PULSE Asia
Despite these conditions, GMA's administration survived the many attempts to remove her from power. The GMA administration has consistently proven its adeptness in crisis management that ensures her political survival.
Malapit na sana tayo sa pagbalanse ng budget. We were retiring debts in great amounts, reducing the drag on our country's development, habang namumuhunan sa taong bayan. Biglang-bigla, nabaligtad ang ekonomiya ng mundo. Ang pagtalon ng presyo ng langis at pagkain ay nagbunsod ng pandaigdigan krisis, the worst since the Great Depression and the end of World War II. Some blame speculators moving billions of dollars from subprime mortgages to commodities like fuel and food. Others point of the very real surge in demand as millions of Chinese and Indians move up to the middle class. Whatever the reasons, we are on a roller coaster ride of oil price hikes, high food prices and looming economic recession in the US and other markets. Uncertainty has moved like a terrible tsunami around the globe, wiping away gains, erasing progress.

Proposes a power sharing scheme between the central government and the Federal states Bill has been endorsed by at least 15 Senators
The resolution also calls for the election of six senators in each of the 11 component federal states. Nine other senators will be elected to represent the Filipinos overseas. This will expand the membership of the Senate from the current 24 to 75 members, according to the resolution. Members of the House of Representatives will be elected by district but limited to a maximum of 350. The resolution provides that the senators will serve for a term of six years and congressmen, three years. The senators will be limited to two terms and congressmen, four terms.
Unless the crisis translates to massive peoples protest and broader anti-GMA opposition, GMA will be able to politically consolidate around cha-cha and consequently around her post 2010 option.
