What? Another Lavish Dining?

The news about the lavish dinner amounting to $20,000 (or P960,000) at Manhattan’s Le Cirque by President Gloria Arroyo and her entourage in her very recent trip in the United States have not yet subsided, yet amazingly another show for extravagance is now herding the news.

Reported in the The Washington Post blog that prior to the New York’s grandiose dinner, the President and 65 more others had a similar dining extravagance at Bobby Van's Steakhouse in Washington hours after President Arroyo met with US President Barack Obama. It was also reported in the said column that an unidentified woman paid the bill which reached $15,000.

The incident was confirmed by Quezon Representative Danilo Suarez, but would not divulge how much was spent and how many was with them.

Will it be the last or these are just teasers? I’m not ready to hear more about extravagant spending by President Arroyo in the next few days. But, I can only hope.
