Early life and media career
Torres was born on December 11, 1974, in Ormoc, Leyte, Philippines, to Manuel "Manoling" Torres, Jr. and Julie Martínez. Her family owned several hectares of land in the province.

Political career
Torres was elected representative of the 4th District of Leyte in 2010. She substituted for her husband, Richard Gomez, who was disqualified by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) because of his failure to sufficiently establish residency in Ormoc City.
In June 2012, she sponsored an amendment to the Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2009. The proposed amendment revises the provisions rendering a time for breastfeeding babies during work hours.
On March 19, 2013, the Supreme Court ousted her, ruling that she "did not validly substitute" her husband. However, her ouster did not affect her re-election bid and she regained her seat in the elections that May.
In the May 9, 2016 national elections Torres won her re-election bid, defeating Violeta Codilla of the Aksyon Demokratiko party.
