MANILA, June 28 (Xinhuanet) -- Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has made it clear that there will be no cabinet revamp after she takes her oath of office as the President-elect on June 30.

    There is no immediate need for "a complete break," as she is still the same President, a presidential palace statement Monday quoted Arroyo as saying.

    "It doesn't have to be a clean break. It's building up from what we did in the past," she said.

    Arroyo specifically cited the case of Trade and Industry Secretary Cesar Purisima who resigned from the chairmanship of theSycip, Gorres and Velasco & Co. and accepted the secretary position in the last months of her administration.

    "That was a big sign of confidence in my administration and at my chances of winning the elections," Arroyo said.

    Saying it will be a "carry over" cabinet, Arroyo said what is important is "what can be done" rather than "who will do it."

    She said she has a cabinet that will "carry out" the good accomplishments from the previous administration where she was also the President.

    Likewise, Arroyo said the government is prepared to collaborate with business groups to build evidence against grafters and prosecute them.

    Arroyo said she welcomes the active involvement of the business sector in the fight against graft and corruption.

    "We will not allow fleecing by bureaucrats but we also ask business persons not to offer bribes," Arroyo said.

    Earlier reports said businessmen are aghast with the corruptionin the bureaucracy and they are ready to chip in three percent of their income to put up an anti-corruption fund.

    Two out of three businessmen in capital Metro Manila, and in the cities of Cebu in the central Philippines and Davao in the south said they are willing to contribute three percent of their net income to put up an anti-corruption fund, according to the Social Weather Stations survey on businessmen from November last year to January this year.

    Sixty-eight percent of the 700 polled said they had been asked for a bribe in connection with taxes and licenses but only seven percent reported the incident to authorities. Enditem
