According to Page Six section of the foreign newspaper New York Post, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo allegedly spent a whopping 20,000 US$ on a dinner at Le Cirque New York City, USA. It happened after her scheduled business meeting with US President Barrack Obama.
Mrs. Arroyo didn’t seem to mind her status – a public head of a country with millions of indigent people – while ordering the lavish meal consisting of:
Appetizers:
lobster salad, wild burgundy escargot and soft shell crab tempura
Main course:
black cod, halibut, Dover sole, saddle of lamb and prime dry-aged strip steak
Additional:
caviar and Krug champagne at $510 a bottle.
Whew! that meal fit the Royal families! Many public figures opposing PGMA cringed upon learning the issue and gave a “bad aftertaste” opinions on the President’s alleged millionaire extravaganza.
On the President’s defense, Press Sec. Cerge Remonde came to the rescue! He said that it was Congressman Martin Romualdez who paid for the tab on the said Restaurant.
On a personal note, after checking the price list of Le Cirque, the food wasn’t that super expensive. Price ranges from 40-120 US$ per person (w/out wine). Unless, she brought a “very” large fleet with her then that would be a different story.
After a couple of days, for sure this issue will fade away. No one will know if this is true or just a hoax overblown to catch media attention. In any case, PGMA should have been extra careful doing such kind of activities especially when all Filipino eyes are on her.

Have you observed/experienced somehow in your work, employees who were leaving and have grudges with their employer? Based from my experiences, these were the people that must be carefully watch over, why? because they will do everything they can to revenge, or just simply do damage to their company before they leave. In the case of our president, she is like a leaving employee, and it’s no wonder why she is doing this, indulging herself in the expense of our poor country. IT SUCKS!!!!
