After receiving much flack for eating and drinking expensive things in New York and Washington D.C., while the rest of the country die of hunger, the decision to cancel the jet was a wise one. Cause if she didn't, ewan ko na lang talaga.
According to minion Press Sec. Cerge Remonde, the President will postpone catering to her "needs" even if the next President would actually be the one benefiting from it. The jet was supposed to be used for her travels around the world.
Arroyo has been receiving much criticism from sectors of the society for her alleged extravagant lifestyle of overseas trips and luxury dinners. If I were a hungry kid along Katipunan and I hear that the President is out of the country eating caviar and drinking champagne, I'd be angry too. And then you hear that she plans to buy a billion-peso jet while you can't even afford to build your own kariton is just adding insult to the industry.
Honestly, how can she take doing all those things when she know that majority of her country is living in despair?
Spending 2.78 billion pesos just for her foreign trips in just five years, 2003-2008? And we tell our people, that our country is in great debt and our economy is in bad shape? That we do not have enough money to provide proper care, health and education to majority of our people?
Heartless.
Good thing, she was wise enough not to purchase that jet. Cause if she did, she'll never hear the end of it.
