MILLIONS OF PUBLIC FUNDS WASTED ON ARROYO'S 72 FOREIGN TOURS
Posted on Monday, August 10, 2009 by The Observer
This story never ceases to shock me.
Mrs. Arroyo have clocked up P1.6 billion and more on overseas travel in just over eight (8) years, enjoying first class flights, chauffeured limousines, US restaurant tours and exclusive five star hotels. In their scandalous period abroad yet, slugged Filipino taxpayers almost $20,000 in a day of extravagant wining and dining while in the US.

An economist by training, Gloria Arroyo treats herself an executive officer and a chairman of the board and the country a private Republic of the Philippines Corportation. Her expensive jetsetting around the world was compared to promoting the newest line of products of a company that includes highly educated domestic helpers, 1700 fiesta islands for sale, money laundering free banks, free bank secrecy and many exciting line by products of her wild mind.
No belt-tightening for the presidential partners traveling on public's money. Although many Filipinos are rattling their cups for money after the global financial crisis, partners Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Jose Miguel "Mike the Fatguy" Arroyo and their cabals of lawmakers from the very low Lower House of Congress didn't skimp when they dipped into a public purse to pay for their monthly overseas tours.
