I don't like her, that's just my personal opinion though, she comes through to me as arrogant.
Although, I must say, I'm not very sure of whether to judge her presidency as a failure or a success. Maybe she needs to be arrogant to be effective?
About her running for Congress, I don't really care, let the folks there in her hometown decide for themselves if they want to give her that chance.

President Arroyo made every possible sin to bring her to where she is right.. Whether to cheat in the elections, cook all evidences, and even destroy friendships.. She's done it all and she's really good on getting away with all of these.. Well only God can serve justice if our Law cannot.. On the positive side, GMA is a hard-working president.. She've done and accomplish some of her 10 point agenda programs.. These programs actually made a lot of difference in our country.. For these, i salute her.. Its just to sad to think that she would sell her soul in trying to make a difference for the improvement of our nation.(:

Yup,, well i guess we really can't do anything about the cheating issue now not unless you want to join those peolple protesting in the streets... I don't think thats a good idea to because its just a waste of time.. I think we should just give her a shot and let her term expires..take care my friend.(:

though i'm a filipino, i don't like our president. even during the edsa revolution2, but she was next line after erap. so no choice really. how can our country progress if our leader has problems, personally and politically.
it is very frustrating, people walked on the streets for a change. but for years nothing new. life is more hard now.
do you believe in the peso standing in the world market? if it is really true that peso is not devaluating, how come the people can't feel it. it's more than 6 months now, there should have been some effect in the market. but still the same, just the figures changing. life is the same. just a bit uploftment, would be nice for the people.

She would always want power and so she would run for congress afterwards if there's nothing better anymore just to have that power. She is the Godmother. I don't like her to be the President of the Republic of the Philippines but now she is and we can't do anything peaceful to oust her.

Personally I don't really know if I would like her or not. She is indeed brilliant and a leader. But I did not say good or very good. Her decision to run for congress in her town is her own choice and I am definite that she might win there for sure.

I really dont like her personaly but I respect her as the president of the Philippines. About her running for congress in their town well, thats what we have to wait see for, she said it once that she will not run for office during the last presidential electiosn but she did run for president. So im crossing my fingers about that issue.

I like her guts. I choose her over erap. Let's just stop all the hate, it contributes a lot in messing up the Philippines. I bet even the next ten presidents would still be accused of corruption. The truth is... it was soooo many years ago when the Philippines became so poor. We've been poor since God knows when. Even the next ten Presidents can't really change that overnight. Let's just be thankful that we have lots of investors now, at least we have something to pull us up an inch.

In reality, she is not even supposed to be there at the Palace. Her ooponent is the real winner in the last election. Moreso, her other half is even worst than FM's other half.
