If the military has the power to topple governments in other countries, in the Philippines, that power belongs to the media, the President said.


Mrs. Arroyo also sought the media’s help in boosting the economy further as she claimed that the Philippines is no longer a Third World country because its people "will be enjoying a per capita income of $1,400 this year."
