The Philippine president shrugged off low approval ratings, promised to improve the nation's infrastructure and spur more foreign investment
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo shrugged off constant coup rumors, sagging popularity and corruption allegations against her family, vowing yesterday to implement more reforms to kick start the Philippine economy.
Arroyo was generally upbeat in a wide-ranging interview, reiterating "total commitment" to the war against terrorism, lauding increased cooperation with China that has yielded nearly a US$5 billion trade surplus for Manila, and promising to cut red tape and improve infrastructure.

Been hearing this crap from the PI for 40 years and America's Little State, just keeps getting worse for the 99.99% citizens. Where did aWol get the data to give the speech, "The Philippines is the model of Democracy for the whole world to follow"?
I had a backpack and a hat and I have no investigation skills no do I have the multi-trillion dollar investigation equipment/personnel the NSA/CIA/FBI has. So I could I see chlidren ages 4 to 17 being Whored on the streets of the entire country. How about 1-2 blocks from Arroyo's Presidential Palace, tell me our embassy does not know about that. Tell me the Pope doesn't know about it, his largest Catholic country in that half of the world!
Let's not forget Estrada was taken out by a coup and Arroya stuffs ballots to win.
