MANILA, OCTOBER 7, 2010 (STAR) By Aurea Calica - President Aquino and his girlfriend, Valenzuela City Councilor Shalani Soledad have broken up, sources told The STAR yesterday.
According to the sources, the President and Soledad first went on a "cool off period" and then broke up after Aquino arrived from his trip to the United States in September.
But the sources refused to detail the reason for the breakup, except that the two had both been busy and focused on their jobs.
As reports on the breakup came out, a Facebook account called Love Destroyed surfaced and said Soledad had found someone else.
Palace officials said they could not comment because it was a private matter.
GMA no longer on Forbes power list By Edith Regalado (The Philippine Star) Updated October 08, 2010 12:00 AM Comments (1)
DAVAO CITY, Philippines – From fourth rank in 2005, to No. 41 in 2008, to No. 44 in 2009, former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is no longer on the list of Forbes.com's 100 most powerful women in the world for this year.
US First Lady Michelle Obama zoomed to the top of the list this year as she has been described to have made the office of first lady her own.
The Forbes list came out as Arroyo appeared for the first time before the Department of Justice to answer a plunder case filed against her.
Forbes noted Obama, a Harvard-schooled lawyer, to be a forceful advocate of school nutrition standards and military familiesaffairs, being more involved in policy.
"But unlike Hillary Clinton, who championed a secretive (and ultimately unsuccessful) health care reform, Obama has stayed away from hard policy. A fashion icon and an athletic mother of two, she's Jackie Kennedy with a law degree from Harvard and street sense from Chicago's South Side, Forbes said of Obama.
Singapore's Ho Ching, chief executive of Temasek Holdings, and Chua Sock Koong, group chief executive of Singapore Telecommunications, as well China's Sun Yafang, chair of Huawei Technologies, were the only Asians who made it to this year's list at 30th ,71st, and 90th places, respectively.
