Arroyo says won't resign, to appoint new cabinet

MANILA (Reuters) - Embattled Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said on Friday she will not resign and would appoint a new cabinet in the next few days "to get our economy moving".

Arroyo is facing mounting calls to quit over allegations she tried to influence the vote counting in last year's presidential election and that members of her family took kickbacks from illegal gambling.
