Cash politics dog Philippines poll
Posted on February 21st, 2010 by admin
Critics of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, the Philippine president, have stepped up claims that she has been cashing in on her position, to add to her growing personal wealth.
But Arroyo says she has been falsely accused, and there is no proof she has been plundering state funds.
The accusations come ahead of May’s presidential elections, in which a former president – once convicted of plunder himself – is running for office.
