Mikey Arroyo’s ‘expensive’ US visit

[Galactus]

Patabain mo ng konti si Mikey, tapos lagyan mo ng dalawang sungay at tahi sa mata, kamukha na niya si Draco...

wala na talagang pag asang bumuti ang buhay ng marami dahil ang pangungurakot ginagawa ng mga magulang, tiyo, tiya etc. na nasa pwesto, tapos mga anak naman, susunod apo.
wala ng katapusan yan!

IMO, it's not only Mikey and his brood - it's nearly every high-placed public official and their family members. This has been happening for decades so don't be surprised. This situation is not "endemic" to the Philippines but this bad practice is present all over. Trips like these are what a lot of people call "junkets".
