1) The document argues that former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo exhibited Machiavellian tendencies by pursuing and maintaining power through any means necessary.
2) Specifically, it claims that as vice president, Arroyo did not oppose President Estrada's impeachment and then used her new position as president to pretend she was good in order to win re-election, without showing concern for overseas Filipino workers.
3) After controversial election results were revealed, Arroyo refused to resign even as evidence showed she may not have won, prioritizing holding onto power over addressing the people's suffering or weakened institutions.

-Nicolo Machiavelli- For me I considered the Former President and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as one of the Machiavillian leader because of power/position. When Gloria as a vice president, she saw no evil and heard no evil when she as the head of the opposition, was duty bound to take issue with the Former President Erap Estrada as President. When Estrada already impeach Arroyo take the position as president and for almost 2 years as a president she uses it to pretend that she is good so that she will be win for the next National election. 2 years of being a president she never shows special concern to the OFW because during that time the OFW cannot vote outside the Philippines except if they go back to the Philippines I think the RA 9189and because of this Law the Filipino OFW voters to vote in the Philippines. During her administration she appoint her Husband as special envoy to the OFW’s. Gloria don’t care the OFW. After election she won as a President but by 2005 the former Commission on Election Commissioner Garcillano revealed the HILLOW GARCI TAPE and people called her to resign but she said I am not resigning my office and she said I was duly elected to uphold and ensure that the institution of the nations were strengthening no weakened according to her. From that time many Filipino’s suffer the hunger but she did not care on that many Filipino’s has no work but she doesn’t care because she was already in power her aim is power. Even the evidence was clear that she is not the winner of that election but still she doesn’t care because she was already in power. Lastly, from then on and even until now the Arroyo was one of the example of Machiavellian to hang on fast eroding Power and Influences.
