14TH President Of The Philippines

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

(2001-2010)

Arroyo, a practicing economist, has made the economy the focus of her presidency. Early in her presidency, Arroyo implemented a controversial policy of holiday economics, adjusting holidays to form longer weekends with the purpose of boosting domestic tourism and allowing Filipinos more time with their families

Allegations of cheating against Arroyo gained momentum one year after the May 2004 elections.
