The Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Experience in Review



A good job can be summed up by results. Gloria Managed to have a throng of haters who did not dare think facts straight from her performance as a leader in this declining world economy.

I would be as straight up as I can be in facts that I believe to be true. Let us start with her Vision, Philippines as a First World Country in 2020. How did she do it?

Prior to office cleaning up Erap’s Sham that lead to the lowest growth rate after the Marcos regime, GMA was able to put the Philippines in recovery mode with a 6.1% economic growth.

In the year 2005, her administration managed to post an appreciation rate of 6%, THE FASTEST IN THE ASIAN REGION FOR THE YEAR.

Despite challenges of Natural Disasters and unprecedented events that lead to red marks in the world financial market eye (they were too many to mention) G M A’s term posted an economic growth rate of 5.4% in 2006, 2007 GDP grew 7.3% Managed to buffer our economy posting a 3.8 percent slowdown when other countries posted negative giving a .09% recovery when others managed to slip off on a negative in 2009. Gloria Finishes off 2010 term by welcoming the forthcoming Aquino administration with a GDP growth of 7.3 percent in the first quarter of 2010 from 0.5 percent last year.

The question is: will this popular Aquino vote be able to pursue this vision of a forward state?

Abangan.

I SHALL NOT EAT INSIDE MCDONALDS SUCAT PARANAQUE

Image
Dear Mr. CEO of Mcdonalds (SYMBOL: MCD) Aside from the shrinking serving and very poor service that most of your franchises here have. I have to tell you that Your Sucat, Paranaque Branch suck. Below is the picture of a mosquito infested, poorly interior decorated and oh so messy stinky and very old bathroom, plus the unwashed curtain from pre school days makes this branch of Mcdonalds a sequel of the Twighlight zone. The part that bugged me so much is the Lola Decorations of THAT PLATE in THE WALL. It is old and dead, with over cooked spaghetti even. I just want to put this in your attention as I believe that one experience can kill everybody's Mcdonalds experience.

The trek back to THE VARSITARIAN and some snippets of the filipino culture

Any thomasian know The Varsitarian, I think it's the oldest org paper in the Philippines. What struck me in the front pages though is VATICAN CONFIRMS DELA ROSA UST’s 95th rector to be installed June 10 Funny because I didn't know that aside from The Pope, The Saints and all, The Vatican has a say to U.S.T`s rector. I miss Santo Tomas, the smell of grass in the morning field, the adrenaline in the gym, The Ala Starbucks in P noval and that string of joints in the parameters of that heart of espana. Almers, Cocoys, Ryan J gym, Goldilocks, Pizzahut, Lopez, and that fried chicken place which I forgot. I left Santo Tomas NOT in a heart beat. I had to go through widthrawals because I had an addiction to football at that time. I smell the grass, I drop my bags and drop my course and play. We always had a saying, "Sagabal ang Pag aaral sa Football". How I regret it now. I didnt know anything then so.. The Varsitarian was the first paper I have ever seen my name on. Hahahaha...
