    The "world's most powerful" person — at least by the standards of Forbes magazine — will be coming to the Philippines two weeks from now, during the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders' meeting in Manila.

    And the top ten are:-

    In its annual "Ranking of the World's Most Powerful People" Forbes gave the top spot this year to Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to the magazine, he is "one of the few men in the world powerful enough to do what he wants — and get away with it." The list of 73 individuals consists of a mix of figures from business, media, and politics.

    Despite Russia's seizure of Crimea, the conflict in Ukraine, and international sanctions, the magazine pointed out that Putin has enjoyed strong public support at home. In June, his approval ratings reached an all-time high of 89%.

    Forbes also said that Putin's bombing of ISIS forces in Syria and face-to-face meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad have made "the U.S and NATO look weak in the region, and [have helped] rebuild Russian influence abroad."
