 Philippines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The current presidency of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has been marred by political instability and allegations of election rigging and corruption.
The government of the Philippines is organized as a presidential-unitary republic, where the President functions as head of state, the head of government, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
While some cite a return to democracy and governmental reform in the post-Marcos era, government corruption, continuing civil unrest and the activity of communist insurgency and Muslim separatist movements continue to hamper economic productivity in the country.

Her perception that the threat of a People Power uprising or of a military coup had waned seemed to have emboldened President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo into admitting last June 27 that it is her voice in the “tapes” of the allegedly wiretapped conversations between her and “a Comelec official.”
Chief among them is the absence of any consensus among the groups arrayed against Macapagal Arroyo as to how to remove her, and who or what should succeed her.
Arroyo’s claim that she did not cheat, the phone conversations between her and former Commission on Elections Commissioner Virigilio Garcillano suggest that there was indeed a conspiracy to manipulate the results of the May 2004 vote.

First Gentleman Mike Arroyo’s controversial stay last month in a US$20,000 a night villa of the Las Vegas MGM Grand Hotel, regardless if the stay was free or not, was the very anti-thesis of President Diosdado Macapagal’s simple living which called for a lifestyle similar to that of Juan de la Cruz.
We expected that Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo would have at least remained steadfast to the simple living legacy of her father.
Instead, Macapagal-Arroyo brought us to our worst ever fiscal crisis, one that was partly brought about by her own excessive election campaign spending which involved the misuse of public funds.

In a display of obvious coverup, the two main actors involved, Gloria and Garci, in the investigation have been conveniently left out and scapegoats within the government body are now being processed for possible prosecution.

 TIME Asia Magazine: Can She Hold On? -- Jul. 18, 2005
Last week Gloria Macapagal Arroyo jumped the gun on the speech scheduled for July 25 because, as she told her countrymen in a hurried radio address, the nation's state was so parlous it needed fixes that couldn't wait.
Arroyo's address was the most eloquent of her career, and her points about the Philippines' hurly-burly political system might have hit home—if her own widely criticized presidency weren't hanging by the thinnest of threads.
Arroyo also said she couldn't resign in the wake of allegations that she fixed last year's presidential election because it would show the Philippines to be "hopelessly unstable."
