After the $20,000 dinner at Le Cirque by the president and her entourage, I recently found out that Malacanang is shopping around for a private jet worth at least P1.2 Billion!

OMGWTF!?! Have we gone to the dogs? Imagine how many projects for the poor or better things to do with that money. And to think that the president only has a few more months left in her term. This is unthinkable.

Interested suppliers are required to place a non-refundable P100,000 bond. Details after the break…

Malacanang’s Requirements for the Private Jet

• factory new, twin-engine (turbo-fan engines),
• pressurized, fitted with auxiliary power unit,
• with VIP cabin configuration
• should have been used as a VIP/Executive aircraft by the country of origin and by at least two countries
• Bidders should have a repair shop within the Southeast Asian region with the necessary tools, equipment, and skilled personnel.

All these details were in a recent ad posted by the Philippine government at a national broadsheet.

Thoughts?
