More significantly for us, Indonesia, with its 245 million citizens, a full 216 million of whom are Muslim, is apparently undergoing a "spiritual revolution." Fundamentalism is gaining substantial ground on moderate Islam which has been the main engine of progress and economic growth in that country.

In this case, it’s not good news for challenger Fernando Poe, Jr.

The SWS puts Panday only slightly ahead of La Presidenta by giving him a 34.9 percent rating against La Gloria’s 32.9 percent in a survey conducted between March 11 to 19 – 39 days into the campaign. Given the margin of error of 2.2 percent, this means that FPJ and GMA are running neck and neck.

The new Indonesian leader is scheduled to visit the Philippines later this month.

Both Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Megawati Sukarnoputri are the daughters of former presidents.
