                    [Summary] => President Arroyo vowed yesterday to take on "entrenched interests," keep a tight lid on consumer prices and go after profiteers to save the country from a looming financial crisis.


Calling herself a "non-political president," Mrs. Arroyo said she is prepared to make bold and tough decisions — even if they are unpopular — to avoid a possible fiscal crisis while pushing her anti-poverty program.


"Let there be no mistake: I will move this nation forward. I will take on whatever vested interests stand in my way. If these interests believe they can destabilize and sabotage our efforts, they better think twice," Mrs. Arroyo told a press forum of the Manila Overseas Press Club (MOPC) and the "Tuesday Club," both headed by STAR publisher Max Soliven, at the Ristorante La Dolce Fontana in Greenhills, San Juan.


When the moderator of the forum, Biznews Asia editor and MOPC president Tony Lopez, commented that Mrs. Arroyo sounded like she meant business, she replied: "I think I can do that, being a non-political president. In fact, I don’t even have to be popular."
