Mentrestant, a les Filipines, Dave Llorito va escriure una peça el 2007 que, encertadament, va titular "Gloria Arroyo no és Thatcher", en la qual argumentava que tot i que l'expresidenta de les Filipines tractava d'implementar polítiques thatcherianes, fallava bàsicament perquè a "Arroyo li mancava l'ànima" de la Dama de Ferro.
