More than 50 former Philippine officials called for President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's Cabinet to resign, stoking political turbulence yesterday in the face of corruption charges that have battered her presidency.
The officials from previous administrations, including former Arroyo Cabinet members, 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 a new corruption scandal. At least 3,000 protesters attended the Mass at a Catholic university in suburban Manila.
