Philippines approves poll fraud charges vs Arroyo (AP)

MANILA, Philippines ? The Philippine election commission has approved poll fraud charges against former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in a move that could justify the government's refusal to allow her to travel abroad.

Commissioner Armando Velasco says the formal charges could be filed in court later Friday, days after Arroyo was stopped at Manila airport because she was still under investigation.

She complained to the Supreme Court that her rights are being violated and secured a temporary clearance to travel. But the government still refused to let her go, with officials saying she may not return.

The charges stem from allegations that Arroyo conspired to tamper with results of 2007 congressional polls.

She denies any wrongdoing.
