as he was the presidential son, refrained from taking roles that show immorality. Arroyo's family stayed in the Malacañang Palace during the term of his mother.^[2]

As vice governor, Arroyo said he ran for House representative from Pampanga's 2nd district as the incumbent was term-limited, and as it was a family decision.^[2] Arroyo won in 2004, and in 2007, Yeng Guiao (who had succeeded him as vice governor) expected Arroyo to run unopposed.^[3] In 2010, Arroyo instead ran under the party-list system under Ang Galing Pinoy (AGP). The party was originally an anti-crime group, but was disqualified by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), leading them to reform as a party-list representing security guards and tricycle drivers. Arroyo was already helping the group, and financed their campaign. AGP won the party-list election, and secured a seat for Arroyo.^[4]

In the 2013 elections, the COMELEC disqualified AGP anew, having failed to represent marginalized sectors in Congress.^[5] Arroyo ran anew in 2019, this time representing Pampanga's 2nd district again, as the incumbent, her mother Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, was term-limited.^[6] Mikey won. Later on, on July 10, 2020, Arroyo was among the 70 representatives who voted "yes" to reject the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN, the Philippine's largest television network.^[7] Two months later, he proposed the suggestion to postpone the 2022 Philippine elections due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[8] He later confirmed that his mother would run in his stead in 2022.^[9]

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 Boulevard 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.^[10]

Nearly two years later, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) 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 ₱73.85 million in unpaid taxes. Arroyo lawyer Ruy Rondain questioned the timing of the filing of these charges.^[11] In 2018, the Court of Tax Appeals dismissed Arroyo's tax evasion case.^[12]

Arroyo married his second cousin, Angela Montenegro in 2002.^[13] In 2017, Arroyo was involved in a vehicular accident in Bacolor, where his driver was killed.^[14] In 2025, he underwent surgery after being diagnosed with stage 1 thyroid cancer.^[15]
