Haha. Funny! Reminds me of the alleged exodus of many an A-lister (who all passed by the backdoor) from the launch of a high-end car company as soon as she arrived. Not invited President Aquino recently hosted dinner at his official residence for some taipans to show his appreciation for their generous contributions to his wildly successful 2010 presidential campaign. The venue was Bahay Pangarap in Malacañang Park, which made the event a “must attend” for the movers and shakers of the Philippine economy since it denoted a certain level of personal intimacy, as compared to, say, if it were an official function in Malacañang Palace. One member of the official family who was politely kept away from the high-powered event was Internal Revenue Commissioner KIM HENARES—supposedly a SPECIFIC REQUEST of the TAIPANS, who wanted a RELAXING EVENING, and not one where they would have to keep their guards up. Henares apparently did not mind either, since she did not want to put the President’s campaign contributors in an uncomfortable position (at least not on that evening). There was, however, one notable absence among the members of the President’s official family: Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima. We’re told the guest list was prepared and vetted by no less than Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II. Both gentlemen are, of course, quick to dismiss this as “just intrigue.” But rumors of a rift are persistent. draw your own conclusions. Daxim L. Lucas business.inquirer.net/135103/biz-buzz-13
