Arroyo Dinners: Delicassen over delicadeza: And it's not just $20,000

Arroyo's rabid attack dogs led by Presidential chuwawah Cerge Remonde was arrogant and angry when he guested this morning at the ABS-CBN morning show Umagang Kay Ganda. Remonde accused leftists of "conspiring" to create furor over a "simple dinner" which they had last August 2 at Le Cirque restaurant.

Cerge, what is simple about a US$20,000 dinner at a ritzy place like that? I heard that, aside from Le Cirque, the presidential entourage had NUMEROUS dinners and PARTIES, which started in WASHINGTON, NEW YORK and even in SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA.

So, Cerge, stop fooling us, please. Wala kang lusot dito Mr. Remonde. You admitted that you were billeted at the Wardorff Astoria, a first class hotel in New York. If you're not austentatious and if you did'nt want to flaunt your wealth and power, di ba dapat dun na lang kayo kumain? But, no. Hindi ba masarap ang pagkain sa Wardorff? Hindi ba French?

Instead, you crossed the street to purposively enjoy fine French dining. And it's not WHO actually footed the bill---ang isyu ay DELICADEZA, hindi DELICASSEN, ha, Cerge? Kuha mo na. O, naging utak Franses ka na?

Tama na ang kapekehan. Nagawa ninyong kumain at the time na nagluluksa ang mga kapwa ninyo Pilipino sa pagkamatay ni Tita Cory? At may mukha pa kayong humarap sa wake ni Tita Cory pagkatapos ninyong magpaka baboy sa Le Cirque?

Que horror! este, ca pute! for Gloria and merde! for you.

Arroyo & Her Dinner Buddies Committed a Crime

Hindi lamang kahiya-hiya kundi lumabag pa sa batas si Gloria Arroyo sampu ng kanyang mga alipores nang magpakita sila ng thoughtless extravagance in expenses for pleasure or display during a period of acute public want or emergency" na nakasaad sa Article 25 ng Civil Code gayundin sa Republic Act 3019 nang nagpista sila sa Le Cirque restaurant sa New York na naitaon pa sa pagluluksa natin sa pagkamatay ni Tita Cory.

Ah ha, so the story goes that it was Representative Martin Romualdez who allegedly put the $ 20,000 bill for that ostentatious dinner at the Le Cirque restaurant in New York. Presidential tell-tale Cerge Remonde said that it was a "casual dinner, no partying" while another Cong. Danilo Suarez said the place was "not fashionable."

Tangekngek talaga ang mga taong ito. And I'm really not entirely surprised that they really don't know the issue. Or, nagtatanga tangahan na lang o talagang ogag na.

Cerge, iho de cono ka, wala kaming paki-alam kung casual dinner o nagkaroon kayo ng party dun. Ang isyu eh, bakit kayo nag lustay ng mahigit isang milyong piso para sa pagkain ninyo dun. Ang daming puwedeng kainan, pagkain ninyo pa lang sa Waldorff Astoria, yang hotel ninyo ng boss mo, maganda na riyan. Bakit pa kayo tumawid at nagpunta sa Le Cirque?

At para pala sa inyo, ang "casual" eh, aabutin na ng isang milyon. Pano pa kung may party? Ibig mo palang sabihin iho de cono ka, na mas higit pa sa milyon ang ginagastos ninyo pag nagpapartihan kayo? (get the double entendre--party at partihan? :-)

At kung talagang sinagot ni Martin Romualdez yang dinner na yan, ano naman kaya ang kapalit
niyon? Ganun na ba kayaman si Romualdez na sa kabila ng paghihirap at kagutumang nararanasan ng kanyang mga kababayan sa Leyte, ay gayon na lamang siya magtapon ng pera?

Sinasalamin lamang nito ang kawalang puso ng ating mga opisyales de gobyerno sa ating mga kapakanan.
