It's my first day to post this blog and I'm so excited to start up with my topic. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has been my idol. I consider her as one person I really look up to. Since she took oath as President of the Philippines, she had so many critics and detractors. But this person stayed focused with her job and for me, she is a living hero. She considers herself as the "working president". True enough, she has proven everyone that she really is. She works really hard for the Philippines economy and for the Filipino people. Yesterday, July 27, 2009, she delivered her last State of the Nation's address, 2009. A great speaker she is, every word from her is music to my ears. I admire her wit and humility. That's what she is, "small but terrible", an epitome of a great leader. I could only wish for another State of the Nation address from her. But let me thank her for the improvements she did to our province, Iloilo City. The road going to Sara, Iloilo, just in front of Sara Central School, which had been left hanging until her administration, the RORO(roll on, roll off) ferry project in Passi, Iloilo City, where me and my friends were able to ride going to bacolod and which we paid a very low fair price of only P45 going to Bacolod, the million peso flood control project in Jaro, Iloilo, construction is ongoing now, the overpass project in General Luna St., Iloilo City, the call centers in Iloilo City, software companies such as Eversun Software Corporation, a foreign company to where I am employed now. Let me also mention the Iloilo International Airport, the very cheap NFA rice which is sold for only P35. These are just a few of the President Gloria's projects.No other president has made Iloilo this good as it is today. Thank you is not enough to credit my president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. A great pinoy idol!
Recently, she received a recognition as she ranks number 44 in Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women in The World.
