Maria Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (born April 5, 1947) is a Filipino politician who served as the 14th President of the Philippines from 2001 to 2010, as the 12th Vice President of the Philippines from 1998 to 2001, and is currently a member of the House of Representatives representing the 2nd District of Pampanga. She was the country's second female president (after Corazón Aquino), and the daughter of former President Diosdado Macapagal.

She was a former professor of economics at Ateneo De Manila University where Noynoy Aquino was one of her students. She entered government in 1987, serving as assistant secretary and undersecretary of the Department of Trade and Industry upon the invitation of President Corazón Aquino. After serving as a senator from 1992 to 1998, she was elected to the vice presidency under President Joseph Estrada, despite having run on an opposing ticket. After Estrada was accused of corruption, she resigned her cabinet position as Secretary of Social Welfare and Development and joined the growing opposition to the president, who faced impeachment. Estrada was soon forced from office by the EDSA Revolution of 2001, and Arroyo was sworn into the presidency by Chief Justice Hilario Davide, Jr. on January 20, 2001. She was elected to a full six-year presidential term in the controversial May 2004 Philippine elections, and was sworn in on June 30, 2004. Following her presidency she was elected to the House of Representatives, making her the second Philippine president-after Jose P. Laurel-to pursue a lower office after their presidency.

She is currently residing at La Vista Subdivision in Quezon City.

This is a rare situation where the son of our President Gloria Arroyo reveals the ways and secrets on how public officials can manipulate and steal millions of public money. Our government officials have forgotten that these money are intended to build schools, hospitals, fund scholarships for deserving students, health care, housing for thousands of families, fight poverty, food for the children...etc They have taken the rights of the poor people to live and survive. Their human dignity lost as we watch videos on Youtube of children and families eating garbage gathered from dump sites and restaurant garbage bins. Each day is a struggle to survive.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Pineda said he is giving his all-out support for the young Batangueño who has been dubbed the "next Arnel Pineda." "OK na OK. Mangyayari yan. I'm going to support him, syempre kababayan natin yan," he said during an outreach program in Quezon City. Pineda, who is in town after recording a new album with Journey, trekked 3 kilometers to bring food, slippers, hygiene products and toys to 100 kids in an impoverished area in Barangay Bagong Silangan, Sitio Bangkal, Quezon City. Pineda, together with volunteers from the Arnel Pineda Foundation, gave some basic reading lessons to the children. Pineda said he chose the area for the outreach after hearing about the needs of the kids. "I really hope that more help will come to them especially medical help since you will have to walk 30 minutes just to get to the place. We need to reorient them in using their resources here as alternative medicine. Sa education, we are here para maturuan sila ng moral values, family, hygiene. gusto namin ma discuss kung ano natutunan nila sa school," he said.

The three were freed last Friday in Rodriquez, Rizal. Fidel V. Agcaoili, spokesperson of the NDFP Negotiating Panel, lauded the NAAC for abiding by international humanitarian law (IHL) and the NPAs own Rules of Discipline in extending humane treatment to the three POWs and ensuring their safety despite the unrelenting military operations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) in the province of Rizal. At the same time, Agcaoili lambasted the AFP and the PNP for disregarding the well-being of their own men in pursuing rescue operations and delaying the issuance of the so-called suspension of combat operations despite the persistent pleas of the relatives of the POWs and the intercession of well-meaning elements. In fact, the AFP violated their so-called suspension of combat operations in fielding armed agents in the vicinity of the release area. To ensure the safe release of the POWs, the NPA <b>...</b>
