Hyatt 10
The term "Hyatt 10" refers to a group of seven secretaries of the Cabinet and three heads of government agencies in the Philippines who resigned their posts on July 8, 2005, as a result of the Hello Garci scandal, which allegedly implicated then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in rigging the 2004 general election in her favor.
The name "Hyatt 10" was coined because the press conference where the concerned officials announced their resignation was held at the then-Hyatt Regency Hotel (now Midas Hotel) in Pasay. Members of the group were appointed in the government of President Benigno Aquino III, Arroyo's successor, with some returning to their previous portfolios.
