Arroyo impeachment move 'likely'

Philippine President Gloria Arroyo's admission she allowed the signing of the us$329-million broadband deal with a Chinese firm despite knowing it was attended by corruption is a basis for filing another impeachment complaint against her, Senate President Manuel Villar said Sunday.
"If she signed it, then it's a ground for impeachment. That is wrong. Graft is an impeachable crime," said Villar, who was the Speaker who transmitted to the Senate the articles of impeachment against then President Joseph Estrada on Nov 13, 2000, for trial.
