Just read the story here: Arroyo says her foreign trips keep RP afloat
Yeah right.
Basically, the news states that because of her trips to other countries, Philippines had an uninterrupted growth. That these trips resulted are supposed to fix the economy, protect overseas workers, and protect national security.
She's trying to divert the issue here. She keeps going back to the supposed economic growth of the country. That's not the issue here. Hell, she's the president, she MUST do that. The people expect nothing less. If it were even true, then good for her.
However, the issue here is her extragance and blatant display of wealth and power, while most of the Filipinos don't have much to live by. It's so insensitive. Assuming that her trips did result to the economic growth, does that mean she has the right to blatantly display her wealth? Enjoying the fruits of her labor, if you will... Like it's a reward that she deserves...
It's quite disgusting the way she tries to wriggle out of the issues. Not even a hint of apology. Oh well, I guess she got traumatized the last time she apologized a few years back during the Hello Garci scandal. (By the way, what happened? Anybody able to follow that story? It just disappeared without any heads rolling...)
Oh well, let's leave it at that I guess... Let's just keep an eye out for whatever else she's gonna do...
