Ex-officials urge Cabinet to resign
- Share via
More than 50 former Philippine officials called for President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s Cabinet to resign, stoking political turbulence amid corruption allegations.
The officials from previous administrations, including former members of Arroyo’s Cabinet, made the public appeal after attending a Mass led by Roman Catholic groups and ex-President Corazon Aquino to show support for a star witness in allegations of contract bribery. At least 3,000 protesters attended the Mass at a Catholic university in suburban Manila.
The president’s key aides have denied the allegations.
