However, in a video posted by Radio-Television Malacanang (RTVM), Noynoy Aquino was seen to not have greeted Arroyo. Before Aquino took the presidency seat, Arroyo served as the president from the years 1998-2001.
During that afternoon, before Noynoy Aquino entered the room, former presidents Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Fidel V. Ramos were seen chatting and shaking hands with each other.
Upon arrival, he shook the hands of Ramos and Duterte but has ignored Arroyo and proceeded to go to his place for the photo call. Just a few steps behind him, past president Erap Estrada also greeted everyone before going to his respectful spot for the picture taking.

It seems that former president Aquino isn’t taking GMA’s acquittal very well. While Aquino was president, he took a few jabs on Arroyo during his speech on some of his Statement of the Nation Addresses. In his speeches, he blames the Arroyo’s administrations for the hardships that the country was facing during his time.
It was during Noynoy Aquino’s term where his administration arrested Arroyo and placed her under hospital arrest because of her spinal problems. She was under custody of Veterans Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City for about 5 years.
