MANILA - President Benigno Aquino III recalled how former President and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo gave him hard time back in college as her student in economics.

In an interview on "Gandang Gabi Vice," Aquino said Arroyo was very knowledgeable about the subject and often gave them thick reading lists, especially during the final exams.

"Kapag final exams nga e parang, isang libro, isang tanong. Itinanong nga nung kaklase ko, ' ma'am, mamimili po ba kami ng reading list?' [Ang sagot niya,] 'no, we have to go through all of that,''' he recalled.

Asked what grade he got in Arroyo's subject, Aquino said: "B+."

Years after that college encounter, Arroyo went on to become president of the Philippines for nine years and Aquino became her successor.

In 2012, Rep. Arroyo issued a statement entitled "It's the economy, student!" which was meant to school Aquino after the Philippine economy went down to 3.2% growth in the third quarter of 2011, way below the the 7% growth recorded when she stepped down.

But the Philippines received its first-ever investment grade credit rating from Fitch in March 2013, as the economy grew at one of the fastest rates in Asia.

Moody's and Standard & Poor's followed suit, completing the Philippines' rise to investment grade rank.—Gandang Gabi Vice, January 4, 2015
