| Thousands march against Arroyo http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...ic/4677759.stm Quote:
Around 30,000 people have marched in the Philippines capital Manila, calling on President Gloria Arroyo to quit.
It was the biggest demonstration against Mrs Arroyo since she started facing calls to resign over allegations of vote-rigging in 2004 elections.
The size of the protest was an important gauge of public opinion, but it failed to attract the numbers the organisers had hoped for.
One left-wing politician called it "a preview for a bigger storm".
| The question is, will she go? It would appear not, at the moment, given she's asked her cabinet to resign and indignantly denied anything to do with it right until confronted with the tapes....
