CENTRAL LUZON OBSERVER

Malacañang deflected the issue of the First Couple's excessive wining and dining trip to US yesterday August 8, 2009 by slamming United Opposition chairman Jejomar Binay for capitalizing on the death of his political benefactor, former Mrs. Arroyo could honor Aquino by resigning her post as president.

Press Secretary Cerge Remonde, a Cebuano prolific liar said Binay’s latest remark was "too absurd to deserve a serious comment" and reminded the Makati City mayor that he was part of the opposition using the late President’s death to further its own vested political interests.
