President
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo stresses a point in her statement before national and local media
members after her meeting with the members of the Cabinet Communications Group Wednesday
afternoon (Dec. 28) at the Mansion House in Baguio City. The President said that her
meeting with the Cabinet Communications Group is very timely since "it is the last
week of the year, at the time when key departments and agencies can pro-actively project
their impact programs for next year." The President also said that it is a good time
to look forward to as she cited as an indicator the strong peso performance against the
dollar, describing it (the peso) as now the best performing currency in the world. With
