"IN THE PHILIPPINES THE BEST BUSINESS IS POLITICS... RISK IS HIGH BUT PAYBACK IS GREAT..."\n\nPhilippines is great, Filipinos are good, The president SUCKS!

It should be someone who has uncompromisable morals and ethics.  Someone who believes in the word of GOD, and is a kind heart hearted person.  I think this should go both ways.

Andres Bonifacio was a great leader at battle, but he used fisical force when fighting, while Jose Rizal used his wit and intelligence to help get the indepence of the Philippines from the Spaniards. I suggest you read the "Noli me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo" so you can find out what moved the hearts of the Filipino people to get the independence.\n\ngood luck.

as a whole I see my country a very cultural place to be in because you discover many things from just visiting one place.Sadly our country has been divided by many groups who cannot settle on one idea to improve the country most politicians want their power just for their own self interest and not for the people. Theirs too much politics. Well at least I see a good a future under the PGMA's governance, our economy is appreciating. I see the Filipino citizens very LAZY and that one factor why the country is not improving, also another is the poor education.

I may not be Filipino in blood but having lived in the Philippines all my life, I love the country, but most especially I love the people. A teacher of mine once said that if the world was ruled by people who were aesthetically talented, the Philippines would be one of the most powerful countries in the world, and I think lots of people will agree.\n\nMabuhay, mga Pilipino! :D

I like a president that is responsive to the people that elected him/her, someone that has the betterment of the country at heart and not one that is into the politics of hate or what is good for himself or his rich Buddy's. I think value wise it is more important to lead by example the to lead by doctrine

Filipinos are known to be hospitable, resilient, respectful, patriarchal and God-fearing citizens.

You should have posted this question in category travel- Philippines. anyway, i am here and willing to give you an answer the best i could. .\n\nThe Philippines is a democratic and republican state. Sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them.\nCivilian authority is at all times supreme over the military.\nIt renounces war as a matter of national policy, adopts the generally accepted principles of internationall law as part of its laws. But the government may call upon all its people to defend the state. \nThe separation of church and state is inviolable. Filipinos are dominantly roman catholics. it values the dignity of every human person and guarantees full respect for human rights.it recognizes the sanctity of family life and protects and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution. \nit is for this reason that the philippines do not have divorce law. \nThere are three branches of government :  executive, legislative, and the judiciary.  \nIts political subdivisions include the provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays, each administered by elected officials. \nIt defines it citizenship, right of suffrage for all men and women starting 18 yrs old, and the  Bill of Rights.

She is a strong, independent, intelligent woman that would make an excellent president. She is not afraid to stand up for what is right for the people. She would have one of the best advisers in the world in her husband. The last legally elected president and also the most successful in the last 40 years.

I'll try to be responsive, rather than attack or defend any particular leader.\n\nOften, elected officials will feel obligated to remain in office through good times and through bad times.  Whether the majority of people in a country still "like" the leader is just considered one of the trials of office, since ups or downs happen.  I've linked an article of Arroyo's recent diplomacy talks, which suggest that Arroyo is still respected in the international community.  When she was criticized internationally for declaring a state of emergency, she lifted that proclamation.  She has responded to both national and international pressure, in some circumstances.\n\nResignation is usually reserved for only extreme instances of misconduct or criminal investigation.  Simply having people dislike the leader is considered common.  The Filipino community will have a chance to vote later and make a choice for a new leader.

Ferdinand Marcos is unbeatable in terms of being a President in the Philippines.  He ruled the Philippines longer than any other president.  During his time, he controlled the Judiciary and Legislature and practically became a dictator until a revolution forced him to go to the US.

Hello dear!\nWell, people and their societies are dynamic bodies, which means there is always strive for improvement, thus, there will always be crisis in every society, especially large states as the Philippines! Further, countries with lower income and pressed political rights are expected to try harder for changes, which increases political crises. Thus, I foresee that the Philippines will continue having the crises for a long time; what I wish is that Philippinos will enjoy more and have more rights achieving higher living standards.
