I have a plan, I will visit Baguio. Maybe, just maybe, I'd find tarpaulins all over the city thanking me that I visited the city. But then again, I do not have the funds to pay for those tarpaulins. Unlike our dear President.
GMANews.TV reports in an article entitled "Arroyo government sponsors thank you's to itself" published today, that Philippine Information Agency (PIA) chief Secretary Conrado Limcaoco Jr., received a memo from PIA Cordillera Director Helen Tibaldo with the subject “Tarps for Presidential Visit.” Notice that PIA is under the Office of the President.
The memo is thanking PIA for their preparations for GMA’s visit from August 28 -29. At the third paragraph of the memo, it states “For our part, we would like to request for the printing of the tarps along the route with the following suggested messages.” It then lists down at least five messages that the tarps would contain. All of them, expressing thanks to our dear President for her work and dedication from different sectors of the Cordillera community. But something’s fishy about these sectoral groups. They are groups that are “amorphous” in nature. Go figure.
Both parties have confirmed that a memo was sent but both did not comment on the contents of the said memo.
And I wonder, did she have to buy all these tarps just so she can assure herself that she is actually doing something for the country? What’s your take?
