What can you say about the last 9 years that passed?

In the interest of order, I will have to recognize that she was one of our presidents. I have to disagree though with your statement that she stole the presidency from Erap. I recognize EDSA II and its effects, principal of which is Erap's ouster. I admit I joined EDSA II but even at that time, I was hesitant since Gloria was waiting in the wings. I did not trust her but to prevent another crisis, I accepted her as next president. I thought that she would stand pat by her decision not to run in 2004. I could no longer remember if that was her first deceitful statement, but in the later years of her administration, I cannot remember anything she said that was true. As for the 2004 election, I agree, her status as president was in question. That was largely the problem why she could not do much for this country because she was so unpopular that people just buried their heads under the sand and wished for 2010. I was one of them. As I was watching PNoy's inauguration, I tried to remember past inaugurations and for the life of me, I could not remember hers! I remember all the way to Cory but hers is a blank to me. I do remember the feeling of despair and disappointment the morning I woke up and learned that she was proclaimed. But I could not bear the alternative, FPJ. I really considered migrating that year but my mother's health stopped me. Like you, I cannot stand her family too. I do not know why but her sons give off some negative vibe to me and it really annoys me to see them. For the first time, after 9 years, I begin to hope again. I hope that we can rise again.

that's easy for you to say, most specially if the media is completely against, any speculation about her will be taken into news, unlike this new President, it's rest assured that the media will always give a good image on Noynoy ALL the WAY. I can understand you're frustration, remember with out GLoria, we would have seriously plunged into the FInancial crisis, she prevented that from happening. the only thing that she should do now is answer the allegations being thrown at her and not that stupid book about answering allegations. She did her best the way she thought was possible. every President has goods and bads. am sure Noynoy won't be exempted in this as time goes by.

Well, Gloria Arroyo was a legitimate President and in fact the 14th President of the Republic. Though she put Erap Estrada to jail, cheated during the elections as reported although not confirmed until now, or amassed the country's wealth, still she was the President of the Philippines. She did many good jobs but they were overlooked by the bad and evil things done under her administration.

During mrs. Arroyo's last walk towards her car, I was really cheering "YAY" and clapping my hands too! No doubt she have done a lot. Really did a lot. Transportation has never been faster. Connecting the trains were a great idea. She actually had a lot of great ideas and a lot of great ideas turned into actions. The problem is that, with all the projects she started, and created, she earned a lot. The prices were over-declared or somehow in someway she benefited (or someone close to her) fro the projects. She masked her graft and corruption through projects. I guess she was banking on the thinking "Di bale ng corrupt basta may nagagawa", which was very popular among the haters of Erap's administration. She thought wrong!

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best score) I will give her 6. Yes there are lots of negative feedback on her, lots of scandals, lots of negative publicity but we should also consider the things she has done. Think about it. If she didn't do anything useful as a president I don't think she will be able to finish her term. EDSA 4 (or 3 if you don't consider the pro Erap rally) might have taken place. I think the blooming of call center is one proof that she's doing her job. Lots of available work for the Filipino people. And many economists agree that she has done well on keeping our economy afloat during the time of recession. Minus the scandals and corruption she might has been a great president. And for those that do not believe on GMA being corrupt open your eyes. Our country has become the most corrupt country during her term. As a president she should have done something about it. I give her 3 because of the corruption and all other bad things. I will give her 9 for the good things she has done. I just get the average so that makes it 6. So for Miss Gloria Macapagal Arroyo I thank you for all the good things you did as a president. But please answer all the allegations and scandals that you are facing. Good riddance.
