Presidents don't get thrones, they work for the people who elected them like you and me. \n\nSure, a president can resign.  The president of the Philippines is elected for a six year term.  If the current president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, resigns then the vice president, (Manuel) Noli De Castro takes over the office of president.   \n\nThe president can only serve one term under the new (1987) Constitution.

The government of the Philippines is organized as a presidential-unitary republic, where the President functions as head of state, the head of government, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The president is elected by popular vote to a 6-year term, during which he or she appoints and presides over the cabinet of secretaries.\n\nThe bicameral Congress comprises the Senate and the House of Representatives; members of the former are elected at large and those of the latter by geographical district. The 24 senators serve 6-year terms, with half retiring every three years, while the House of Representatives comprises 250 members serving 3-year terms.\n\nThe judicial branch of government is headed by the Supreme Court, with a Chief Justice as its head and 14 Associate Justices, all appointed by the President from nominations submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council. Other courts include the Court of Appeals, the Regional Trial Courts and the Metropolitan Trial Courts.

29 Filipino youth chosen as Ambassadors of Goodwill \n\n \n\nTWENTY-NINE of the country's finest youth leaders will sail the seas to tell Asia how great it is to be Filipino.  \n\n \n\nThis year's delegates to the 32nd Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program (SSEAYP) are a group of talented students and young professionals chosen by the National Youth Commission from thousands of potential applicants from across the country.  \n\n \n\nThey were officially declared Philippine Participating Youths after undergoing a rigorous10-day pre-departure training in Pililla, Rizal in July 2005.  \n\n \n\nThe PPY's include Peterjo Salenda (Region1), Mark Theodore Baccay and Bethzaida Gamiao (Region2), Shierwin Taay and Jacquelyn Iglesias (Region3), Emil Layacan Jr. and Charina Carmen Cabading (Region4), Jyro Trivino and Rosie Avila (Region5), Robert Rodriguez and Nizette Monteblanco (Region6), Joeberth Michael Marti Ocao and Shiela Tuale (Region7), Merwin Kangleon (Region8), Michael Radi and Janine Michelle Cabato (Region9), Marvin Glenn Fernandez and Heidi Joan Calo (Region10), Rotchie Ravelo and Ria Florlynn Tumlad (Region11), Adillah Latiph (ARMM), Merinessa Dimaano (CARAGA), Ivan Baguilat and Yana Gail Castillo (CAR), and Roy Nicolas Molon Jr. and Stephanie Jane Dy Tiapco (NCR). \n\n \n\nThis year's National Leader is Ramon G. Lacbain II who himself was a participating youth in 1991 and who currently serves as vice governor in the province of Zambales. Taay, a provincial board member of Aurora province was voted by the delegation as Youth Leader while Monteblanco, a litigation lawyer in Iloilo City, was chosen Assistant Youth Leader.  \n\n \n\nAn annual cultural exchange program sponsored by the Japanese government, SSEAYP aims to promote friendship and mutual understanding among youth delegates from the 10 participating Southeast Asian countries and Japan.  \n\n \n\nThe Philippine delegation will join its counterparts from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan for two months on board the Japanese ship Nippon Maru.  \n\n \n\nActivities such as institutional visits and home stays in the participating countries, discussion groups, cultural presentations, and other goodwill exchanges are geared towards broadening international perspective and cultivating the spirit of Asian cooperation.  \n\n \n\nThe Philippine delegation this year is named PAGLAUM, a Visayan term for hope. PAGLAUM also stands for "PAGLAlakbay tungo sa UMaga" or a journey towards a prosperous tomorrow.  \n\n \n\nAnd because the Philippine delegation has consistently been regarded as an outstanding contingent in the 31 years of SSEAYP, the group, just like the previous batches, will undergo months of preparation, training and research prior to departure in November.  \n\n \n\nCome October, the delegation will mount a concert in Manila that would give SSEAYP alumni, friends, family, and sponsors a glimpse of the cultural presentations that would be presented on board the ship and in the host countries.

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.

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.

Since the ouster of Ferdinand Marcos the Philipines political landscape has been marked with instability -- i.e. coups and potential coups -- so this current episode seems par for the course.  Furthermore, martial law is never the "answer" when it comes to governance.  Democracy depends upon government respecting the will of the people, and unless the Philipine's armed forces get THAT message then instability will be all that that nation knows, at least for the foreseeable future.

Philippine Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Saturday accepted what she called "the privilege and responsibility to act as president of the republic."\n\n"I do so with both trepidation and awe," she said, after she was sworn in as president following a declaration by Chief Justice Hilario Davide that the presidency was vacant, which effectively booted the embattled Joseph Estrada from office. \n\nPhilippine Vice President Gloria Macapagal is the president now
