Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

Gloria Macaraeg Macapagal-Arroyo is the 14th President of the Philippines.

On July 27, 2003, Arroyo faced another rebellion against her regime when more than three hundred renegade junior officers and soldiers of the armed forces of the Philippines mutinied and seized a hotel and a shopping mall in Makati City, financial capital of the Philippines. The mutineers surrendered after a 22 hour standoff upon reaching terms for their peaceful surrender.
