A Filipino labor group, angry that the Philippine president doesn't plan to meet with migrant workers during her whirlwind one-day trip to Hong Kong today, said it is planning a protest when the leader arrives.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is scheduled to meet business leaders and officials as she tries to drum up investment for her country during her Hong Kong visit.
The trip comes amid a political storm back home, with opponents accusing her family of pocketing huge illegal gambling payoffs. They're also alleging that she rigged last year's election.
