a bugged conversation with Pnoy

Shortly after the Harapan panel interview which was broadcasted live to the detriment of Philippine president Benigno Noynoy Aquino, this conversation was caught by one of our "insiders". Just listen in...

Staffer: " You were great, Mr. President.."
Pnoy: " Thank you, thank you. Sino ka nga pala?"
Staffer: " Sir, I am (tweet). "
Pnoy: " Ah....Samar or Balai? Dami nyo kasi, di ko na ma-remember.."
Staffer: " Balai po...pero, don't mention it out loud po, Mr. President. Baka ma pickup ng media..."
Pnoy: " Ah, oo nga pala, right, right. Wala pa lang paksyon, right. Sorry."
Staffer: " It's alright, Mr. President. Thank you rin po at napagbigyan kami sa request namin na humarap kayo sa media. Di kasi namin ma-convince sila eh."
Pnoy: " Eh, pano ninyong macoconvince, wala naman sa inyo yung dissemination of information. Di ba, Samar ang bahala dun? "
Staffer: " Yun nga po eh. At least, sa broadcast, me laban kami. Sila naman, sa print lang yata."
Pnoy: "Really? Ah, okey, okey."

(another staffer approaches Pnoy)

Staffer 2: " Sir, punta na tayo sa next appointment." (staffer eyes the other from head to toe.)
Pnoy: " Right, right, teka, alisin ko muna itong amerikana ko."
Staffer 2: " Getting hot under the collar ba ho?"
Pnoy: " Come again?"
Staffer 2: "Nothing Mr. President. I really don't agree with this po, Mr. President. Nagmukha kayong..."
Pnoy: : " Okey lang, okey lang. I enjoyed it though. Kahit na madaming questions, okey lang. Did I answered the questions well? Okey naman ba?"
Staffer 2: " As usual Mr. President. I just hope maniwala ang taumbayan..."
Pnoy: " Come again? Staffer ka ba talaga dito? Anong grupo ka ba?"
Staffer 2: " Sir, I was the recommendation of Senator Chiz po."
Pnoy: " Ah, I see....Samar ba?
Staffer 2: " Nope po. Binay group."
Pnoy: " Ah, kaya pala."
Staffer 2: " Come again po, Mr. President?"
Pnoy: "Nothing, nothing. O sige na. let's go to our appointment.."

Staffer 1 intervenes...

Staffer 1: " Excuse me, Mr. President..."
Pnoy: " Yes po..."
Staffer 1: " Let me remind you Mr. President that your next appointment is with sir RC po and sir MQ po later.."
Pnoy: " I thought its a drinking spree with Paquito sa Samar..."
Staffer 2: " Yes, that's in the schedule.."
Pnoy: " I thought so too."
Staffer 1: " Sorry po but it was changed this morning Mr. President. You need to go with us sa Balai to eat merienda."
Pnoy: "Ganun ba? "
Staffer 1: "Yes, Mr. President."
Pnoy: " Who changed the schedule?"
Staffer goes near the President's ear.
Pnoy: "Ganun ba? Okey, okey.Sige...Col. Dizon!"
Col. Dizon: "Yes Mr. President"
Pnoy: " Prepare my toys. I am going to Balai."
Staffer 1 smiles. Staffer 2 frowns.

Staffer 2: But Mr. President...
Pnoy: " Don't say anything. I am just following schedule. Tell Paquito to just drink and wait for me.Wag kamong maglasing nang wala pa ako, okey?"
Staffer 2: (lamely) Ok po Mr. President."
