From Washington Post’s Reliable Source gossip column

Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s visit to the White House on July 30 didn’t draw much attention, and her dinner in Washington that night got nary a mention. And that’s how it might have stayed — if not for a controversial meal in New York City.
Arroyo is under fire in her native country for a $20,000 meal at Manhattan’s Le Cirque on Aug. 2, which included caviar and several bottles of champagne. The dinner, first reported in the New York Post, has Arroyo’s critics comparing her to the extravagant Imelda Marcos.
The Reliable Source has learned that three days earlier, Arroyo and an entourage of about 65 people (including security and food tasters) had dinner at Bobby Van’s Steakhouse on 15th Street NW hours after she met with President Obama. The group took over one of the restaurant’s private rooms and dined on lobster, steak and fine wines; at the conclusion of the meal, an unidentified woman opened a handbag stuffed with cash, counted out bills and paid the $15,000 tab — which included a generous tip.
The Philippine Embassy did not return calls for comment Tuesday.

Why are these information coming out in US newspapers gossip columns?
Why didn’t the Filipino reporters who covered GMA’s visit not write about this? Di ba may mga Philippine reporters na nag-cover sa visit na ito?
I read in the Inquirer, Gil Cabacungan. I saw in one photo Rey Langit, a broadcaster.
Tae mo Gloria Dapang Suso umaalingasaw sa baho. Kahit pala kumain ka ng pagkamahal mahal, pag tumae ay mabaho pa rin. Palusot pa libre kuno ni tongresman. Mamamatay ka rin Gloria. . . . May tip pa ang kapal ng mga pagmumukha mga kawatan naman, samantalang ang daming nagugutom na mga Pilipino.

Gabriela…bayad! Those who joined with gloria…syiempre, nakapiring at nabusalan na ng $ ang kanilang mga mata at mouth.
Puro sila kahihiyan, buti pa ang foreign press concerned kung ano ang nangyayari sa ating bansa…but those concerned mediamen…mga balingbing, magaling lang magpapogi point.
Kakapal ng inyong muks, manhid sa katotohanan.
The bigger question is: what justifies this large number of people joining this trip? Who attended this trip and why were they all there? It was only a handful who met with Obama. In the future, the numbers should not be this bloated and the people who are joining these junkets published. I wonder is there any statistics on how many days a public official is out of the country instead of being at home working and dealing with their constituents?
“At the conclusion of the meal, an unidentified woman opened a handbag stuffed with cash, counted out bills and paid the $15,000 tab — which included a generous tip.”
It must be Medy Poblador.
Ang laking kahihiyan na talaga ang binibigay nitong si Arroyo sa bansang Pilipinas.
Who is this unidentified woman? Guess who? Medy Poblador? Gloria Arroyo and her glutton sabits have to pay in cash, not in credit cards to avoid traceability. Baka ang palusot ni Remonde ay si State Secy. Hillary Clinton ang taya dahil bisita sila ng Estados Unidos.
Gloria is a shame to our country…
KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL! KAPAL NI GLORIA ARROYO!!!
Please read the article by Manolo L. Quezon III on the timeline of the glutton’s trip in the US!

May kasunod pa yan. Yung sa Bouley’s at Wolfgang’s nung August 2. Paisa-isa lang ang labas para mataranta ang mga daga, maglulundagan na yan sa dagat at magpapakalunod.
Nandoon sa link ni Melia Rey ang kumpletong detalye. Trinabaho talaga ni Manolo.
Ayaw patalo ng New York Post kaya inilabas din nila sa Page Six : http://www.nypost.com/seven/08122009/gossip/pagesix/philippine_feast_frenzy__part_2_184150.htm
oh, sino namang tongressman ang ipalulusot nilang nanlibre sa kanila? Remonde, dali! gawa na agad ng script!
USD15,000 x Php47.87263 per USD = Php718,089.45
Kaya pala nagkukumahog ag mga tarantadong sumama sa business trip, dinner pa lang!susmaryosep!
Alam niyo na ngayon kung bakit may dalang Euros si Gen. dela Paz. May bubunutin sila pag sila’y maghahapi-hapi. Waaahhhhh .. huhuhuhu.
Ang pagkaka-iba lang ay State visit yong kila Arroyo na kahit magkano ang dalang salapi oks lang … sa mga Euro Generals puro palusot lang … e hindi lumusot.
Kapal talaga itong mga Arroyo na ito. Akala nila kanila na ang Pilipinas. Ano kaya kung huwag na lang tayo magbayad ng tax para wala na silang lulustayin? Civil disobedience na talaga ang kailangan. Sobra na ang mga taong ito …. dapat husgahan na at NOW NA!!!! Di ba Grizzy?????
Putsang macapagal yan, buhay pa ba tatay nyan?
Siguro kahit tatay nyan, hindi masisikmura yang pinagagawa nyang peste anak nya!
Mga walang malasakit talga ang mga walanghiya, halos nagluluksa taong bayan dahil sa kalagayan tita Cory nung panahong yon, tapos sila halos nagpipyesta!
This is clearly taxpayer’s money since this was being disbursed by a the bag lady who is is the staff for GMA. Ngayon Sanamagan, wala ka ng palusot. If you are really true to your words, you would be condemning this.
Tongue, please check e-mail.
Sino naman kaya ang nagbayad sa nilamon nila sa Washinton … a palagay ko sasabihin na naman nitong si Mr. Bopol(Remonde) na si Obama ang nagbayad niyan. Akala mo kung sinong mayaman ang ating Bansa na kung gumastos ang mga nasa poder ganun na lang. Tamaan sana kayo ng kidlat mga ungas kayo!!!!!
Ungas din itong Martin Romualdez ano … tahimik na sana at makakalimutan na kung gaano kumita ng pera ang pamilyang ito noong panahon ni Marcos. Ngayon uma-alingasaw na naman ang baho ng pamilyang ito.
Bakit tila sa America mismo’y inilalaglag na si pwèsidente Gloria? Si tyóng Obama nga kayà’y may order nang ”Cut and cut cleanly”? Hhmmm. 😥 😕
Manang, I cannot make the connection between the money being taxpayers money just because it was in cash. The money may have been drawn from a personal account.
I really wanna believe you. But prudence dictates that I need unassailable evidence before making a conclusion.
What if you were on the receiving end of accusations that you know to be false? – Treat others as you want to be treated.

I really wanna believe you. But prudence dictates that I need unassailable evidence before making a conclusion – to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt – after all isn’t that what justice is all about? We can’t speak from a high ground when we are acting like brutes in the low ground.

Siguro the Secret Service escorting the First Couple and their alalays were scandalized by the exravagance and feed the informations to the papers. Buti nga.
“sobrang kapangyarihan , sobrang kayamanan
sobrang katakawan …
ilan sa mga mamamayan ang nagsisigawan …
MGA GANID! MGA GANID! “
Kung may audit ang COA, excessive and extravagant iyan, kaya dapat disallowed, at kaya pa ay dapat bayaran o ibalik nila ang sa gobyerno ang mga nagastos. Para madali, bawiin lahat ng mga illgotten wealth ng mga Arroyos at ng kanilang mga alipores. The next govt should have this as its priority.
Just a reminder to Gloria’s deputies for lying to save her skin: If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. (Prov. 29:12)
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” (Prov. 29:2)
Only Gloria Arroyo, her family, and Philippine government officials favored by her can spend these much in the US and elsewhere!
For food alone for two dinners, they spent $35,000 (close to PhP1.7M). What more of the other luncheons and dinners they had in that 5-day unproductive junket!
Who in the Philippine government is taking tab of these expenses? What about their hotel accommodation at very expensive places such as Willard Intercontinental Washington and Waldorf Astoria New York.
At Willard Hotel, rates vary from $ 359.00 (1 King Bed Superior) to $4,150.00 (1 King Bed Washington Suite) per night. (Source:http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/intercontinental/en/gb/reservations/room-selection/washingtondc-thewillard).
At the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, room rates per night range from $259 (deluxe) to $649 (suite). However, the Waldorf-Astoria Tower Rooms can go as high as $4,100.
(Source:http://www.waldorfnewyork.com/towers-accommodations/).
They may have spent $ 30,000-40,000 for hotel accommodation? I wonder.
It is really very easy to spend money if one does not work hard for it! Shameless people!
The two dinners totaled $35,000. How about the other meals (breakfasts, lunches and dinners) paid with taxpayers’ money?
At least, they are now being exposed by the western media. The creep in fact has been doing this kind of abuses from day one she entered politics and even before that, no doubt, and more so after she grabbed power.
Perl at DKG,
At paano kaya ito malulusotan ni remonde ? Isang babae pala ang nagbayad. Baka asawa ni romualdez…he he he.
Nope, di magagalit ang ama niyan. Kunsintidor nga e kasi ganoon din siya noong presidente siya ng Pilipinas. Nagbigay nga ng pera sa Madagascar ng inutang in the name of the Filipino people na noon ay nagugutom at dapat iniintindi at di iyong nagyabang pa na akala mo mayaman ang Pilipinas. Tuwang-tuwa nga ang mokong na ipinagmalaking siya ang unang presidente ng Pilipinas na nakarating sa Africa during his term. O loko, di hindi siya na-reelect. Clicker nga noon para kay Dadon Macapagal, “Alis Diyan!”
Iyong anak, kailang ba papaalisin, ha?
Malinaw si Medy Perencia ang nagbayad. Di ba siya iyong tinatawag na bag-lady na palaging may dalang paper bag at binabayaran iyong mga sinusuhulan ng mga Pidal?
Pero sabi daw ni Unano, puro tsismis lang daw! O bakit di niya kasuhan ng slander iyong mga journalists na kano kung hindi totoo ang sinulat nila? Kwidaw siya, baka di lang sipa ang abutin niya! This time, pihado di na siya ililipad ng mga kano sa Tate. Pababayaan na siyang hilahin sa buhok ng mga kababayan niya at isabit sa poste malapit sa Malacanang. Pauuwiin pa muna daw iyong matabang mama, para naman i-lechon at ipakain doon sa mga kasama nilang matatakaw!
That will be the day, ika nga!
It is now time to run after the reporters who went with the arroyo visit in Washington!
MAGSALITA KA NAMAN, REY LANGIT!!!!!
Magsabi ka kahit kaunting katotohanan lang sa mga dinner expenses…..o baka naman BAYAD NA RIN ANG BUNGANGA MO?
Pabalot na lang ng sang order na pansit…. Lito Lapid.
sigurado ako yung members ng media na kasama ni pandak, nalagyan na, kasi nakinabang din. simple dinner nga lang sa le cirque!
Ninoy: The Filipino is worth dying for
Cory: The Filipino is worth living for
GMA: The Filipino is worth dining for
bilyon bilyong dolyar na ang ninakaw ni arroyo sa pinas. di nya kailangan ang pera ng iba para kumain sya sa le cirque. ang $20,000 le cirque meal ay bale wala sa magnanakaw na arroyos.
ang kailangan ni bansot ay hindi pera as a favor from others. political favor, legislative favor o judicial favor ang kailangan ng pidal mafia at hindi monetary favor na worth $20,000 lang para makakain sa le cirque.
Why are these news coming up in the US media these days? It’s a clear sign of the Evil Bitch’s departure. Her recent meeting with Obama was more of summon than invitation. Obama could have told her…her days are numbered.

basta kasabwat ni gloria hindi magasabi ng totoo lahat gagawin para pagtakpan si gloria katulad ni remonde,si ellen lang ako bilib sa mga reporter pag naatake ang mgayan inutil na ang mga yan,hwag tayong mawalan ng pag-asa mwawala din ang mga ganid at linta ng ating bayan.
Again, typical lame palusot, “What bag lady? Do you have proof? Puro tsismis lang yan.” Ask ngising aso Remonde.
New York Post at Washington Post ang dalawa sa pinakamalaking peryodiko sa US. Why the expose only now? I’m sure those Malacanang crooks have done it many times in the past.
Si Remonde kapag nagsasalita parang may chewing gum sa bibig.
Maitim, pangit, baduy mag English at Tagalog. I think Bunye was better than Remonde. Mas gusto ko ang style ni Bunye…mas pino kung magsinungaling.
bakit walang Pinoy reporter na nagsulat. let me share this item i read from cocktales.ph at tayo na lang ang magplus one and one.
OAKWOOD to the Filipinos is the luxury hotel in Makati’s Ayala Center that was briefly taken over by mutinous soldiers in a botched coup attempt early on in President Arroyo’s term.
But to the top management officials and editors of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the Ayala-owned hotel will forever stand for a furtive one-night stand with choice ladies of a certain trade, a night of good food, libation, little blue pills and bedroom romps funded by wads of cold cash handed out right there and then by friends of Mike Arroyo.
The affair was to celebrate the birthday of a top Inquirer columnist, who at that time was, to use an old cliché, thick as thieves with the First Gentleman.
The birthday celebration had become an annual treat to the Inquirer’s top editors, and the identities of the Oakwood baka (Tagalog for cow, and industry slang for “funder”), as well as their political affiliations, had apparently been known to the journalists-guests.
Introduced as Rotarian friends of Mike Arroyo, one of them looking like an Indian-Filipino, the three benefactors surfaced as advanced team when the President and her husband first visited the Inquirer editorial offices.
A photograph of that visit was splashed on the front page of the Inquirer the following day, the Arroyos basking in the post-Edsa II glow with the paper’s owners and editors.
Back to the Oakwood, even the hotel’s waiters could not believe their eyes at the number of the fetching young ladies seated at one side of the function room—there must have been nearly three dozen of them—while the Inquirer group at the other end, about a dozen of them, rushed their dinner to individually pick the night’s post-prandial feast.
One ravenous Inquirer official even asked for two. Another one, by happenstance, had chosen a lady from his province, who instantly recognized the Inquirer columnist, even volunteering that “It’s an honor to meet you, sir!” to the blushing journalist.
At P12,000 each for every lady, not counting the dinner, the bottles of wine and the suites, the birthday had proved to be one special treat, indeed.
dak dak tayo ng dak dak, pinagtatawanan lang tayo ng mga ungas na iyan..!! what we should do is be united and dont let our guards down, bantayan natin na hindi na sila mag tatagal diyan, we should be ready to put this people in jail soon..look at the impeachment, garci tapes, nbnzte, and the jailing of true soldiers of the filipino people, and all the silencing of the descent, like jonas burgos, the kidnapping of jun lozada, wala pong ngyari.. bilyong bilyong pera pa ang uubusin ng pidal family just to stay in power..pag di tayo nag kaisa, wala na pong mangyayari. this is the time to be united and support the real opposition that would put this people behind bars..!!
Maganda rin na tanungin ng mausisang tanong yung mga paparazzi na nakakita. Wala talagang lusot ang mga iyan.

On the contrary it does not differ with the news article that villar and escudero, both are wooing the party of the leprechaun. tsk, tsk, tsk…. i don’t know with you people, but i guess villar and escudero are the same kind with the bitch.
The trio are conning the people, what with the bitch dining in the posh resto’s in washington and new york, and i bet you that the people’s were used. with villar, who’s money is he using in bringing back the problematic pinoys back to the philippines. WHICH BY THE WAY CLAIMS THAT HE HAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES, BUT A CLOSE CHECK WITH THE DFA ALL HE HAS DONE IS USE THE DFA’S FUND IN BRINGING BACK THESE PINOY, NOT HE’S MONEY, THAT HE CLAIMS HE PAID FOR THEIR TICKETS. in case if he did where did he get those monies, from the people’s purse, who incidentally, from sources calimed he is bankcrupt, if TRUE. BULSHITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!
with escudero, too young to become a trapo, at his young polical years he is fast gaining a trapo. making a backdoor negotiation with the party of the bitch, is worse that using the taxpayer’s money and, maybe, later on will protect the bitch after june 2010.

Sa US pa lang ito hah! Eh yung mga paulit-ulit na punta nila sa Europe? Mas mahal dun kesa sa US. Euros yan! Wala ba tayong mga makabansang OFWs na pewedeng magsiwalat ng mga “eating sprees” ng mga buwaya sa Europe? In the Middle East, siguro yung mga stay nila sa 7 star hotel eh mas mahal na naman. Wala nga lang naglalakas loob na lumabas para magsiwalat ng mga luxurious dinners and hotel stay ng mga magnanakaw. I am pretty sure that a lot of the accounting staff of most of these big hotels and known restaurants are manned by OFWs. I hope they do their duties to expose the extravagance of this bitch who is acting like she owns the Philippine treasury!
Takot kasing di na makasama ng libre. Bawat isa sa tongressman pihado may kabit na pseudo-journalist. Baka meron pa ngang di na pinauwi sa Pilipinas at mag-t-tnt na sa Tate.
Dating gawain na ng mga lintik iyan sa totoo lang. Kaya bakit sila iimik?
it is a clear scenario of money laundering—bringing dollars, euros outside the Philippines via diplomatic immunity then coming back with bills for reimbursement and being paid back in pesos. I am not well-versed in these things but then that’s how I and my husband have surmised how these officials do it. A neighbor of ours who is in the know as to how infrastructures are wheeled and dealed just call them Mafioso(s).
PSB:
Matagal ko nang sinasabi iyan doon sa mga kaibigan ko sa Philippine media dahil may mga tip din ako natatanggap sa mga gastos nila sa Japan kapag pumupunta dito ang mga Pidal at nagdedenggoy di lang mga hapon kundi pati na mga kababayan nila. Walang gustong sumulat. Iyong mga hapon naman interesado sila doon sa ibinebentang Philippine patrimonies na galing din sa kanila.
Sa Tate, interesado iyong mga kano kasi pera din nila ang nakasalalay sa mga kabulastugan ni Gloria Dorobo. Ngayon isinulat na nila si Dorobo, the more concerned media in the Philippines should take on this issue.
Come to think of it, but it took 4 or 5 years since the western media wrote about Imelda’s extravagance before Marcos was toppled down. I hope it will take shorter time to do the same to Gloria Dorobo.
Before Le Cirque, GMA splurged on $15K DC steaks—NY Post
…….Romulo Macalintal, legal counsel of Arroyo, fired back at the lawmakers and the media yesterday for constantly venting so much negativity on what could have been a simple matter instead of focusing their much needed awareness on other issues particularly that of the presidential aspirants’ early campaigns……..
……Meanwhile, Speaker Prospero Nograles called on the public to finally put an end to the controversial dinner in New York City and instead focus on the gains that the government achieved during Arroyo’s meeting with US President Barack Obama.
Rather than devoting too much attention to the dinner which had been adequately explained by Malacanang, Nograles said it is only proper for the critics and public to also listen to the good gains generated from the trip…..

Wow, sumabat na naman iyong Nognograles! Isa pang insensitive na kurakot iyan.
Tangnanay nila, nilulustay nila ang pera ng bayan sa mga kapritso nila, tapos iyong magrerehistro ng mga OFW para makaboto sila di magastusan. Budget nga daw sa pagrerehitro bawat bansa 1,000 dollars lang daw. Tangnanay nila, pamasahe lang papunta sa Sapporo halimbawa ng mga magrerehistro sa mga pilipino doon kulang ang 1,000 dollars. Pero pag pagkain noong mga ganid, kahit milyon uubusin sa mga animal.
Kailangan nang batuhin si Nognograles, et al ng tae at bulok na itlog. Puede ba, gawin na!
tama ang obserbasyon ni dodong sa comment #44. bakit ngayon lang nalagay yan sa u.s. newspaper (washington post and new york post are prestigous newspapers in u.s.) ang eat all you can for free courtesy of juan de la cruz nila pandak at baboy samantalang maraming beses ng nagpunta sa u.s. yan.
palagay ko ay tinitira na sila ng CIA. bakit? palagay ko naniniwala ang u.s. na mag de deklara ng martial law o babaguhin ang constitution ng pidal mafia. syempre hinanda na rin ng u.s. kung sino ang susuportahan nila na papalit kay pandak. palagay ko marami pang darating na mga leaks galing sa u.s. at europe. maaring palabasin na rin ng CIA ang mga bank accounts at properties ni pandak at baboy sa u.s at europe o money laundering activities ni pandak at baboy sa u.s. at europe.
itong mga leaks sa washington post at new york post sa pagkain nila pandak at baboy ay appetizer pa lang yan.

Maybe, GMA and company were just sicked & bored of millionth comments of the Filipinos, thus they just sipped & ate $20,000 worth food stuffs. Ok, fine.
But Filipinos are more sick & bored with their lies!
Thousands of us wanted to see a clear picture regarding the controversial dinner. But those bastards are just like push carts…pushing, pushing & pushing away, defending themselves.
Ang sabi ng Malacañang, sagot raw ni Leyte Congressman Ferdinand Martin Romualdez at personal na pera niya ang binayad sa $$$$$ dinner. Ngayon, tinanung si Congressman kung tutuo ba yun, eh…ang sabi nya, “Hindi ako, ang utol kong si Daniel Romualdez ang nagbabayad non!”
Si Leyte Congressman Ferdinand Martin ay parang makakita ng multo kapag may mga reports o press na umi-interview sa kanya with regards to the issue!
GMA administration sucks!

MAGSALITA KA NAMAN, REY LANGIT!!!!!
Riverman, BAYAD…kaya itong si Rey sumaLANGIT nawa e may busal sa mouth?
Sa totoo lang, pinagkakakitaan yan ng some media practitioners…di ba kaila na identified ang iba sa kanila na PISO-PISO ang dating ng kanilang balita.
Look, bakit ngayon lang nag-iingay ang PCIJ…wala na bang tongpats sa rehimeng arroyo? Di ba ang ingay nila noong si Erap pa ang nasa Malacanang…morethan 9-years tikom ang mouth kasi nga po sila yong pasinumo sa paghalukay ng buhay ni Pres. Erap?
Di nila tinantanan ang pobre till na maagaw ang Malacanang, pero ngayon magmamapuri na naman…wala na sigurong supply na datung sa rehime kaya nag-iingay na naman although may substance ang issue pero bokya na sila na galamay sila ng rehime.
E ang mga reporters na kasama ng rehime ay mga PAPACOY, buti pa sa Tate mayroong nagkalat na paparazzi…kundi sa kanila e napaglalangan uli tayo ni gloria?
Wow, sumabat na naman iyong Nognograles! Isa pang insensitive na kurakot iyan.?
Igan Grizzy, di ito tsismis ha…napanood ko sa TV Patrol kagabi, “BADING” daw si Nognograles, sang-ayon kay Brillantes?
Sa hilatsa ng pangmumukha e PAPA din yan eh, kita mo kung maghamon akala mo TUNAY…ang isa kasing machong Pinoy di na naghahamon, kundi upak agad e itong si Nognograles ang ingay ng mouth.
Ayos ang mga taga-Ladlad party, mayroon na silang tongresman at bigtime…speaker pa. Bwahahahaha…..!
itong mga leaks sa washington post at new york post sa pagkain nila pandak at baboy ay appetizer pa lang yan?
Korek Bananas, aba naman e nasaan yong morethan 2.4 trilyon pesos na nautang ng rehimeng arroyo? Breaking the record, bakit ka mo…kasi ganito yon, 20-Years (Macoy) + 6years (Tita Cory) + 6years (Tabako) + morethan 2years (Pres.Erap) = around 2trilyon pesos ang utang ng Pinas against 9years pa lang ni gloria?
Sa simpleng arithmitic, M+C+T+E NOT EQUAL to A = who’s the kurap and liar?
Ano ba ang naging projects ni Arroyo? Dapat malaman yan ng taong Bayan, sige nga?
Ang LRT, MRT, NLEX, SLEX, Macapagal Blvd, C5, etc. etc. e projects yan ng previous presidents? Ang alam ko na project niya e yong tadtad ng anomalya tulad ng ZTE scam, Fertilizers Fund scam, DECS noodle scam, CEBU lamp post scam, many more e ginastusan yan ng milyones pero yong nabokya naman e naging scandal.
Yan si gloria…ibang klase, say it more?
Hangang escandalo na lang ba? Dapat isakdal at ikulong habang buhay. Ombudsman tuta ni Gloria. Sobrang bagal ang kanilang imbestigastion.

So what if she spent $35,000? She brought back $1 Billion in investments. Ang ganda ng spin.
http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/214034/cocacola-set-invest-1-b-rp-expansion
But if you read carefully, the $590 Million had been plunked down in 2007 when Coca Cola International bought back its Philippine shares from San Miguel. And they bought back their plant for $100 Million years earlier. So that is 690 Million already put down, years ago.
The balance, will be put in over the next five years. This is part of business expansion, since the population of the Philippines is growing.
You think the Coke guys suddenly had an epiphany just because she went to the US? The long-term plan was already there, that is why they bought back from San Miguel years ago.
Besides, the $690 Million was to buy back shares, and the plant. That is existing investment, changing hands from San Miguel to Coke. That is not new investment, or new productive capacity.

Tangnanay na pandak and company, ang sasarap ng kinakain samantalang ang majority ng mga pilipino halos magpaalipin para lang makakain. Iyong iba pa nga, basura na ang kinakain!
Napapaiyak na lang iyong nanay ko pag nakikita daw niya iyong mga kumakain ng pagpag sa TV. Di daw nila naranasan ang ganoon kahit noong kahigpitan noong WWII lalo na noong malapit nang matapos ang giyera at halos wala na raw mabili sa Manila.

salamat kaibigang afftexas sa listahan mo….
tandaan po natin ang mga pangalan ng mga damuho at sana sa nagkakaisang boto natin ay di na sila makabalik sa kanilang mga puwesto at yung mga tatakbo ay di makalusot sa 2010 election…
matuto na po tayo…na trapos ang pahirap sa ating bansa, manaig sana ang higit na matuwid at totoong mga lider na may malasakit at pagmamahal sa bayan, karamihan diyan sa mga trapos ay galing din sa wala at ordinaryong juan dela cruz bago naging hybrid na buwaya at certified multi-millionaire dahil sa nilamon ng sistema at naging ganid sa pera at kapangyarihan.
nakakatuwa talaga ang malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration,sabit-sabit na sa pagsisinungaling at kung sinu-sino ang tinuturong nagbayad sa kanilang luho…’tong bugok naman na tongresman suarez,noong una di niya alam sino nagbayad tapos ngayon umamin na rin…and may balita ding report din na ang consulate at embassy ang gumastos, sabay turuan din ang mga tongresmen na libre din sila at di nila alam sino nagbayad….mga sinungaling talaga!
at heto naman si atty. macaLINTAl nawala na bilib ko sa mamang ‘to, masyadong malaki yata ang naging pakinabang kaya ganun na lang halos awayin ang lahat ng media..sana banatan din ng media ang hambog na abogago este abogadong ‘to na magaling maglihis ng isyu at mga palusot na ginagamit ang butas sa batas para madepensahan ng todo-todo ang mga among sina queen gloria at kingpin pidal…
mga damuho talaga,takipan ng takipan kahit bistado na…
NO TO TRAPOS 2010!
Sa pinadalang listahan ng Filipina from Texas na mga kasama ni evil bitch sa Amerika ay ang pangalan ni Merceditas Gutierrez na siyang Ombudsman ng Pilipinas. Talagang walang delicadeza.Kung sabagay talaga namang halata na tuta siya ng mga Arroyo.
Sangayon ako kay Gabriela at Mumbaki na malaking kahihiyan ang idinudulot ni evil bitch sa mga Pilipino at sa ating bayan kaya huwag umalma ang palasyo kung makikita sa TV ang mga birong masakit tungkol sa mag-asawang makapal ang mukha.Sa paggamit nila kay Ferinand Martin Romualdez ay nabuhay uli ang kahihiyang binigay ni Imelda Romualdez Marcos noon. Pinaggigiitan pa nila na kaya ni Romualdez magbayad ng ganoong kalaki. Bakit hindi tanungin ang kanyang amana si Alfredo “Bejo” Romualdez kung totoo na ilang kahon ng pera na galing sa Cental Bank ang sinakay niya sa kanyang yate ng tumakas sa Pilipinas noong Edsa revolution patungong Palau. May iniwan pa nga raw na ilang kahon sa dating presidential legal adviser ni evil bitch na nooy isang fiscal sa Tacloban pero ang mga ito ay kinamkam na niya.
Salamat kay saxnviolins sa magandang paliwanag tungkol sa Coca Cola investments. Itong ganitong klaseng panloloko sa mga Filipino ay dati ng gawi ni evil bitch at ng kanyang mga alepores. Akala kasi nila bobo tayong lahat.
Sa hindi nakakaintindi ng tama o mali bahala na ang kaluluwa ninyo ang managot. Sana makinig kayo sa pinadalang paalala ni grizzy. Magbasa kayo ng Bibliya dahil magaganda ang mga aral at mga babala dito tulad ng Proverbs 29:12.
Based po lahat sa documented sources ang mga nasa listahan na sumama sa entourage, as in the case of Merceditas Gutierrez “…Also in the party were Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr., Solicitor General Agnes Devanadera, Labor Secretary Marianito Roque, Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez and Chair Bayani Fernando of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority…” Source: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20090730-217863/Protests-dog-Arroyos-US-trip
Including Prospero Nograles, which I failed to include, the total number of “documented” entourage is 45 persons. If we also compute their hotel accommodation, then their expenses would run into staggering figures! According to the Daily Tribune “…The source also disclosed that the Arroyo couple stayed at the Waldorf in a suite, costing $3,500 (P168, 210) a day while the congressmen and others in her party stayed in rooms costing $950 (P45, 657) a day. Moreover, 60 rooms were reportedly occupied by the Arroyo party at the Waldorf in New York. (http://www.tribune.net.ph/headlines/20090814hed1.html)
However, before going to New York, the group also stayed at Willard Intercontinental Washington; room rates at the Willard range from $359.00 (deluxe) to $4,150 (Washington Suite).
On a conservative estimate of $500.00/room x 60 rooms x 5 nights= $150,000.00 or PhP7.2M!!!
I cannot imagine such ostentatious display of wealth! It astounds the mind that while million of Filipinos are hungry and live in dire poverty, a select few of gluttons are dining, wining, and living the good life with shameless abandon.
kuyating, thanks for the link showing the gross photo of the fake-breasted fake president!!!
kinilabutan ako, parang dila nga ng ahas ang nakita ko. at nangimi pa siyang hawakan ang host? pambihira, nasira ang umaga ko hahahha
It’s as simple as this… as big as the tab, they paid cash??? You know for a fact that they are trying to avoid paper trails… who brings that much cash??? You see the intention to hide it is very obvious. Doesn’t anyone at all in their company have credit card??? And the fact that this revelation wasn’t discovered or reported by a filipino??? Hmmm…
Look at it this way, any amount in excess of $10,000 whether leaving the Philippines, entering the US, or simply withdrawn from any bank in both countries, triggers an automatic flagging of the transaction by the Anti-Money Laundering Council here or its equivalent agency in the US. But since the RP party was officially invited, I’m sure they were given diplomatic status hence, even if the actual counting and payment was witnessed by the State Dept. escorts, they cannot do anything about it. Yet.
Le Cirque may have been paid with credit card and that can be verified. (I doubt the claim though that it was Daniel Romualdez who paid it because he wasn’t even at the dinner he was supposedly hosting. Stupid, no?) But it was confirmed that the $15,000 dinner in Bobby Van’s was paid in cash.
If they had been paying those lavish lunches and dinners with cash in the whole duration of the trip, how did they get hold of such huge cash? Was it tongpats they had just collected from some party in the US? Were they stashing dollar bills in any of those properties the Arroyos own in California and elsewhere? Or do they have dummies fronting for them in US banks such that large withdrawals cannot be detected by AMLC software to them?
Especially in New York, DC, Chicago, Texas, California or any of the rich States, it isn’t “normal” to carry around such huge currency, maybe the syndicates do, but visiting government officials?
Unless of course the visitors are the syndicates.
Point is bakit walang nag-iimbestiga doon sa ethics committee daw ng Senate at Congress ng Pilipinas. Mga tamad talaga! O dilang tanga?
Sa lahat na naging Presidente ng Pilipinas, etong si Gloria lang ang may pinakamaraming spokespersons. Aside from Remonde, she has Golez, Fajardo, Ermita and now even Atty. Macalintal. Ang style nila ay kapag napalpak ang isa, iyong isa ang papalit at kapag parehong palpak, magpapalamig muna ang dalawa at may papalit din agad.
Malapit na ang katapusan mo bogus president…pagbaba mo sa nakaw mong puwesto, kinabukasan ay susunduin ka na at ihahatid ka na sa tanay, rizal para makulong sa salang plunder, corruption, treason, election cheating, human rights abuses/violations, ill-gotten wealth, lying, betrayal of public trust, etc… bwahahaha! susunduin ka na ni satanas kasama si jose pig pidal
Kaya pala defensive si Nognograles, isa pala siya doon sa sumubasob sa Le Cirque na mga matakaw. Bilib ka sa pagkakurakot! Yuck!
Dodong:
Gusto lang ipalabas ni Gloria Daya na maraming nagmamahal sa kaniya. Ikaw na ang maging expert sa lagayan! Tindi di ba?
Grabe from 2003 to 2008 the SUROT spent over P2 Billion for her travels abroad. This according to Cong.Guingona who guested at DZMM morning program of Anthony Taberna and Gerry Baja were documented report of COA.
What a waste of precious government resources/public funds. While everyone of us pays EVAT on almost everything from foods, medicines, services, etc… itong mga SUROT AT LINTA sa gobyerno ay walang pakundangang gumasta ng mga pondong di nila pinaghirapan.
Imagine the PGH could not pay its electric and water bills because of very small budget allocations. Yon pala ang laki ng CONTINGENCY FUNDS ng Office of the President.
Cong. Guingona has exciting details of how the SUROT would manipulate budget allocations, Pls, Ellen maybe we could expound this anomalous practice of the SUROT.
Napaka-gahaman at sobrang immoral, Kulang ang dalawang parusang kamatayan para pagbayaran ang kanilang kawalanghiyaaan.
Ang titigas pa nang mga mukha kung bumanat sa mga kritiko at peryodista. Itong si Atty. Makalinta este Makalintal ay isa pang supporter ng sinungaling. Ipinapalamon nya sa psmilya galing sa magnanakaw, Ano siya ngayon. Puro legalities lagi depensa, bakit may magnanakaw bang nagpapahuli.
Huling huli na nga sa pandaraya noong 2004 election, denepensa pa, Nasilaw siguro sa pera, wala naman akong makitang ibang dahilan. NAKAKASUKA, NAKAKARIMARIM.
Sige MAKALINTA EDEPENSA mo yang bilyong bilyong ginasta ng alaga mo. Sabagay nakikinabang ka doon.
Ang laki siguro ang budget sayo ni SUROT otherwhise hindi ganon katindi ang pagtakip mo sa kanila. Mahiya ka naman, pera ng bayan pinambabayad sayo. Mga buwis at EVAT na binabayad namin ss gobyerno.
Nararapat lamang ang parusa sa kanila, ay ipahila sa kabayo hanggang Plasa Miranda at doon IBITIN NG PATIWARIK, BATUHIN, nang di na pamarisan !!!!!!!!
mga ganid sa pera at kapangyarihan ang mga damuho!
totoo ba yung balita na si usec kilayless nokor president look-alike anthony golez ay umanib na at nanumpa bilang miyembro ng npc ni danding bilang paghahanda sa planong pagtakbo sa tongreso sa negros occidental?
kaniya-kaniya na yatang escape/ exit plan ang mga damuho at uso na naman ang mga balimbing…matuto na sana tayo at huwag magpatawad at kalimutan ang kanilang kababuyan sa puwesto sa loob ng siyam na nakakakunsuming taon.
lahat ng mga damuhong malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration ay diretso sa bilibid at hard labor…para matakot ang mga politicos na gumaya sa kanilang kahibangan.
sobrang luho, sobrang yabang kung gumasta na akala mo ay kanila ang pera…mga mistulang hari at reyna sa kaharian ng mahihirap na pilipino!
NO TO TRAPOS 2010!
Ipinagmalaki ng mga kurakot iyong ipinangako daw ng mga binisita na investment sa Pilipinas kaya sila nag-celebrate paid by the Filipino taxpayers.
Susmaryosep! Di pa naman sigurado, pinagyabang na. Pero ang totoo, iyong inutang di pa rin lusot sa sinasabing mga investment.
Tangnanay ni Gloria, dinagdagan pa iyong mga inutang ng tatay niya noon bago maging presidente si Marcos na hindi naman nakaahon doon sa inutang ni Dadong.
Tama talaga si Prof. Agoncillo noon na sinabing di na makakabayad ng utang ang mga pilipino, not our generation nor any future generation of Filipinos na lalo pang dumami dahil kay Gloria Waldas.
Iyong mga ninakaw puede ba ipasauli na?
lalaki namatay dahil sa gutom tapos itong si pandak at baboy ay kumakain ng isang milyong hapunan.

texaspinay, thanks for your info. now we know who to not vote next time around. by the way, puede bang makahingi ng itlog ng teksas, matatapang daw iyan sa sabong.
Si Suarez daw ang nagbayad sa kinain nila sa Was. Di ko alam na BAKLA pala ang taong ito. Pag pala ang taong ito ay nasa labas ng Bansa ay nagbebestida. Kasi sabi doon sa balita isang babae daw ang nagbayad sa bill nila. Kung magbayad pala ang mga ito ay puro cash. Kakapal pala ang mga bulsa ng mga taong ito. Kalimitan ang bayaran dito sa America lalo na’t malaki ang babayaran ay check o credit card. Pero ang mga ito ay bibilangin pa yong pera sa harap ng waiter … wow. Dito pa lang ay bistado mo na ayaw nilang gumamit ng kung ano man na ma-trace ang kagaguhan nila.
Malinaw na money laundering ang ginagawa ng mga ungas. 500 dollars nga ang hirap nang ilabas sa Pilipinas, thousand-thousand pa. Papaano sila nakakalusot?
Here’s the Customs regulation regarding bringing money into the US, dollars and otherwise:
Time for the batugans in the Senate and Congress to check on the foreign accounts of the partners of the Pidals in crimes as listed above, including those who had accompanied the mastermind (moneylaunderers) in their previous trips.
O sinong matapang at malinis sa kanila?
You bet, si Senator Trillanes lang ang matapang at nangangati na talaga sigurong mag-imbestiga. Kaya siya ayaw palabasin ng mga unggoy!
kaibigang kabkab…cash para di ma-trace ang kagaguhan nila
tumpak,marami galamay ni gloria pag bumili ng bahay cash thru a third person na malayong kamag-anak din…
yung isang tongresman nga ng mindanao, dati ay simpleng mambabatas lamang at patanim-tanim lang ang gimik sa tongress,ngayon laki ng bahay sa may bf paranaque worth php6m,sabi ng kapitbahay cash din ang bayad pinadaan sa isang kaibigan…wala namang negosyo at meron lang maliit na farm sa kaniyang distrito, kapitbahay pa yung kabit nung isang tongresman na tumakbong senator pero natalo dahil hindi naitanim sa senado…
at kung mapapansin nyo ang mga biglang paglaki ng kanilang yaman at mga mala-palasyong mga bahay sa kabila ng lantarang kahirapan sa kani-kanilang mga distrito…
sana huwag tigilan ang pagbubunyag sa mga luho at kalabisan ni queen gloria at isama na ring ibulgar ang mga yaman ng mga aliores lalo na yung mga yes mam/yes sir generals na karamihan ay tatakbo sa local posts…may panggastos na sa election hmmm saan kaya galing ang pera nila????
NO TO TRAPOS 2010!

tapos ngayon…galante na???? wow! kakaiba talaga!
NO TO TRAPOS 2010!
Si Danilo Suarez daw ang nagbayad sa DC.
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/08/14/09/suarez-i-normally-host-pgmas-dinners
Lying through your teeth ey? The Federal government has never collected sales tax. Sales taxes have always been collected by the States.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/26/AR2009052602909.html
The sales tax on restaurants in DC is 10%.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_States
So if you are saying that the bill only amounted to $11,000 [$15,000 – $4,000 (“Federal Tax”)], 10% of $11,000 is only $1,100.
Goes to show that you did not see the bill; because it was the woman with wads of cash in her handbag who paid.
niceone kaibigang saxnviolins…
magsisinungaling na lang palpak pa! at napilitang akuin ang nasabing “katakawan at luho sa pagkain” dahil utos ni mam
sige takipan pa,’yung dubai expose’ din sino kayang tongresman ang ididiin at papasan ng batikos…
sige huwag tigilang ibulgar ang kanilang kahibangan,di na nga alam kung paano ma-divert mga issues puro palpak ang tagapagsinungaling…sunod si lorelie naman mag-explain…grabeng kapal!
NO TO TRAPOS 2010!
FYI, I got this info from a friend who has a good friend from the Philippine Consulate in New York: GMA and her entourage stayed at the very classy Waldorf Hotel. GMA’s presidential suite costs about $3,500 a night, while the rest of the entourage stayed in the $950 per night suites. What is worse is that the consulate was made to pay for the accomodations!!!
The nerve of GMA and her cohorts to take advantage of their positions at the expense of the Filipino people!!!
I told you so. Ganyan din ang trabaho when she comes to Tokyo. Limas ang nakolekta ng Philippine Embassy. Kawawa iyong mga pilipinong sinisingil ng malaki for every paper they ask the Philippine Embassy/Consulate to release for them.
Tapos kung mayaman iyong appointee sa post, hinihingian din ng per diem ng mga tongressman para sa pangguratsa nila. Kita ko iyan nang si Yuchengco for instance ang ambassador sa Japan. Palibre pa ng bus service sa totoo lang. Sipsipan naman iyong mga staff ng embassy para mapansin at marekomenda for promotion.
Kaya tignan ninyo naman ang mga klase ng civil servants. Pambihira talaga ang may ibubuga at malasakit sa bansa nila lalo na nang umupo iyong pinaka-corrupt ng pekeng presidente ng Pilipinas.
Kawawang bansa talaga!
Laking gulat, awa at galit ang nadama ko nang nabalitaan kong may isang matandang lalaki ang namatay sa loob ng isang bus dahil sa gutom. Statistics reveal that more than 3 million Filipinos are not able to eat three meals a day. Tapos, kaya gumastos ng P1M sa isang dinner lang ang mga punetang taga Malacanang!
If they are fuming about the revelations coming from the US’ gossip columnists, which the lapdogs are denying, why don’t they sue for libel?
Baliktad na ang mundo, bwahaha!
Nograles:
Fuck you, you hypocrite with shaved eyebrows. You want exclusive rights to destroy our country and while you’re doing that, you want us to keep quiet? No, that’s NOT what we want, moron!
Tayo pa ba ang sinasabi nilang “sumisira sa sariling bahay”?
Ano ba ang pinaggagagawa nila? Di ba’t pinagpapartipartihan na nila ang buong Pilipinas? Wala na nga silang itinitira para sa atin, ah?
Kapal talaga ng pagmumukha ng mga putanginang hayop na ‘yan!
That’s what I said earlier. Pero di nila iyan gagawin. Takot lang nila sa western media. Dahil alam nila lalo silang pag-iinitan. Kaya nila ang mga pilipino journalist pero mga kano, di nila kaya! Nanduduro lang ang mga duwag sa totoo lang.
I saw the picture of Nograles in Inquirer for the first time. Papaano nasisikmura ng asawa niyan ang pagmumukha niya? Tiyak pangit din si Mrs!
Nang magtapon ng kapangitan sa langit, mukhang sinakmal lahat ng unggoy! Yuck!
Sabi ng mga bayaran ni Gloria Dorobo, puro tsismis lang daw. Oh yeah? E di patunayan nila!
Mga unggoy talaga!
grizzy, nung nagsaboy ng kapangitan sa mundo, nakapayong siya kaya lang tiwarik yung payong kaya pasahod!
Check this out. There was also corruption at the time of Cory led by her brother Peping’s Kamag-anak Inc.
http://www.tribune.net.ph/headlines/20090816hed1.html
Didn’t you notice that Peping did not speak at the eulogy? How could he talk against corruption if he has tarnished his late sister’s good image?
http://www.malaya.com.ph/aug14/metro4.htm
Nakakakilabot na paghihikahos ng mga ginagagong bayani!
gloria, ukinnam! Pisting yawa ka!
Wondering if this is true???
“SOMEBODY sent a picture of Medy Poblador, President Gloria’s personal secretary, to Bobby Van’s Steakhouse in Washington.
The steakhouse management allegedly confirmed she was the lady who paid the bill for the $15,000 dinner of the President’s party, and not Quezon Representative Danilo Suarez.
Poblador reportedly also paid the bill at Le Cirque in New York for that $20,000 dinner.
If the President could lie about those dinners, how many more and bigger lies did she tell the people?”

nakayabang na naman si remonde…
e kung kaya resibo na lang ang pinapakita ng kumag…
Nasambit tuloy ng kaibigan kong pantas…
“In the Philippine Daily Inquirer, a photo caption of a 3-year old boy hugging his Marine dad’s coffin, and thinking that he is merely sleeping and will wake up. A poignant sight to bear in view of the recent uproar on the $20K dinner for GMA and entourage in NY.
For the 3-year old boy his fallen Marine dad is his everything – provider, protector, teacher, and champion. Now that he is gone, the boy’s future will depend on the effectiveness or the ineffectiveness of the government whom his fallen father and the rest fought and gave their all.
As such, I doubt if the Philippine Govt can even afford to pay death gratuity of $20K or an equivalent amount in peso to each of the next of kin of the 23 fallen warfighters. But, I don’t doubt the Government’s ability to splurge $20K for a one-sitting dinner or anything that they can satisfy their fetishes at the expense of those who paid the ultimate price.
The Arroyo boys (Mikey and Miguel) should enlist in the Marines and assigned to Basilan without special treatment in order to redeem themselves. Of course that will never happen.
What a sad sad state of the Philippine affair.”
Mike, that Mely Poblador is the niece of Manila Cardinal Rosales. Si Mely din yata ang nag-aabot ng sobre sa mga corrupt na Obispo.
Aywan ko kung tutoo pero balitang si Col. Querubin ay nasa ticket ni Villar sa NP.
kaibigang dodong,medyo nga yun ang balita,pero sa isang banda ay kailangan talaga ni col. ariel ng isang matibay na partido pero sana independent pa rin siya at magpa-adopt na lamang sa isang partido…
ang mahirap lang sa np ay chopsuey ang kandidato at mukhang kasama pa si brenda santiago???? ang batang marcos kahit paano ay maganda naman ang performance as legislator and congressman, low profile nga lang at di mayabang, kay sen. pia alanganin din ako parang pa-cute lang sa senado at cyempre ang mga balimbing di maiiwasan…sasakay sa pera at mataas na popularidad ng embattled former senate president.
anuman ang desisyon ni col. ariel ay siguradong napag-
isipan ng husto ng kaniyang mga trusted adviser,pero sana anuman ang maging desisyon niya ay suportahan natin.
sa aking opinyon,mas mainam kung sa isang non-trapo party o third force pero sa malungkot na katotohanan na kailangan ng isang malawak at matibay na makinarya para mailunsad ang isang national campaign.
marami pang balimbingan at lipat-bakod na darating kaya sana suportahan na lang natin ang mga taong may matuwid na paninindigan at magiging matinong politicos na makakatulong sa ating bayan.
NO TO TRAPOS 2010!
Si Brenda ay naunang nasa ticket ni Erap pero bakit ngayon ang balita kay Villar siya? Well, she goes to the highest bidder. Hindi siya nakakasiguro na mananalo siya ngayon. She’s not even in the INC’s list of candidates unlike before.
Here’s a portion of Manong Ernie Maceda’s recent column. Akala ko ang ibig sabihin ni Golez “…her sexual appetite”:
Lifestyle of the rich. Palace deputy spokesman Anthony Golez said it’s no crime for GMA to satisfy her appetite. Quezon Rep. Danny Suarez confirmed to us that he paid for the $15,000 dinner at Bobby Van’s Steakhouse in Washington. He said he invited the PSG and US Secret Service agents to eat dinner with the presidential entourage, thus the large number of 65 persons.
Representative Suarez said he gave the $15,000 in cash to a lady assistant of Ching Vargas, Malacañang finance officer, not Medy Poblador. He said his credit card limit cannot cover the bill.
How can he bring so much cash to the US? Isn’t it that one is limited to bring US$ 10K only? Or does he have a “secret” bank account in the US? If he has one, did he report it in his SALN? Just wondering!
Mike, don’t forget they carry diplomatic passports. Luggage and even money are not being checked due to protocol.
Manong Ernie has a point here:
Chiz, Manny Villar and Mar Roxas insist they are true blooded oppositionists. But that will still be open to question until the NP, LP and NPC break off from the House majority which is fully supportive of GMA, and join the opposition ranks in the House. It is not a sign of good leadership if Manny Villar as NP president and Mar Roxas as LP president cannot convince their party members to give up their chairmanships and now join the House opposition ranks. It smacks of rank opportunism, if not conspiracy.
o, bagong news naman na sabi ng manager ng le Cirkus na hindi naman daw ostentatious ang dinner ni Arroyo etal. Ipinagbabandera ito ng NY consul…siyempre naman hindi ito mahal sa kanila mga Cirkusan kasi sanay sila sa mapeperang tao. Ang isyu ay mga taong gobyerno ng isang Third World country ay kumain duon at nilustay ang kaban ng taongbayan…maski sino man sa kanila ang nag-blo-out ay ganun pa rin…sila ang mga PUBLIC SERVANTS NI JUAN DE LA CRUZ!!!
Siyempre inutusan ng Malacanang ang NY Consulate na gumawa ng ibang palusot. If the manager of La Circus really said that, it should be tape recorded or written as proof.
Conrado de Quiroz’ article truly expresses our collective anger to this fake administration!

Puede rin naming bayaran ang mga “contact manager” na ‘yan…
Hango ito sa Pocketful of Dough: Tips on Tipping.
Ito si Mario Wainer: gatekeeper. Matagal na rin siya sa Le Cirque para malaman ang mga “pasikut-sikot.”
di ko nasara ang tag, sorry.
Okay lang. Bahala na si taga-ilog sa tag.
GMA windfall from US visit may not be what it seems

Article heading in PDI Aug 13, 2009 reads:
‘Billions’ in investments vs dinner—Palace
?
However, Katigbak writes:
Quote from Mrs. Marcos (in The Equalizer):
“You know, we’re talking about a dinner for a President for an anniversary, and in America, it’s double, triple the prices. And you cannot put them in the sidewalk for their anniversary. Maawa naman kayo, para ‘yon lang! Nakakahiya ‘yong pinag-aawayan. Doon sa Amerika, ‘di malaki iyon.”
Mrs. Marcos, napakalaki po ang $20,000.00 dito sa America, lalo na ngayung recession.
Equivalent na po yan ng one year public university education ng anak ko dito sa Texas; 2.5 months na gross salary po yan ng isa kong anak (software engineer- na umaalis ng 8:00 ng umaga at umuuwi ng 8:00 ng gabi); 5 months na po yang sweldo ng anak ko na doctor na nag-reresidency dito, na halos gabi-gabi ay puyat dahil sa hospital duty nya; mababayaran na po nyan ang aming mga utility bills, phone bills, car insurance, health insurance, etc siguro sa loob ng 2 taon; sapat na po yang $20,000 sa groceries namin dito ng 2 taon; o kaya, pwede na kaming mag-dinner gabi-gabi sa mga restaurants, etc dito sa Texas sa loob ng 200-250 nights, including tips (at nang sa ganun di na ako magluluto pakagaling ko sa aking work…)
O kaya, kung sa Pilipinas yan, sa $20,000 or PhP960,000, pwede ko ng mapagtapos ng 4-year course ang 2-3 kong pamangkin (At sweldo ko na po yan sa loob ng tatlong taon nung nasa government service pa po ako diyan sa Philippines).
Hindi po madali ang pera dito, pwera na lang kung mga Philippine government officials ang gumagastos dito sa Amerika o saan man kung sila ay nasa foreign travel, at ang pera ginagaastos nila ay galing sa kaban ng bayan, na hindi nila pinaghirapan!!!
Sayang po, akala ko dahil matanda na kayo, nagbago na ang pananaw nyo.
