\nparty's board, her husband, and others, such as senior politician
\nFrans Seda and her assistant Bambang Kesowo, she was the one that
\ndecided on the structure and personnel. She received some names
\nfrom the political parties, but made her own choice from the
\nlist.<\/p>\n

MANILA: President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has announced that
\nthe Philippine government would not rule out the imposition of
\ncurrency controls to defend the peso from speculative attacks.
\nShe issued the statement at the end of her visit to Malaysia, a
\ncountry that successfully defended its currency, the ringgit,
\nthrough temporary capital controls at the height of speculative
\nattacks on Asian currencies, including the peso, by predatory
\nportfolio fund managers.<\/p>",
