Siguradong madami na namang politician ang makikita natin sa laban ni Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton sa Sabado (US time). According to this report 50 members of the House of Representatives flew to Las Vegas to watch the fight. I remember during the last fight, in addition to the always present Chavit Singson we saw Vice President Noli de Castro doing what seems to be an early campaign photo opt with the boxing champ. Sino kaya sa mga politicians or presidentiables ang magpaparamdam sa TV?
Ibig sabihin, madaming politicians ang wala sa Labor Day at kasalukuyang absent sa kanilang mga trabaho.
Bakit nga ba kailangan pang pumunta sa Las Vegas? Napakagastos o luho naman yata nun. Kahit pa sabihin nilang personal travel expense yon, mga Pinoy pa rin ang nagpapasweldo. Lagi ko nga sinasabi na dahil elected officials sila they are called to live up to a higher moral and ethical standard because of God's divine appointment given to them to uphold order and justice among His people. This includes being a bit more responsible and accountable with their financial expenses.
Siguro nga good idea yung i-quarantine silang lahat sa kanilang pagbalik. In addition to the swine flu virus, i-check na rin kung siguradong personal money ang kanilang ginamit at kung may natitira pa silang dangal na ihaharap sa kanilang mga constituents.
