Siyam na taon niyang hinawakan ang pinakamakapangyarihang posisyon, ang pinakamatagal matapos ang dalawampung taong pamumuno ni dating Pangulong Marcos. Sa Lunes, muling ihahayag ni Pangulong Arroyo sa taumbayan ang kanyang mga nagawa sa kanyang huling State of the Nation Address. Nang siya ay nanumpa noong 2004, ibinida ng Pangulo ang Ten-Point Agenda bilang "flagship program" ng kanyang pamamahala. Binansagang BEAT THE ODDS o Balanced budget, Education for all, Automated elections, Transportation and infrastructure, Terminate hostilities of MILF and NPA, Heal the wounds of EDSA, Electricity and water for all, Opportunities for livelihood, Decongestion of Metro Manila at Develop Subic and Clark. Sa nalalabing panahon ng kanyang panunungkulan, kamusta ang itinakbo ng mga programang ito? Sa tulong ng mga dalubhasa at eksperto sa iba't ibang larangan, kilatisin kung bagsak o pasado ba ang Pangulo sa kanyang mga ipinangakong programa.
