Batasang Pambansa Assemblywoman
Reyes won a seat in the Batasang Pambansa in 1984 under the ruling Kilusang Bagong Lipunan of President Ferdinand Marcos. Reyes was a close ally of the Marcos regime. Her husband, Edmundo M. Reyes, was appointed by President Marcos as the Commissioner on Immigration. Reyes served as an Assemblywoman until the 1986 People Power Revolution, which drove Marcos out of power.
