Jack and I had the opportunity to attend an investors' forum presented by Mrs. Arroyo and a delegation of foreign and local businessmen and government officials. It was refreshing to spend an afternoon hearing nice things about the Philippines for a change. GMA seemed tough and passionate about the Philippines, which is good. However, she also looked tired and a tad humorless. Tsk, mahirap siguro talagang maging presidente ng Pilipinas.
The plans till 2010 look impressive, though. There's the new expressway from Pampanga to La Union, the additional MRT lines from Cavite to Monumento and the reopening of the railway to the north and south of Metro Manila. A multinational even braved the stormy part of Bicol and established a call center in Camarines Sur. Oragon!
