ps. you do not read out loud the words in ( ) - those are my personal comments!!
To all my dear kababayans.
The dinner incident that transpired in Le Cirque on Aug 1 (Manila Time) is something that i am personally not proud of. It was a lapse in judgment on my part and i, and my colleagues there, meant no disrespect whatsoever.
I apologize for not being sensitive at that time to our current economic situation and giving in to our groups wants at that time failing to consider the context by which it was taking place. There were no public funds spent during that dinner (glenver: as she and her friends claim) but that is not an excuse for us in failing to opt for a more modest way of celebrating my & Mike's anniversary.
It was truly a very special event personally. And we wanted to celebrate it with the grandeur that it symbolized for me and my family. However, as i contemplate on this event in retrospect, i realized these are privileges that i should have denied myself for the time being as a public servant.
I personally am taking this as a hard lesson i have to learn as the leader of our great nation. I sincerely pray that this do not over shadow my pure intentions and the hard work i put in everyday to improve the lives of every single Filipino (glenver: again.. so she claims).
I will work hard to earn the forgiveness of all our hungry countrymen & women.
Maraming salamat po!
