| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The year 2007 was typically turbulent for the Philippines. Violence-plagued mid-term elections produced a stinging defeat for President Arroyo's Senate team, while corruption scandals spurred another impeachment attempt. The economy was relatively robust, but concerns remain about the country's fiscal health and the long-term effects of a strong peso. |
