East Asia 2007 - Gloria Arroyo

[TheGovgwengarcia]

before... "HELLO GARCI"

now... "HELLO ANGIE"

soon... "HELLO MERCIDITAS"

[roniepao]

GMA is the best president. Noynoy is a loser. Cant even solve his love life...haha

[TheGerryjoy]

the Pro Arroyo crowd either benefited from a pot of gold that made their wallets buldge or simply didn't have other choice but to vote for a class d actress.

[TheGerryjoy]

Gloria turned a blind eye to the things she didn't want to see and a deaf hear to the things she didn't want to hear.

[spideken]

PGMA is a genius i luv u President Arroyo

[762459]

Change the constitution! Make GMA the Prime Minister!

[xtianjoeyumm]

I love you PGMA! really great!

[markosundin]

As an investment analyst here abroad we rely on indicators such as GNP, GDP, budget surplus etc. Her records are not that bad comparing to 1st world countries. ABS-CBN said they posted billions earnings this year, ergo the economy was good despite they consistently feed us here that she was the worst. Her travels abroad is to invite investors to provide jobs there. The next president should maintain her good GNP growth record if he wants more investments, more jobs there.

[ragan2nik]

thanks for reinstating spanish language in the philippines... gracias

[antiarroyo]

it's hard to comprehend a woman attending international forum and pretending to represent the Filipino nation while her family(including herself) is raiding the philippine treasury clean. as if majority of the Filipino people voted for her. this woman has no shame at all and can lie with straight facepoor Filipinos, when are going to wake up.

[haloflight]

This is it!

This is the skill that:

Noynoy, Erap, Chiz, Mar, Loren, Vilar, Guingona, Satur, Maza, Hontiveros, and the reeeeeeeeeeeest of alllllllllllll the OPPOSITION'S does'nt have.

"The Intelligence Everywhere Skill". of Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Sorry nlng kayo,,, bwahahaha.

[09279035505]

arroyo is an intelligent woman! you cant beat her by saying bad things hehe!!! thats why no one here in the phil. are able to removed her from the presidency!

[antiarroyo]

@09279035505 oh, yes. she is gifted in lying, and stealing . what more can you ask for? You have an intelligent president according to yourself.

[Labedee80]

wow. talagang pambato. She's really an intelligent person.

[clawofraven12]

We must hear both sides, not just cons. She had been opposition back then haha.

[Skyethur]

I adore her, a very strong woman.

[gregsmusic1]

president gloria is a big joke. i been to the philippines,she does not care about the filipino,she only care for herself,you ever notice when someone rise up against her,they either go to jail or disappear

[smoothasia35]

for me President Gloria Arroyo is the BEST President of The Philippines since marcos era,she make good manuevering to our economy ,nowadays we post a positive growth while other country restruct their economy because the world hit by economic crisis,that's why filipinos love her,look opposition do all their might to destroy her good gov't but they always failed because filipino people don't listen to them.more power pres. Gloria ARROYO i hope the next pres. is like you.

[rincess20]

ohw..hellow there gloring!

the president evil!

^,...,^!!!

[florbrad]

HELLO GARCI

[GulfLanderNoside]

to all commenters of negative thoughts,

think first before you write, maybe you are the once whose destroying your own country.. :)

[Santouryu111]

This Person and her whole family is the shame of the Philippines, they are the country's tumor that needs to be dealt with immediately..., she a uses her position to oppress people indirectly by stealing to public funds, cheating in the elections and associating herself to affairs that are not important, if she and her family will not be punished in this life because of what they're doing now to this poor country, many leaders will be like her, and that will not be good to our peaceful world.

[arroyo3rd]

As before ASEAN countries are trying to be one... BUT I think if its will and law will only be strengthen and imposed properly, things will be better... ONE ASIA; ONE CARING COMMUNITY...

Very well done speech Madam President

[antiarroyo]

@arroyo3rd you should be ashamed of yourself supporting a wicked proposal from the most corrupt president in Asia if not the whole world. ano, pati ibang ASEAN members nanakawin din niya nag pera? ""ONE ASIA, ONE CARING COMMUNITY"come on, get real! you must be directly benefitting from this evil regime to say things like this.

[OneOrientalAsia]

Please, everyone. All ASEAN +3 leaders need to say no to +6, composing of also india, australia, and new zealand. India is fine since they're truly oriental asians. But i say no to australia and NZ, because they will only bring in westernize-european values,bring white supremacy(im not racist, but we true asians need our own), they will destroy ASEAN culture and politics,& finally they're purely caucasian. Australia has always been more interested in the west.

Go for ASEAN +4, & NOT +6

[eweng13]

bravo!!!

[masamok2]

yes Pres.arroyo is one of the best......corrupt president...and thats history proved it many many times.

[buboyski2]

really?moron!!!!!

[buletsandz]

President Arroyo is still one of the BEST PRESIDENT and HISTORY PROVES THAT.

To all the critics let me tell you this:

wala kang karapatan magsalita kung wala ka namang mabuting naiambag sa bayan o kahit konting napatunayan kahit man lang sayong sarili, kung ang sarili mo ay di mo kayang disiplinahin, wag mong pangaraping disiplinahin ang isang pangulo ng bansa dahil hindi lamang sarili nito ang hawak nya kundi ang lahat ng kanyang nasasakupan..

[eruditemanila]

The Philippines gov't. has had very considerable economic gains but the Filipinos must take advantage of the investment in education, infrastracture(physical and social), corruption exists in any government, how would you look up for a society that has had been mired by decades of stagflation, the Philippine economic gains recently is something notable for Arroyo's economic blueprint and planning. So, filipinos invest in education, learn to save and spend wisely.

[maxloonglovedaryl]

Our President is Intelligent and competent yet I believe that Presidents are like diapers, they need to be changed.

[markrrsantos1]

you only approve positive comments!!! this is so UNFAIR!!! just like her... the MONSTER...

[jomaoista]

she have a well round oratorical prowess, i think her administration is well above the average! disregard the controversy and her husband! thanks,

[kAhZ06]

PGMA IS A GOOD ECONOMIST.

[deathcore66666]

if PGMA retains to her position???

i think, its better to suicide !!! than died to poverty ...

[MIG578]

@deathcore66666

Yes, you should =) Your "grammar" tells you to =)

[JohnNikshMarcelo98]

I HAVE ONLY FAITH IN MY SELF AND GOD, MY PARENTS, THE PRESIDENT, THE GOVERNMENT.

PHILIPPINES SHOULD RESPECT WHO EVER IS IN THE SEAT LIKE THAI PEOPLE DO. Philippines is in the NEXT 11 COUNTRIES of the world as well as CHINA and INDIA.

[airwinplastic]

Local corruption monitors confirm that graft and bribery in the Philippines remain rampant. Corruption has penetrated every level of government, from the Bureau of Customs down to the traffic police officers who pull over motorists to demand bribes.

[SleepingTiger2]

I must say that we have to support our government in fighting the global economic turmoil at the moment because if we still push through with ousting the head of the state we are all facing chaotic future. Atleast I am thankful that we are governed by an econimist who knows more than anyone else on how to resolve this problem. Sana po maunawaan nyo. wag daanin sa init ng ulo. Salamat.

[amihan1970]

the most cruel president that Philippine ever had.

[buboyski2]

MABUHAY!!!!!!!PGMA!!!!the best pres

[JohnNikshMarcelo98]

YES!!! MABUHAY!

[markrrsantos1]

what???

[johncarlo0292]

I want Pres. Macapagal-Arroyo to stay beyond 2010. She's the best president the Philippines ever has.

[CrushqcElyG]

I think gloria will leave office with at least a 5 percent approval rating. Many people think Gloria is like Yeltsin

[tyanakpandak]

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.' GLORIA ARROYO

[JohnNikshMarcelo98]

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.' ESTRADA

D ba???

[phaithoune]

Bravo! Great speech.

[Nudibrank]

Is there another alternative to GMA then?

[daucus2003]

Great question!!! We,Filipinos didn't even think about the future outcome(s). People Power?Impeachment? Who are we going to replace her afterwards? Noli de Castro?! lol!!! I don't know the exact term applicable to filipino masses..

[terminallyill22]

in the country of scattered island where tourism business is very hard due to transportation;a country with a to z + 1 to 10 typhoons every year that dumped our agriculture; a country whose people didnot even like a single leader; well, maybe we should dissolve.what do you think, montam26.?/?

[montam26]

You people who say that GMA has done good to the country dont go out of your doors do you?

Do you see the many numbers of people wasting theit lives away for a cause that the government is not recognizing?How many corruption scandals do the country need to have people realize that GMA has said alot but not done many.The country is alive not because the government has done something for the people but because there are over a million Pinoys abroad who keep the GNP afloat

[terminallyill22]

jobs being layed off in the middle east what may be your nationality.salaries of higher payed workers were being cut and india may have at least 10 million jobless citizens if economy worsen. arroyo administration are working hard to protect the economy of the philippines. singapore, taiwan and s. korea are all in recession.they may cut jobs. arroyo and banco central protected the economy of the philippines

[bluebirdkid2000]

we shuold thank pgma somehow because of PGMA tough choices were made, the global crisis did not catch us helpless and unprepared. Through foresight, grit and political will, she has built a shield around our country that has slowed down and somewhat softened the worst effects of the global crisis. We have the money to care for our people and pay for food when there are shortages, for fuel despite price spikes

[bluebirdkid2000]

we still have to that PGMA SOMEHOW because of PGMA tough choices were made, the global crisis did not catch us helpless and unprepared. Through foresight, grit and political will, she has built a shield around our country that has slowed down and somewhat softened the worst effects of the global crisis. We have the money to care for our people and pay for food when there are shortages, for fuel despite price spikes

[montam26]

GMA has made the corruption in the Philippines worse than it already is. Bloomberg recently reports that an estimated $13million is lost through graft and corruption. People are working with blood, sweat and tears in GMA's country but little or no help is reaching. The rich is getting richer while the poor is getting poorer. Where is your heart people in politics?

Whats going to happen to our little Juan Dela Cruz?

[amihan1970]

Americans wether democrat or republican, you should be proud with urselves, you got ur president thru honest, clean, decent election!!! congrats!!...not like the Philippines, who's the current president is a cheater and power grabber!!

[amihan1970]

GMA set free a convicted killer because his brother was her ally, while she let an OFW be executed in Saudi who just defended himself against a rapist. That's how she cares for the OFWs who work hard and sent dollar to the Phils.

[bluebird01kid]

Two-thirds of the globe is now in recession, but not the Philippines, which is growing 4.6 percent after growing 7.2 percent last year. The Bank of New York Mellon says, The Philippines is inherently strong, a potential beneficiary of the financial woes. JP Morgan says, The Philippines is in a relatively strong position to weather the global downturn with the economy driven by private consumption and services, which are less vulnerable to external shocks

[ceburockhead]

i agree..im positive that the philippines will weather the recession since almost 10 million filipinos are working in diffrent countries around the world remitting billion of dollars back home

[amihan1970]

Even Arroyo followers didn't know what she is doing, when there's an expose corruption in Arroyo admin, they blame Erap, that was stupid!

[bluebirdkid2000]

amihan1970

you're the one who is stupid because we should blame erap kasi po nag reflect lang ky gloria kasi result po un ng paG nanakaw ni erap that's why she implementdeD the e-vat prra maka ipon uli ng fund sa government kasi naubus tlaga NI ERAP AT IBA PANG NAGING PRESIDENTE ANG KABAN NG BAyan

[bluebirdkid2000]

the problems of gloria admin is only the result of eraps leadership kasi po naubos ni erap halos lahat ng prera ng pinas ky nga po uli nag iipon c gloria n\kya ng my e-vat ehh

[drifterZ00]

e-vat? you mean, that stupid excuse for corruption?

[amihan1970]

Even the pro Gloria didn't know what she is doing, they just know when there is an expose' in Gloria's admin, they blame Erap, that is stupid!

[amihan1970]

I think even the pro Arroyo didn't know what she's doing, they always turn to Erap everytime a corruption was exposed on Arroyo goverment. That's stupid.

[crushkosiElyG]

Critics of Gloria don't understand what she is doing. If Erap is the president during the time of things becoming more expensive then our country would in a worse situation now.

[amihan1970]

Gloria Arroyo triggered another war in Mindanao just to extend her term in presidency.

[amihan1970]

hello garci, sure ba na 1 million ang lamang ko ha...

[amihan1970]

Gloria Arroyo is the worst president in the history of Philippine governance

[amihan1970]

Phillipine was in deep hardship due to extreme corruption in Arrovo admin.

[amihan1970]

According to Forbes, no. 41 si GMA sa most powerful woman, dahil daw sa kabila ng katiwalian at pagkadawit ng asawa nyang exploiter, nasa kapangyarihan pa rin sya.

Pati dayuhan di makapaniwala sa ngyayari sa Pilipinas.

[ironman232000]

wow madame

[lprama87]

she's a good leader... however i don't think an extension of term would help us... there was a great progress made in our economy during her term but personal political agendas (survival) made her ineffective or shall I say it keeps our progress to minimal... 10 years is enough, let's try othe leaders... we already have a lot of alternatives....

[G13ZTMTV]

Well, as we all knows presidents in the philippines our smart nd intelligent that may cause our country more develope nd be progress but we must be carefull in chosing the right president that will lead our country today or in the near future....

[kagarahace]

what a shame.... hello garci....

[bugseyfruitcakes]

Love her really !

[ironman232000]

I LOVE GLORIA

[JerikoAko]

I think Gloria is the start of again the New Begginning for the Philippines, as we lost our position as the 2nd Top Economic Asian Country next to Japan back in 1970's before Ferdinand Marcos took the hope of the country away. Now we should support our upcoming Presidents for the countries benefits and overthrow any unrighteous representative of the country" we should work our way back to the top and make the Philippines once again strong!

[matsor79]

wow!

[dailydenise]

I´m proud that we have a female president. I really hope for a better Philippines.

We owe America billions of dollars. We´ll be a poor country untill some miracle happens. But we never know.

[ejr669]

didn't you hear, we paid off many of our debts. our debt to asset ratio is in balance right now. where have you been.

[pythias08]

she's doing a great job. mabuhay ka PGMA!

[tzaddi25]

Mabuhay ka GMA!

Don't you mind those opposition people who envy you. Our country is moving progressively now.

I hope you stay beyond 2010!

[joaquinne55]

Tama na Sobra na! sana huwag magpagamit ang mga "MILITARY" at takutin ang mga taong gusto ng pagbabago. Bayan, ipakita natin na mas marami tayong gusto ng pagbabago saan man tayo naka-grupo. salamat po. -KKK-

[BitterSweetUpriser]

The Filipinos are not so stupid anymore. Take the Manila Pen Siege. Trillanes' call wasn't recieved. He made a fool out of himself. So be careful, you might be the next him...

[bluebirdkid2000]

yah you're absolutely right!! another example is jun lozada when visited pampanga the kamapmagans welcomed with steets protest against him

[demonrave]

she is not my Pres. the best ever President is Jun Magsaysay... she is the rust of president history... not all Filipinos in Japan loves her sorry... our community in Ibaraki-ken is hantai...

[kawaiijcd]

Sen.Jun Magsaysay is the SON of the late Pres.Ramon Magsaysay unless I remembered otherwise.

[127jay]

Filipinos in japan loves you! Gloria

[louisee12]

how do you define better economy in the Philippines these days, compared to, say 10 years ago, or 20 years ago? just a question.

[BitterSweetUpriser]

GDP? PPP? There are many.

[horizon1115]

Pres. Gloria Arroyo is one of our best president its because although she knew that her image as a our president is going down she still did not let her self be interfered by those who criticize her. If we'll try to analyze she is a little bit alike to our past Pres. Marcos for their aim to move the Philippines forward not like ex pres. Aquino which did nothing but changing names of places honored her husband....So to all Filipinos, lets support our President........Go Philippines!!

[betarugogasmati18]

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is the best President in the Philippines I ever did see! More and more investors are pouring their investments, Texas Instruments, Hanjin Ship Builders, and many others. Please continue your good economic programs! History will judge you not your critics especially those people from the camp of Cory who did nothing good in the Philippines except hatred to the Marcoses...

[mikomiko321]

Gloria! Mabuhay!

[aztigmatizmo]

Go Gloria Macapagal Arroyo!!!...

I beLieve in you...

[ArchiLinux]

I don't like arroyo, hated her even. But she's already there and doing some great work so no point in bringing her down.

[godtheme]

seed education in the whole world...

mabuhay philippines and the whole world!!!

[gearzone2611]

Seed education around the world is erasing the national boundary. So you rather have this World Bank your central bank not regulated by your own congress but of leaders from another country because it sounds world peace? What about the sovereign power?

[joffreee]

i believe in her.

[GeraldineRoman]

The Philippines is lucky to have a president who is qualified to solve the country's main problem which is its economy...

[badlongon]

she's really a tough woman. this woman believes that the philippines can make it. she has faith in the filipino and she wants all of us think that way.

i admire her intelligence, courage and patriotism.

i salute our president.

mabuhay ang pilipinas!

[HondaGirl22]

Proud to be Pinoy, no more crab mentality ok! Lusong Sugod Lipad!

[delicacy88]

this is a great president,bkit kelan b nkontento ang tao?rally ng rally..ampota d nlng mgtrbaho,dti ayko sknya,but i can see improvements..she made another history and eventually after her term people will realize how much she did for our country,i just hope next to her would be in the same pace i just appluad her

[jenznurkey]

"d nalang magtrabaho?" alam mo ba ang hirap na dinadanas ng mga filipino kahit magkatrangkaso na sila sa trabaho di pa rin sapat ang pera sa kanila pang-araw araw so pano nila mapag-aaral ang kanilang mga anak?!

swerte na tayo at nakakaginhawa tayo kaya di mo masasabi ang ganyang bagay sa mga illiterate dahil no choice sila mababa pa rin ang kanilang sahod.

Uu umaangat ang ekonomiya,pero?! binibigyang daan ni pangulo na mas yumaman ang mga mayayaman at maghirap lalo ang mahihirap =/

kawawa!

[BitterSweetUpriser]

That is the effect of Capitalism. Didn't listen to what she said in the video?

It's one initiative to be rich, I've heard of stories of poor people becoming rich. Look at Senator Manny Villar.

[matthewandrew]

she's a great president.

so proud.

she's laying the foundation for a better Philippines!

[rjamesp]

THE BEST PRESIDENT!

she's very industrious...

she's very intelligent...

she's a great economist...

she's an excellent political leader...

Mabuhay, Gloria! keep up the good work!

(destabilizers and critics, get lost losers! u can never take her down. ;p)

Rise Up High, Philippines!

PGMA is the best!

[gabbyandres]

I agree with you..I believe too, that she's our best president ever..And I would want to see her beyond 2010 leading the country to progres:)

Mabuhay!

[Got2BeDowne69]

she's better than marcos, estrada, ramos. she's the best president that we have right now! the economy is getting stronger under her administration! well done, madame! she's the shortest president in the world too! mabuhay!

[awi1989]

Hi PGMA! Nnnwala po ako na aahon din tau sa hirap! Sana po bumaba ang presyo ng ating produkto. Ng dahil sa ating mga OFWs ay tumaas ang ating peso. Dinggin mo naman kaming mga mahihirap...

[PUXXZZ]

ur da best gma......keep up the good work

[HondaGirl22]

Peso is gaining weight nowadays. Hakbang na pinoy iwan na ang tamad na buhay.

[leradgreat]

under her leadership...the economy is getting better these days...^^

[dragonaren]

GMA is the best president in the phillipines...

[edpannewyork]

She's the greatest president Philippines ever had!..

[lollmaoenjoy]

shes smarter than Bush!

[VinnyLuvYosi]

but its not hard 2 be smarter than bush. lol

[sheysullinger]

you can never go wrong when the philipine president speaks... filipino be proud!
