Noynoy Aquino remembers what his father said before he died. "Filipinos are
worth fighting for." He made sure to make his decisions right and what he thinks
is the best for the people. One of the famous topics that were talked about
during his Presidency is the West Philippine Sea and the Exclusive Economic
Zone, He said that dealing with China was his toughest challenge.

part in the revolution during the year of Marcos and is being taught until today.

Her nine years of Presidency has helped our country’s economy. Gloria
Macapagal Arroyo instituted a lot of policies and contributed to our economic
stability averaging at around 4.5 percent annually according to Daily Tribune. During

Market Development Plan. There, it is stated that the financial securities are traded, such
as bonds which did help in raising funds for long-term investments.

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is the daughter of the late President Diosdado Macapagal. She is
recognized as leader that shows strong desire when it comes to uniting the Filipino citizens and
leading them by example. Since she believed that the Filipinos should unite, it is stated by
Steven Rood of The Asia Foundation that Gloria Macapagal Arroyo switched the “all out war”
policy to “all out peace” which made progress between the government and the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front.

RODRIGO DUTERTE
1. Why is this individual a great leader?
During the elections, Rodrigo Duterte sparked hope for the Filipinos because of his
strong will to seek for change. However, the people now have different response
towards him because of what is happening lately. There are a list of things to hate but
we cannot deny the fact that he did made changes in this country. In his presidency,
he improved the hotlines by centralizing it (911 and 8888) which is easier because it is
well known. He also prioritized the issue of drug operations which billions worth were
seized.
