From rock stars to traitors: Budget Secretary Florencio Abad once - TopicsExpress



          

From rock stars to traitors: Budget Secretary Florencio Abad once used this to describe how they were regarded after he and several Cabinet members resigned en masse from the Arroyo administration over corruption issues. They were called the “Hyatt 10” because 10 of them in the Arroyo Cabinet announced their resignation at the Hyatt Hotel in Pasay City in 2005. A day before their resignation, then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo announced a major Cabinet revamp, apparently in a preemptive move since she had already been informed of their plan by then Vice President Noli de Castro. De Castro would have replaced Arroyo if moves to oust her had succeeded, according to reports. The “Samar” group was called such because of its headquarters on Samar Avenue also in Quezon City.
