hehe as usual. pasa load ang mga congressman. di ba nila naisip na sayang ang media mileage pagnakita silang umiikot sa mga devastated areas at namimigay sila ng relief goods? sabagay, may 2 yrs pa at sangkatutak na bagyo. mas importante ang libreng byahe at mapanood ng live si pacman.

Pati si DepED Sec. Lapuz, umalis din today. VL daw siya at sagot nya pamasahe at gastusin nya while in the US.. Manonood din daw siya ng laban ni Pacquiao, pero yung ticket, is courtesy of Pacman, dahil magkumpare daw sila.

Owwwsss! Sige na nga..........

no surprises there...it's been a common practice by these congressmen to tag along with the president during working visits...but the numbers presented here (59) is highly questionable.

Add to the 59 the individual staff and family members of those congressmen who tagged along...hay... wala talagang pag-asa Pilipinas

not even a state visit, it was just a working visit...

difference? if you will ask? working visit lahat ng gastos shoulder natin, pag state visit yun host country ang sasagot sa gastos...

so in short junket talaga...

yun lang ang alam natin but there are more

in a recent international conference last may, one philippine government agency sent 23 delegates where only 2 or even 5 (at most) are needed since only one official head of delegation is allowed to participate anyway in the deliberations

i was surprised why the press did not pick this up

and i wonder how many more such trips are there that we do not know of
