President Arroyo is racking up more frequent flyer miles abroad with her latest trip to Libya. This is her 73rd foreign trip during her adminstartion.
Despite criticisms about her apparent obsession for foreign travels at the expense of public funds and the lavish dinners in La Cirque and Bobby Van's. PGMA leaved the country yesterday and went to Libya.
