    Palace welcomes proposal for purchase of new presidential car

    MALACAŅANG welcomed on Monday a proposal for the acquisition of a brand new presidential car.

    "Yes, we welcome the resolution of the House to provide the President with a more updated bullet proof car," presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda told reporters.

    Some administration lawmakers filed House Resolution 2191, asking the Department of Budget and Management to earmark fund for the bulletproof and bombproof vehicle for President Benigno Aquino III.

    Among those who have been pushing for the purchase of the new car were Representatives Ben Evardone (Eastern Samar), Alfredo Benitez (Negros Occidental), Cesar Sarmiento (Catanduanes), and Mel Senen Sarmiento (Western Samar).

    They were among those who inked the Articles of Impeachment against Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona.

    The congressmen, in a statement, said the three official vehicles that the President has been using are now in sorry state and unfit already for Aquino's use.

    The three official vehicles include two Mercedes Benz W221 S-Class limousines, which were bought in 1998, and a Mercedes Benz S-Guard automobile, which was purchased in 2007.

    The last acquired vehicle was sidelined by the Presidential Security Group after it was damaged by floods when Typhoon Ondoy struck Metro Manila in 2009.

    The lawmakers said the President is now using his personal car.

    If the president wants to use his personal car then let it be...

    The limo needs to be extensively refurbished, as some of its major electrical/electronic components need replacing. Adding that CATS charges an arm and a kidney for labor and parts, its much cheaper to buy a new limo in the long term, than maintain the flooded unit. Which every now and then breaks down, aircon not working, door locks/windows malfunctioning (imagine P-Noy unable to get out of that car). The list goes on.

    Re: The congressmen, I beg to disagree on behalf of Albee Benitez.

    Google the economic credentials of this guy and you'll think his pork barrel is just peanuts.

    OT:

    I wonder what happened to the Marcos Pullmans?

    It was a fact that he had 3 Mercedes Benz 600's, and a 600 Landaulet.
