My oh, my... after meeting with US President Barack Obama, our little president together with her entourage dined at Le Cirque in New York and lavishly spending a whooping US$20,000!
Goodness, when most of my countrymen are within or below poverty line? And when the whole nation is mourning at the passing of our beloved ex-President and democracy icon, Tita Cory? When the people are patiently lining at the streets to get just a glimpse of Tita Cory's dead body for hours without breakfast or lunch or dinner yet? There they are... feasting themselves at a pricey New York restaurant. What a nice way to show condolences to the entire nation.
Even if the Philippine government is not footing the bill, still, the picture it paints in the minds of the Filipinos is really ugly. Not to mention that her family and administration is tainted with allegations of graft and corruption. Really excessive and insensitive.
