President Arroyo underwent removal and replacement of breast silicone implants at a hospital in Muntinlupa City, a source told the Manila Bulletin.
The informant, who requested anonymity since the source was not authorized to speak about the matter, said the President was scheduled to undergo augmentation mammoplasty at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Alabang, Muntinlupa. . .
Has to be a hoax. You naughty, naughty hackers.
Thanks to Fabia for the alert.
Update, 1311. It appears I have given hackers too much credit. According to the Bulletin it is a legitimate news story. However, they changed the first paragraph. The story also appears in the print version. So there.
Jarius Bondoc has details in the Star.
Why did I assume it was a hoax/hack attack? Geek fantasy? (Saw Jonny Lee Miller in the audience at Wimbledon and immediately thought, Hackers!) Did I expect Malacanang spin control to plug up all information leaks? Or do I simply not think of the president as being a woman?

Even if Bulletin changed it, seems true: http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=483276&publicationSubCategoryId=64

Breast implant for GMA?What possible use for bigger boobs can she have?The implants might sag and touch the ground,unless she wears ten inch heels. Seriously,what this woman needs is a “conscience implant”. Or a “facial dermatological reduction procedure”. Her two sons may also benefit from this procedure,although people who need this are usually often in denial stage that such a procedure is necessary.

in which case, we’ll have the first case of a president who can walk on four appendages. an evolutionary event i am most excited to witness.

Well, GMA must have had the implants for at least ten years already, since the original Bulletin story said she was having her old implants removed and new ones put in.
That sounds about right, since doctors recommend changing the silicone implants every ten years, as they get lumpy and may leak! Yuck!

The country’s current state is GMA’s real boob job.
