Arroyo announces poll fraud probe

Philippine President Gloria Arroyo has announced the formation of a
truth commission to investigate the charges of vote-rigging made
against her.

She has faced increasing pressure to quit since admitting in June
that she phoned an election official during the count for the 2004
presidential poll.

But Mrs Arroyo denies any wrong-doing, and has refused to stand down.

In an open letter to senior Catholic bishops, she said the commission
was needed to restore public trust.

On edit: The article suggests that she is out of options.
