The start of the 2018 State of the Nation Address of President Rodrigo Duterte on July 23, 2018, was delayed by almost half an hour[7] after the House of Representatives informally convened to install Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as House Speaker, with 161 members voting for her appointment. Alvarez disputed the appointment and his allies blocked the declaration of the position as vacant.[8] The House convened in a formal session in the evening after the presidential speech to conduct another vote. 243 members were recorded to be present with 199 representatives participating; 184 voting in favor of Arroyo's appointment, three casting a "no" vote, and 12 officially abstaining from the vote. The session which included Arroyo's formal election was recorded in House Resolution No. 2025.[9]
