2. "Yeah, you folks are such terrific houseboys."
Please, don't anyone get him near Obama on the day he enters the White House. He'll want to stick a lantern in one of his hands and a brass ring in the other and pose him on the front lawn.

3. Something occurred to me later.
It's lucky he didn't say something like, "When I eat dinner here, I am reminded of all the great talent of the Filipinas and the Filipenises..."

A municipality was named in her honor, Gloria, Oriental Mindoro. She attended Assumption Convent for her elementary and high school education, graduating valedictorian in 1964. Arroyo then studied for two years at Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service in Washington, D.C. where she was a classmate of future United States President Bill Clinton and achieved consistent Dean's list status.<3> She then earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Assumption College, graduating magna cum laude in 1968.
In 1968, Arroyo married lawyer and businessman Jose Miguel Arroyo of Binalbagan, Negros Occidental, whom she had met while still a teenager.<1> They had three children, Juan Miguel (born 1969), Evangelina Lourdes (born 1971) and Diosdado Ignacio Jose Maria (born in 1974). She pursued a Master's Degree in Economics from the Ateneo de Manila University (1978) and a Doctorate Degree in Economics from the University of the Philippines (1985).<4> From 1977 to 1987, she held teaching positions in different schools, notably the University of the Philippines and the Ateneo de Manila University.
