On 2003, he was accused by Senator Panfilo Lacson of money laundering to a secret bank account under the fictitious name of Jose Pidal, which was later on claimed by his brother Ignacio Arroyo, Jr.

He traces his roots from Ignacio Arroyo and Doña Maria Pidal, who had 3 children namely: candidate for sainthood, Maria Beatriz Del Rosario Arroyo, Jose Maria Arroyo and Mariano Arroyo. Jose became a senator in 1919 while Mariano was governor of Iloilo in 1928. Senator Jose Ma.

The two are the parents of Jose Miguel "Mike" Arroyo, as well as Ignacio Arroyo, Jr..[1]

His family hails from the province of Iloilo, with ancestry from Fujian province,[2][3] his brother Ignacio "Iggy" Arroyo, Jr. serves as the Representative of the Fifth district of Negros Occidental for the Philippine Congress His major project as spouse of the President was the funding of the training of Philippine athletes for the 2005 Southeast Asian Games held in the Philippines. An attorney by profession, he became the main target of attacks both against his wife's administration and his own involvement in a multiplicity of alleged scandals by the political opposition that once led to his voluntary exile.

His only daughter Evangelina Lourdes 'Luli' Arroyo, 37, married J. Aloysius 'Luigi' Bernas at 5 pm on November 5, 2008, in Tagaytay Highlands. Bernas is a former investment banker and ex-director of Ayala Foundation. The wedding was a private affair, and only ten people were invited.[4]
