During the funeral of the late President Aquino, no papies garhmen officials were in attendance as the garhmen never expected or anticipated that her son would become President! What I always wanted to highlight most of the time in the past was that the papies always say that Spore oppositions do not have talented or 'scholars' to lead the garhmen; but the truth of the matter is; given a chance anyone in the democratic world can be a leader! The late President Aquino was a housewife; and she rosed to the occasion when called upon by the people's power and ruled a much larger country without those papies scholastic and high and mighty arrogant ruling party! Basically down to earth and connect with the people is more important! The point here is that; anyone, remember the actor the late Ronald Reagan could also lead the gigantic USA!
Now that the son of the late Cory is assuming the role of the Presidency the papies scramble to 'sa ka or three legged' by sending BG Yeo to attend the inauguration! Maybe thru your good connections via CALD you may highlight the foregoing points to the counter party there with the view that your representative may be sitting side-by-side BG Yeo or more prominently than BG Yeo to 'lou gui' the papies garhmen! Ha! Ha! this is karma!
