Aquino’s hotdog delight not ‘scripted’ — Palace
09/25/2010
Malacañang yesterday defended President Aquino’s so-called “cheap” lifestyle while staying at the Big Apple, given his photo op of eating hotdog sandwiches and pizzas across New York City’s busy streets over healthy yet affordable meals, that was described by many as a poor “publicity stunt” carried out by his propagandists.
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda claimed that the President was just showing his “natural” character as a person when he decided to grab a bite at a hotdog kiosk in New York for his lunch and insisted that this move was not “scripted” and neither was he trying to score “pogi” points from the general public through the media.
He explained that they really cannot do away with people who would try to ascribe various and often conflicting opinions with the way the President carries himself in public since everyone is entitled to his own opinion to begin with.
