Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (1947 - )
The current president of the Philippines.  She served as vice president under President Estrada and became president when he was forced to step down for malfeasance, through the People’s Power II revolution. PGMA has confronted some of the same obstacles as did her father, President Diosdado Macapagal, when he tried to clean up corruption in government. Her government continues enjoy political legitimacy in the face of opposition.
