Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Filipino Quotations

Filipino businessmen must have the ability to compete freely in the global economy.

As the leader of the nation, I say in behalf of the Filipino people to the world: we are strong and principled believers in democracy.

Our educational system should make the Filipino fit not just for whatever jobs happen to be on offer today, but also for whatever economic challenge life will throw in their way.

College education is the great Filipino dream. But in a world of rapid technological change, getting a job or keeping it depends as much on how well one reasons as how well one uses his hands.
