I think we obsess ourselves too much with what the President eats. A sudden case of stomachache some years back was traced to puto at dinuguan, and now we’re talking steaks and wines at a fancy-schmancy New York restaurant and DC-area steakhouse.
Since media obsesses itself with the trivial (at least that’s what Cerge Remonde implies), ABS-CBN reported way back that Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo had breakfast some months back at McDonald’s as part of her itinerary to “spread goodwill.”
I doubt that Gloria would have been greeted this way:
Good morning Mamser President Gloria welcome to McDonald’s, ano pong order nila?
Then again, you never know. Miss Universe ang drama ng lola nyo. Congeniality and goodwill ang efek! Washuuu…
