Another Bush Ally Having a Tough Time

From the BBC:

Philippines President Gloria Arroyo has asked her entire Cabinet to resign, amid continuing calls for her to quit.

Mrs Arroyo, who apologised last week for a "lapse of judgement" over a phone call made during last year's election, said she herself would not step down.

"First of all, I am not resigning my office," she said.

Mrs Arroyo, who has been accused of trying to unfairly influence her re-election, said a new Cabinet would give her government renewed momentum.
