Philippines' president urged to resign
De La Salle University, an upscale Catholic school with nearly 100,000 students nationwide, was the first important institution to add its voice to the clamour for Arroyo’s resignation that has been mainly pushed so far by the opposition, a cluster of ex-generals and left-wing groups.
“We pray her to voluntarily relinquish power so that a constitutional process of succession may proceed,” the university said.
