She isn't that bad, considering it is a crisis period in many ways in Philipines. She just has to get a tight grip, and support from her own people!

the biggest problem of the philippines today is our lack of identity, our lack of knowledge about who we are and what we stand for as a people.  Without a clear stand on who we are as a nation, we would not have any clue on how to work together much less what we should work together on.  We havent the faintest idea about the goals we should have for our nation.  We are so busy just trying to survive with just the bare essentials. We are so caught up with how we can provide for our own families, just that. No clear national goals that the people truly embraces.  Kanya-kanya is the order of the day, especially in government! Its too overwhelming just thinking about this. We need a great leader who is capable of directing all our attention and energies on putting our act together. Really working together and sacrificing personal gains first.  That's another big problem, the absence of a truly capable honest to goodness ethical leader, and still another problem... a followership that would rally behind this great leader.  If we shall ever have both, that would certainly be the day for our beloved country, the Philippines!

Jags said it. I will just put some details.\n\nRoh Moo-Hyun (노무현), born September 1, 1946, has been the President of South Korea since February 25, 2003. On March 12, 2004 he was impeached by the National Assembly, and Prime Minister Goh Kun replaced him as acting president. The impeachment was overturned by the country's Constitutional Court on May 14, 2004 and Roh's powers were immediately restored. Before entering politics, Roh was a noted human rights lawyer. With First Lady Kwon Yangsook (권양숙), Roh has a daughter (Roh Jeongyeon, 노정연, born 1975), an embassy worker; and a son (Roh Geonho, 노건호, born 1973), an electronics conglomerate employee.

I'm pretty sure it's Douglas MacArthur. He was born on January 26, 1880 in Little Rock Barracks, Arkansas. He died on April 5, 1964. He's best known as the American general who said "I shall return."\n\nHe was one of the most popular and accomplished U.S. military leaders of the 20th century, known primarily for commanding Allied forces in the southwest Pacific during World War II. MacArthur graduated first in his class from West Point Academy (1903) and a few months later was sent to the Philippines, where he worked as an aide to his father, General Arthur MacArthur, Jr. After an illustrious career in World War I, Douglas served in the Philippines as major general (1922-25), commanded the Department of the Philippines (1928-30) and served in the U.S. as chief of staff of the Army (1930-35). In 1935 he was again sent to the Philippines to organize defenses in preparation for their independence. In 1937 he retired from the Army rather than leave his Philippine project uncompleted, but he was recalled to active duty when it became clear that war with Japan was imminent (1941). Overrun by Japanese forces at Bataan, MacArthur was ordered by President Franklin Roosevelt to withdraw to Australia. Before MacArthur and his family escaped, he made the famous vow, "I shall return." In 1942 he was made the supreme commander of Allied forces in the southwest Pacific and by 1945 had liberated the Philippines on the way to invading Japan. MacArthur accepted the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945, then led the occupation forces in the reconstruction of Japan. After North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, MacArthur was put in charge of United Nations forces and successfully drove the invaders back. His enthusiasm for pushing on and attacking areas of China was not shared by President Harry Truman, who relieved MacArthur of his command in 1951. Still considered a national hero, MacArthur gave a famous address to Congress and retired. Flamboyant and confident, MacArthur has been called arrogant and egotistical, but his amphibious campaigns in World War II and in Korea are considered brilliant examples of military strategy.\n\nMacArthur is often cited as the source of the quote: "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." He said it in his speech before Congress, but prefaced the quote by saying that it was from one of the popular "barrack ballads" he had heard as a cadet at West Point.

I agree to military but you should consider the Filipinos very religious, just look what happend during edsa 1. I say change the government to parliament but no, the other Filipinos are to disagree, the masa like the popular people to be picked leader ex.actors(no offense, thats reality) .factors that lead to the downfall of the people is their poor education, lack of money, corrupt/uneducated(did not finish collage) officials and their laziness. this people live thier lives, they don't work hard and still they have this complains that they are poor and that wow some people have time to enjoy thier wealth. I hate the masses that complain and do nothing and that is their very poor culture.

If they are a movie star, from a political dynasty, or corrupt they do not need to be qualified to be the President of the Philippines.  The people will elect them regardless if they are qualified or not.  They presently have the most qualified person in the country as President and they want to throw her out.  The government is doing better than it has in years under her leadership and it seems some of the people would prefer to destroy all that has been accomplished in order to let the Opposition Party which does not have a plan or a qualified leader take over.  The Philippines is not a Third World Country because it is lacking in natural resources.  It is a Third World Country because it lacks stability in the government.  The lack of stability is created by the people through their street protest. It matters not if they have a President or Prime Minister, qualified or unqualified leader,  nothing will change in the Philippines until the people come to understand laws are to be obeyed regardless if you like them or not.

Looks like the unit commander of the elite Rangers was planning a coup of President Arroyo.  According to news report here in the USA, the rumors have been spreading of a coup for the last few weeks.  Arroyo has declared a state of emergency to lockdown all the military forces in the barracks.  It gives me flashback of Marcos declaring martial law before he was overthrown by the people.

Well, I'm pretty pleased with the job our honorable president is doing.  He has faced such opposition, when the man has only  been trying to do what is right.  I wish him much success.  That is not an easy task- being president of the most powerful nation on the planet.  He has been such a rock.  So steady and unfaltering in his principles.  I don't agree with EVERY decision he makes, but most I do.  I appreciate his ability to not revile and hate back at those that hate him.  That is his most admirable characteristic, in my judgment.  I also appreciate his efforts to protect me and fellow Americans in this very dangerous world.  God Bless the man, George W. Bush!

I would be inclined to say that he is a fantastic leader.  He is far from being the best (Reagan) but he is one of my favorite presidents.

Lee Kwan Yew took control of Singapore when the Brits relinquished it.  He first agreed for it to be part of the contemporaneously independent Malaya, under - what was that bloke's name, a Chinese Muslim ?  But later, when Mahathir Mohammed took over Malaya, fell out with him (not surprisingly - Mahathir was an intransigent power-lover) and set up the little island as a separate state.  From then on he guided it with great determination and a very wise and steady hand to it's present prosperous and very well ordered condition.  He didn't have to be quite as ruthless as Mahathir in suppressing opposition, but he was firm and quite a few opponents spent many many years in Changi prison.  His message was : "no corruption" and the result made every law-abiding, hard-working Singaporean, economically comfortable.  He devised a very successful capitalist socialism, long before China, and made all his people proud of their country, and rightly so. It was he who told that little Chinese Commie bloke - what was his name? - now revered in the PRC as the father of "opening up" to do it, when the little chap was visiting Singapore to get away from the horrors of the Cultural Revolution.   I lived in Singers for a year and used to like to read Lee's daily articles in the Straits Times : he was always spot on target.  I could go on for ages about this great man, but it's my bed-time.  Good night.
