Philippine president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has weathered another impeachment case against her, the fourth such case in as many years. The Philippine house of representatives voted 42-8 to rule the complaint was insufficient in substance. But critics say it was a simple play of numbers, with Arroyo loyalists controlling the lower house.

In 2007, members of the congress received cash gifts of 300,000 to 500,00 Philippines pesos after a previous impeachment case was junked in October that year.
