The Case Against Gloria Macapal-Arroyo

These are the questions Filipinos wanted to ask,

but no one dared to demand answers.

Questions that should been asked during the Philippine Presidential debates,

but moderators did not have the basketballs to ask.

Until now.

The case against Gloria Macapal-Arroyo

1. Daughter of a former president but expects the Philippines to a “first-world country in 20 years.” If she can’t do it in her prime, what makes her think she can do it after she retires from politics?
2. What was the economic situation of the Philippines when:

§ Her father was president?

§ Marcos was still a dictator?

§ Mao Zedong was still alive?

§ Deng Xiaoping changed China?

§ Lee Kuan Yew was still Prime Minister of Singapore?

§ Lee Kuan Yew’s son, Lee Hsien Loong, was NOT yet Prime Minister?

§ the Philippines celebrated its Centennial?

• What’s the economic situation of the Philippines NOW during her presidency?
• What substantial achievements have you done for the country? Can they stand up to academic scrutiny? Try a non-economist like me?
