Forbes' Most Powerful Women 2009: Gloria Arroyo is #44

Philippines' Most Unpopular President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has been named once again as one of the most powerful women in the world.

On Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women list for 2009, GMA is at #44, three ranks down from her #41 placement last year.

It's now GMA's fourth time in the 100 Most Powerful list: #9 in 2004, #46 in 2006, #41 in 2008 and #44 in 2009.

Gloria Arroyo's description on Forbes' site:
In July, she became Southeast Asia's first leader to meet U.S President Barack Obama in the White House, a boon to an otherwise lame-duck presidency. Arroyo's tumultuous six-year term ends with new elections in May 2010. Potential power grab in the works: Congressional allies are pushing through changes to the Constitution that would see the Philippines adopt a parliamentary system; then Arroyo could get around the presidential term limit by becoming prime minister. Critics contend this may further sink the stalling economy that earlier in the year hit a 10-year-low GDP growth of 0.4%. Arroyo also has her hands full dealing with rise in domestic terrorism.

This year's most powerful is once again (for the 4th time) Angela Merkel from Germany.
