Philippine cabinet resigns to strengthen government
The Associated Press
MANILA, Philippines — The Cabinet resigned yesterday under pressure from pro-business members seeking reorganization and stronger leadership after the coup attempt last month.
President Corazon Aquino was grim-faced after an emergency Cabinet meeting. She gave no indication of which resignations would be accepted or when she would announce a new government, and she snapped at reporters: "You will know!"
Presidential spokesman Teodoro Benigno said the 25 Cabinet members and three officials of the Commission on Good Government handed in hurriedly written letters of resignation during the 15-minute emergency meeting.
Among those resigning was Joker Arroyo, Aquino's executive secretary and closest adviser. Senior military officers, congressmen, prominent businessmen and church groups had sought his dismissal since the coup attempt by mutinous soldiers Aug. 28.
Officials said the pressure for resignations began after Arroyo alleged Tuesday in testimony before the House of Representatives that business leaders were undermining the government.
Arroyo's remarks also included accusations of disloyalty by the military. His three-hour speech brought into the open bitter Cabinet divisions and distrust between civilian authorities and the military.
In Washington, presidential spokesman Marin Fitzwater told
reporters: "We support Cory Aquino personally in her attempt to strengthen that government and to establish a rule of law and as much normalcy as possible in the existing circumstances."
It was the second mass resignation since Aquino came to power on Feb. 26, 1986, when former President Ferdinand M. Marcos fled the country.
Most ministers were retained in that reorganization, after a coup attempt Nov. 23 by followers of Ben Aziz and Ponce Enrile, but Enrile was fired.
Conflicts have increased since the Aug. 28 uprising because of the government's apparent inability to detect the threat of an increased number of military units that either joined the revolt or refused to help put it down.
Lawyers OK Bork nomination
Dissenting votes not enough to deny him highest rating
WASHINGTON — An American Bar Association committee, apparently with some dissenting votes, said yesterday that Robert H. Bork was "well qualified" to be on the Supreme Court, the ABA's highest rating for a prospective justice.
From The Associated Press.
The lawyers' organization has three rating categories in reviewing high court nominees: well qualified, not opposed and not qualified.
Sources familiar with the committee action, asking not to be identified, said there were some panel members who voted "not opposed" or "not qualified." There was no immediate explanation of why the dissenters had reservations about Bork.
The Associated Press
An administration official, who requested anonymity, said the vote by the 15-member ABA Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary was not unanimous. The ABA declined to disclose the vote.
The ABA unanimously gave Bork its highest rating, "exceptionally well qualified," in recommending in
1982 that the Senate confirm him to be a federal appeals court judge
The rating of "exceptionally well qualified" is not used by the ABA.
The Senate Judiciary Committee begins hearings on Bork's nomination next Tuesday.
Presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater, meanwhile, described Bork's life as "an open book" but acknowledged that a White House booklet touting his qualifications for the Supreme Court told only part of the story.
Singles now older, report says
WASHINGTON — The percentage of Americans in their early 30s who have never married has more than doubled since 1970, increasing the prospects that a growing minority will stay single all their lives, the Census Bureau reported yesterday.
The Associated Press
Among men between the ages of 30 and 34, those who had never married totaled 23.1 percent, according to estimates made last March. That was up from 9.4 percent in a 1970 Census Bureau report.
Among women in the 30-34 age group, 14.6 percent had never been married, according to the 1987 survey, compared with 6.2 percent in 1970.
In other age groups, 61 percent of women aged 20 to 24 had not married in 1987, compared with 36 percent in 1970. For women aged 25 to 29, the figure was 29 percent in 1987 against 11 percent in 1970.
For men, 61 percent aged 20 to 24 had not married, compared with 36 percent in 1970. Among men in the 25-29 age group, 42 percent were not married, compared with 19 percent in 1970.
"The percentage that remains single throughout their lifetime is likely to be higher than in the past in view of the increases in never-marrieds among today's young adults," the report said. "The vast majority, however, eventually are likely to marry."
