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…
Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has granted full executive pardon to ex-president Joseph “Erap” Estrada yesterday. Erap, as we all know, has been recently convicted of plunder just six weeks before. According to spokesperson Ignacio Bunye, GMA has exercised her executive powers to grant full clemency and that Malacanang has also a policy to grant pardon to prisoners “over 70 years of age”. The ex-president is exactly 70 years old.
DILG Secretary Ronaldo Puno was tasked to serve the pardon and went to Tanay, Rizal to give Erap the good news. As of this writing, Erap has already come back to San Juan, his home city (where I also live).
It was really horrendous traffic here kanina as thousands gathered in front of the municipal hall where Erap gave a short speech around 8pm. The entire N.Domingo street was blocked to traffic all the way to the SM Centerpoint bridge.
Too bad, I was not able to get photos since I waited it out at the office, having to file a million forms and do final checks for the player kits for LIVE 2007.
Anyways, check out the video below if you missed it on TV.

The explosion happened at around 1:20pm at the area near the Luk Yuen tea house. I was deeply worried and I immediately called all my staff and friends who I know frequent the area. Thank goodness, everyone was safe. But I feel sad for the victims who died and the wounded. This is simply atrocious.
