Even if Ms Macapagal Arroyo were to succeed in amending the constitution so that the constraints on her remaining in power were removed, her deep unpopularity would mean that she would meet strong public resistance. There is no clear front-runner for the presidential election, but two opposition figures, Manuel Villar and Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, along with the choice of the administration, Gilberto Teodoro, are the most credible challengers. 7c856f4f1d6960c0227bdbe41cf9dde7Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/PhilippinesPhilippines Defence and Security Report Q4 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/philippines/philippines_defence_security_report_q4_2009.htmlThe Philippines is gearing up for its upcoming presidential and congressional elections in May 2010 amid increasing political uncertainty. The ruling Lakas-Kampi-CMD will be facing a resurgent opposition, benefiting from the revival of democratic fervour stemming from the death of former President Corazon Aquino, who was instrumental in overthrowing the despotic Marcos administration via the 'People's Power' revolution in 1986. However, fragmented opposition with multiple presidential contenders will probably mean that the incumbents, Lakas-Kampi-CMD, will remain in power. ac0e0136d3845397d344b0e353f93d85Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/PhilippinesCountry Report Philippines October 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/philippines/country_report_philippines_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 The president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, will remain in power until her term ends in June 2010.

Indeed, the ruling Lakas-Kampi-CMD will be facing a resurgent opposition benefiting from a revival of democratic fervour stemming from the death of former president Corazon Aquino, who was instrumental in overthrowing the despotic Marcos administration via the 'People's Power' revolution in 1986. But a fragmented opposition with multiple presidential contenders will mean that the incumbent Lakas-Kampi-CMD still has a fair chance to remain in power. efbf6748f47b4672d6a56f86d50af5b9Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/PhilippinesCountry Report Philippines August 2009http://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/philippines/country_report_philippines_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly Country Reports.

However, the country continues to struggle with a lack of feedstock and a relatively small and inefficient local polymers manufacturing sector, which will continue to inhibit growth for the foreseeable future. JG Summit Petrochemical's revival of its proposed 350,000tpa naphtha cracker for completion in 2009 is intended to address the country's feedstock shortage. 10ac3ce6f0b2ed6c90e1107cd7f44eb3Mon, 12 May 2008 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Philippines
