Gloria Arroyo is the 14th and current president of the Philippines. The second female president of the country, Arroyo is the daughter of former president, Diosdado Macapagal. Prior to entering politics in 1987, Arroyo was a professor of economics. Arroyo first took the position of president amid revolts and protests and this turmoil has come to characterize both of her terms in office. As president, Arroyo has focused on the economy and, through the implementation of a series of "holiday economics" polices, has lowered inflation rates to a recent low and garnered praise from international observers. Arroyo is a strong supported of United States foreign policy, including the Iraq War and War on Terror. She has also tried to improve regional relations as represented in the Cebu City hosting of the ASEAN Summit in 2007.
