MANILA, Philippines (AP) _ A third of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's Cabinet quit Friday and urged the Philippine leader to step down, saying she has been crippled by an election scandal and has lost the ability to lead.God help us all.
It was the latest blow to Arroyo, embroiled in accusations that she talked to an election official about ensuring a million-vote victory in last year's presidential vote.
The backbone of Arroyo's economic team _ her economic, trade and budget secretaries _ were among the eight government ministers and two other members of her Cabinet who abandoned her.
